Excellent replacement for Adobe Acrobat Pro

I switched from Adobe Acrobat Professional and have been using it for 6 months. I am happy it does everything i need and some things even better than Acrobat. The UI is a bit different but I learnt to adapt. It is more stable and rarely crashes. It is also much much better than other PDF readers such as Nitro and 995.

Functionality

Pros:

* Full compatibility with Adobe Acrobat PDF for most use cases * Advanced features such as commenting and PDF assembly and optimization are still supported * No ridiculous ongoing subscription fees and Adobe Cloud * Faster than Adobe Acrobat Pro * Doesn't pre-process document flow like Acrobat which makes it much faster to open PDFs

Cons:

* Default "color styles" are not great and too dark for use with Highlight Tool, would be better if you could change these to your own color and opacity * Ctrl Z undo when copy and pasting text boxes will crash it. Just press Del instead. * Image and object extraction is not always possible (Export selection and Snapshot tools are not available)

Reasons for choosing Tungsten Power PDF

More feature complete including PDF optimization, assembly, commenting, and stable

Important tool in going "Paper Less"

I am presently using Power PDF Advanced 1.1 in my CPA firm and have been using it and its predecessor software for nearly 20 years. It has helped me move my office into the "paper less" era. That is not paperless but "paper less" or less paper. It is highly unlikely that all paper can be eliminated at this point in time but a significant portion of what we previously printed and stored in filing cabinets is now "printed" to PDF using the included PDF printer driver and is stored electronically on our network. We have been able to reduce the number of filing cabinets in the office by using PDF storage of what otherwise would have been on paper.

Functionality

Pros:

Power PDF is a fairly simple program to use while still providing features that some PDF implementations either do not provide or make hard to understand.

Cons:

Power PDF seems to have a bit of trouble with some PDF forms created by the Canadian and Ontario governments. Sometimes a field that is supposed to contain dollars and cents goes in as a number with 8 digits after the decimal place. However, if one saves the PDF, closes it, and reopens, it will show properly with 2 decimal places. This very well could be fixed in the current version of the software. I am still using Power PDF Advanced 1.1.

Reasons for choosing Tungsten Power PDF

Of all the various products that were considered, only Power PDF and the Adobe solution were ready for prime-time. I recall one package that was a series of programs to manipulate PDFs through the DOS command line rather than a Windows WYSIWYG package that is simpler for those who are not command line geeks.

Reasons for switching to Tungsten Power PDF

We needed the ability to create and edit PDF files and the Adobe solution was prohibitively expensive.

Pros:

Price: not a subscription therefore choose when to upgrade; Forms: easy conversion to forms (some mistakes but mostly a good result; Programming: Java Script to manage data input ensuring data integrity & consistency; also calculation of numeric fields. Allows creation of templates to facilitate easy client completion of forms.

Cons:

No Java Script syntax manual/help file available. ChatGPT is filling a gap here! Dynamic Stamps cannot be created beyond an auto date. I would like to be able to add a single page to a document that has all of my coding on it but then make it hjidden so that clients cannot see it or "break" it. Don't seem to be able to set default print settings - specifically double sided flip on short/long side

Efficient PDF software

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

The software has plenty of tools, in terms of PDF management and editing (combining, extracting, converting, redacting, etc.). It is efficient, and the interface is appreciable. It cost less than other more expensive softwares, it is more modern and has more options. I especially greatly appreciate the possibility to open a "New Window" of the same document.

Cons:

It takes a little bit of time to adjust to the software, it is not the most intuitive to find tools. However, it's is not too long to get adjusted and once you are, it is very efficient.

Reasons for switching to Tungsten Power PDF

Cost reduction measures, Adobe was too expensive.

Power PDF Advanced for Windows Not to be confused with Standard

It is a highly recommended package with a price tag that can be affordable or value for money, if you have that to spend. It is sometimes best to have multiple document come together in PDF editor. This package will do a great job from combining file to bates stamping with advanced formatting and page positioning, page numbering with section control.

Pros:

It has all the bells of a paid PDF editor package./ However, the impact is with the batch process functions that can be used to perform actions such as multi file optimization and other programmatic activities that applied to multiple document in one folder. I also can say that the OCR functionalities seem to be a bit better than other packages that I have investigated. This is now my main package but...

Cons:

I think it is a but pricy. I don't like the companies licensing policy. The process to move licenses from one PC to another is a bit difficult, especially if you don't have the original PC at hand, eg. when your harddisk is destroyed or failed.

Reasons for choosing Tungsten Power PDF

Foxit is a great alternative. However PowerPDF meet requirement to the fullest and provided a batch function that was critical.
