One of the things that I have noticed the most is that it saves a lot of time when working with documents of different formats that need to be converted to PDF. Scanning documents is also one of the best features of this app. Being able to have the history of modifications, and changes in the documents is very important for any sector, as well as the signing of documents online. The issue of authentication every time you need to use it can sometimes cause inconvenience, but then you forget when you have a robust and comfortable tool to work with. I do not recommend this application if the company has different versions of operating systems. It is not the most recommended application.

Great for content management and records even for organizations whose staff are not much experienced in the technical backgrounds as it's easy to use and no previous knowledge on HTML is required. It is great for storing invoices and payment proofs and for organizations dealing with global clients for general use documents.

Tungsten Power PDF has been very helpful when needing to perform quality control on scanned documents. It has allowed me to check if the quality of the document is up to records management standards and make minor edits to fix small errors. It has also been helpful removing specific names from documents for privacy reasons. I have found it to be less helpful when dealing with primarily image-based PDFs, as there is limited image-editing capabilities.

First of all, I really like how the synchronization feature works - it's very convenient to switch between devices (one more advantage of the app - it has a nice mobile version) and still have all the documents right there in the, synced and ready to go.
Besides, the software provides users not only with annotating features that allow you to highlight and add information, but also allows you to sign documents on the go, without having a necessity to print them, so you don't actually even need an e-signature app.
Another thing I like is how easy it is to use right away, at least the majority of the tools, anyway.
Document Management is being done well since it allows you to put in a corporate folder structure that applies to the business unit you currently work in.
Records Management works well in this organisation as it allows you to classify the document according to the file plan, as well as manage it according to the retention schedule for tat file plan.
The ability to collaborate on files works really well. You can share with users within your group, as well as allow other users access to the files for either read access to read/write access.
Access control of the folder and even individual files allows you to ensure only necessary people can have the right type of access. This is especially welcome in the government environment where document management is of utmost importance.

No bloatware or unnecessary features, obnoxious update requests, or really anything that would stop you from doing what you need to do - read/edit a PDF. This is the major advantage over many competitors.
Opens fast, with intuitive navigation and features; great for reading and annotating PDFs. Exporting and rearranging pages is also very smooth.
Signing is a little unintuitive, but I believe it is reasonably done here.
The PDF is not a file type that is intended to be directly edited. Thus, all PDF editors are clunky. This is no different, but simple tasks like adding text on top of the document, adding comments, or highlighting are relatively smooth.

Well, there are a few downsides, I guess, but not very significant ones. Firstly, because of the large amount of features the interface doesn't look as simple as I wish it did - it's a bit overcrowded.
Secondly, because of the first issue that I've mentioned, adjusting to the software takes longer than it could if the interface was simpler. For me personally, it wasn't a big issue, but for those who don't get accustomed to unfamiliar tools easily it could be a problem.
Finally, there is one more problem that is actually not significant at all, but when you want to load a document from the Cloud or open the task manager, the app will open a new window for those tools every time - it can be a bit confusing because of so many windows being opened at once.

Tungsten Power PDF is easy to use, the staff all like it, and there are no issues with it on any level. It is a more cost-effective solution to our PDF needs than other products currently available on the market. This product works as intended and it fits our business needs perfectly.

It is fast and easy to get the hang of. It really didn't take a lot of effort to learn how to use this program and I appreciated that it was pretty "plug and play" and there wasn't a long learning curve.

Other that a PDF partially disappearing if left up for a long period of time - no issues. (If you close it and reopen it, it is all there. We have some PDFs that are 400-600 pages long.)

Pages nearly always load at the expected rapid speed. Some documents that print quickly from Adobe Reader print much more slowly from Power PDF. I have never generated a report - that's a feature I didn't know existed until now and do not know what it's for

I have contacted support a total of three times; once for installation support, twice for software support. I received contact back on my requests within four hours each time. Support was professional and supportive and quickly answered my questions/resolved my issues. I also emailed support a separate time to suggest software upgrades and receive a personal response within 24 hours. Very appreciative.

I got an overview of the product from my predecessor who was about to retire from the job I now hold. He did not go into very many of the features and probably only knew about the ones he used most frequently.

We watched the training videos and tested out the features and functionality side by side. Some features are not used on a regular basis is it is convenient to go back and review training on that particular functionality when needed.

Having used OpenText Content Suite for a long time, I can say it stands the competition. It offers many versions which is unlike many products in its category. Also, while it is not affordable, I believe the cost is justified considering what a business can achieve with this software.

In my opinion, there is no comparison. Tungsten Power PDF is by far so much better than AA. And for the cost? Tungsten Power PDF is a one time charge, AA charges monthly and is much more costly! I always recommend Tungsten Power PDF!

Not really familiar since I'm the only person who uses it. But in the past it has been my understanding that Power PDF was offered only on a single-license basis, so it's been expensive for me to use it at home and at work because I had to pay for it on my own. In my current position management supports it so I at least only have to pay for it once.

I save hundreds every month by not sending documents to outside editors.
On a monthly basis, I have received files that would be very limited in use, but the PDF software allows me to work with them, saving hours of human power otherwise wasted.
The software is worth the money, but it can be more competitively priced.
