"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."

"I love that someone added features that Smartsheet seems to be unable or unwilling to add."
Ryan Ballew
Program Manager at Verizon
"PHENOMINAL app! A no brainer purchase for any Smartsheet super-user. Auto-sorting a sheet, printing or exporting a grouped/summarized report, SEARCHING FOR COLUMNS BY NAME! All in one packaged app that's controlled within Smartsheet. Amazing. Highly, highly, highly recommend."
Kayla Sweeney
Smartsheet Solutions Consultant at Better Work Week
"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
