    Well-suited for a single SAP landscape. less well-suited for businesses with a more diverse landscape, or complex/non-standard reporting or e-invoicing needs.

    For annotating and preparing bookmarked work papers, stamping and commenting, marking up and redacting, Power PDF is the best I've used. It is faster than Acrobat Pro, and it's a one-time payment (last I checked). It is also really good at combining PDF pages via its creation assistant. I frequently use the program to draft individual tax workpapers and can easily create a bookmarked PDF by naming each file the way I want the bookmark to appear. It is less good at form filling - it can do it, but I find its automatic detection of fields and general usability of the feature to be one of the weak points.

    Pros
    SAP
    • Manages document compliance in a number of regional locations.
    • Fairly straightforward to configure.
    • Short implementation timeline - supports urgent governance compliance requirements.

    • 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.

    Cons
    SAP
    • Level of detail for reporting between what the statuatory body expects vs what SAP Document and Reporting Compliance provides is different
    • Reliance to integrate through other third party vendors

    • Filling in your own signature in PDF Forms is hard to understand and needs more features (such as uploading your own signature as a PNG, etc.).
    • Creating your own formula and understanding field names, logic, values, etc., is quite hard; it is NOT intuitive at all. Needs to be improved!

    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.

    I found it easy to learn and observe that my colleagues also pick it up quickly when they get a license. I've been somewhat involved in training users on the various features, and I find that it's very intuitive compared to some of the other software that my organization uses.

    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

    Support at times is slow in finding the right component or processor but once you get the right person you can get help pretty quickly with resolutions. Support will not be there for any customization you may have done/had to do on the product.

    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.

    Implementation for reporting in general is quite straightforward. Implementation for e-invoicing definitely for new territories is more difficult especially in cases of integration required.

    It was simple and we were using the program the same day. It was as easy as downloading the program and getting in there and playing around. We felt comfortable with it within the first few hours of use.

    Coverage is similar: integration for e-invoicing is simpler for DRC, Edicom, and Pagero, which more fully manage tax authority integration, which is vital for ongoing compliance.

    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.
