Hi there! I see you're encountering a network error with the PDF Gear app on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7. Let's work together to figure out what's causing this and get it fixed.

To start, could you tell me a bit more about the error? For example:
- When exactly does the network error occur? (e.g., opening files, saving, converting)
- Are you connected to the internet without issues in other apps?
- Any recent changes to your network or computer setup?

Meanwhile, here are some straightforward steps to try for network issues with PDF Gear on your Mac:

1. Check Internet Connection: Make sure your Mac is connected to a stable internet network. You can open a browser and load a webpage to confirm.
2. Restart PDF Gear: Quit the app fully and then reopen it, sometimes this refreshes network processes.
3. Check Output Path Permissions: PDF Gear needs permission to write files where it saves conversions or edits. Try changing the folder where files are saved to a location like your Desktop, where you definitely have write access, then try again.
4. Firewall and Security Settings: Sometimes, macOS firewall or security software may block PDF Gear's internet access. You can check your firewall settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall, and ensure PDF Gear is allowed through.
5. Restart Your Mac: Simple but effective—sometimes network glitches resolve after a reboot.

If those basic troubleshooting steps don't resolve the network error, we can dig a bit deeper. There may be settings inside PDF Gear related to proxy or network configurations, or it might be a permission config issue unique to macOS Catalina (10.15.7) that we can address.

Please let me know what you observe with the above steps and any other details about your situation! That way, I can guide you toward a precise fix.

Are you able to provide those details?

Common issues with PDF Gear on iOS 15.3.2

Thanks for asking about common issues with PDF Gear on iOS 15.3.2! From what I've gathered, users on that iOS version sometimes experience a few typical problems with PDF apps in general, including PDF Gear. Here are some relevant points:

1. App Crashes or Unexpected Closures
Some users report that PDF Gear may randomly shut down or crash without an error message. This can happen during heavy use or when working with large or complex PDF files. Usually, these crashes happen quietly, just closing the app unexpectedly1.

2. Display Issues with PDFs
There have been reports with iOS 15.3.2 involving PDF files that don't display properly—some documents load but show missing text or fonts, or only images appear. Although this issue is more commonly talked about with Adobe Reader, it’s worth watching out for with PDF Gear if you notice similar problems2 3.

3. Compatibility with Certain PDF Features
As mobile OS updates roll out, some PDF editing features might behave inconsistently until app updates catch up. So if you try advanced edits or specific annotations, they might sometimes fail or render strangely on iOS 15.3.2.

Given that, here are some tips you can try to improve PDF Gear’s stability and avoid issues:

- Keep PDF Gear Updated: Ensure you are running the latest version of PDF Gear from the App Store, as updates often fix bugs with new iOS versions.
- Restart Your Device: This can clear temporary glitches in memory or network connectivity affecting app behavior.
- Test with Different PDFs: Try opening various PDFs, especially smaller or simpler ones, to verify if a specific file is causing trouble.
- Check iOS Updates: Sometimes, Apple releases minor updates fixing issues that could affect apps handling PDFs.
