Must have tool in the office

PROS

It just works. No quirks, intuitive interface and simple to make the most of the software. I've been using it for years (and in another role use a different pdf tool as part of a corporate standard) and see the differences. PowerPDF is so much easier to use and increases productivity. Often, I move docs from one computer to another so I can use PowerPDF instead of the other.

CONS

It can be pricey for small office/SOLO's

More bang for your buck.

We needed a fast reliable PDF program that could do then just view documents and this was the clear winner.

PROS

Power PDF is easy to use and full featured. I am not a fan of having to pay subscriptions for everything, so this is fantastic one-time purchase. You don't need a cloud account it just works.  

CONS

There are some occasional issues with PDF forms generated from other PDF programs, but they are fairly easy to work around.

Does not OCR as advertised.

Nothing to report. If it does not work for my intended purpose, it is as if it is a 10# rock around my neck. They need a place to search for specific error messages. This company only offers 30 days of help and then you get to BUY IT.

PROS

Has some more options than Nuance. Like the new feel.

CONS

I have been using Nuance Power PDF for years and am very disappointed in this new company that bought Nuance. This software continues to give and error that it is unable to convert a pdf to an ocr pdf. I have uninstalled , installed, turned off my firewall, allowed execution of the software through my virus protection, etc, etc, etc. to no avail. There were NO search matches for my error within their portal AND or Google. I would stay with the Nuance version. It is more stable and reliable. I am out of options on how to fix this error. BEYOND FRUSTRATING. I have tried to login and get support but there is no immediate assistance and I am forced to wait two days to just get access to another portal for help.

Reason for choosing Tungsten Power PDF

It is "Supposed" to have the "BEST" OCR engine.

Best for my small business

As I outlined above in "Pros", Power PDF was the solution to outputting the forms and reports I needed to provide to my customers.

PROS

I have been using this PDF software since before it was purchased by Kofax. I needed affordable PDF software for the creation and completion of forms used for inspections and for the conversion of reports created in other software to PDF format. Final reports, in PDF format, are then electronically sent to clients. The ability to "flatten" these forms and reports to preclude modification is an important feature.

CONS

Power PDF provides the solutions required for my business. The switch several years ago to the ribbon toolbar was a small learning curve but an improvement in the long run.

Reasons for switching to Tungsten Power PDF

I felt that Power PDF was as powerful as what I was using, was more cost effective and had a more intuitive interface.
