Kdan Mobile

Kdan Mobile Software Limited is a Taiwan-based software application development company headquartered in Tainan City. Founded in 2009 by Kenny Su, who previously worked at Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute, the company developed around software for handling PDF documents and related digital-document workflows. Its position sits at the intersection of productivity software, document management, and mobile applications. The company was established during a period when smartphones and tablets were changing how users created, viewed, annotated, signed, and shared documents. Kdan Mobile's early focus on PDF applications placed it in a practical productivity niche: providing tools for users who needed to work with business and personal documents away from desktop computers. The available reference material does not identify every product or product launch, but it describes the company broadly as an application developer centered on PDF documents. Kdan Mobile has developed an international operating footprint despite its Taiwanese base. In addition to its Tainan headquarters, the company has branches or offices in Taipei, Changsha, Irvine in California, Japan, and South Korea. This geographic presence reflects an effort to serve customers and business partners across East Asia and North America rather than operating solely as a domestic software publisher. The company financed its expansion through venture investment. In 2018, it completed a Series B financing that raised a reported total of US$16 million. The investment group included Dattoz Partners of South Korea, WI Harper Group of the United States, Taiwania Capital of Taiwan, and Golden Asia Fund Mitsubishi UFJ Capital of Japan. The reference material also states that Kdan had previously raised US$5 million in a Series A round in 2018, although it does not provide enough detail to establish the precise timing or relationship between the two financing announcements. Kdan Mobile is best characterized as a privately held enterprise-software and productivity-application company rather than a consumer-electronics brand. Its brand proposition is associated with making document work more mobile, accessible, and digitally managed. The available sources do not establish a public listing, parent corporation, revenue figures, current ownership structure, or a complete catalogue of active products. Accordingly, those details remain unconfirmed in this dossier.

Kdan Mobile Software Limited was founded in 2009 in Taiwan by Kenny Su, who became the company's chief executive. Before establishing the company, Su worked at the Industrial Technology Research Institute, a major Taiwanese research and technology organization. Kdan Mobile's original business direction was software application development for PDF documents, placing the company in the productivity-software market as mobile devices became increasingly important tools for reading and working with business files. The company's development has centered on digital documents rather than hardware. Its software focus addresses activities such as accessing and working with PDF files, although the supplied reference material does not provide a verified product-by-product chronology. This makes it possible to identify the company's broad category and specialization, but not to reconstruct a complete launch history or determine which individual applications remain active. Kdan Mobile expanded beyond its original Taiwanese base through branches or offices in Taipei, Changsha, Irvine, California, Japan, and South Korea. The distribution of these locations indicates an international operating model spanning Taiwan, mainland China, North America, and East Asia. The company is therefore more accurately described as an internationally oriented Taiwanese software developer than as a locally focused application studio. Financing became an important milestone in the company's growth. The available account states that Kdan Mobile raised US$5 million in a Series A round in 2018 and subsequently completed a Series B financing in the same year. The Series B was reported at US$16 million in total and involved four global investment firms: South Korea's Dattoz Partners, the United States' WI Harper Group, Taiwania Capital of Taiwan, and Japan's Golden Asia Fund Mitsubishi UFJ Capital. The supplied material does not specify whether the Series A amount was cumulative, the exact closing dates, or the use of proceeds, so those points are not expanded here. Kdan Mobile's documented identity remains that of a privately held software company whose principal specialization is PDF and digital-document applications. The available references do not establish a later acquisition, stock-market listing, change of control, or a successor brand. They also do not provide verified revenue, employee, customer, or market-share figures. Kenny Su is identified as founder and CEO in the reference material, while no other executives are documented. The company's present status is treated as active because the reference describes an operating company, but a detailed current corporate profile would require additional authoritative sources.
