Kdan Mobile Software is a privately owned application and software development company based in Tainan City, Taiwan. Kdan also has branches in Taipei, Huntingdon, Changsha, Beijing, and Tokyo. The company was founded in 2009 by Kenny Su, the company’s CEO.

The company started 2018 by raising 5 million USD in Series A Financing following a successful 2017 [1], and was named a Top-10 Best Software Company by the Silicon Review later that year.[2]

History

Inception

Kdan Mobile got its start in 2009, when Kenny Su developed PDF Reader, an application that converts documents into PDF files. The application was well-received by the market, and inspired Su to start Kdan.[3]

Initial Products and Growth

Kdan’s flagship applications include: PDF Reader series, NoteLedge, and Animation Desk series. They have since added Markup, Write-on Video, and NoteLedge. Their applications are supported on all operating systems and are available on smart devices and desktops.

In July 2015, Kdan launched a new series of apps (Creativity 365), integrated with its own Cloud services.[4]

The company built upon its experience with PDF technology by successfully introducing DottedSign, an eSign service, in spring 2019. DottedSign is available on any device or operating system.[5]

All projects and documents created or edited in the company’s software can be stored on the Kdan Cloud, their online storage service. The Kdan Cloud was released as a standalone application available for download on Apple and Android devices in early 2019.[6]

Partnerships

Kdan has expressed an interest in working with strategic business partners to increase their presence in international markets. In 2014, Kdan partnered with Nokia so their NoteLedge application would come pre-installed in Nokia’s Lumia 1320 for the Taiwanese market. Kdan entered into similar partnerships with Samsung (2014), Adonit (2014), and LKKER [7](2017). Most recently, they collaborated with Qihoo 360. Kdan’s PDF Reader application will now come preinstalled with Qihoo’s 360OS, an Android-based operating system.
