  • Cost savings.
  • Allows me to work more efficiently in my job.
  • Assist our regulatory team in unlocking/opening secured documents for the most part.
  • Doesn't seem to cause as many conflicts as an add-in to Outlook, compared to Adobe.
  • Editing most text is a breeze!

  • Productivity is so high that I could not work without it. Of course, I could go to competition, but with a dent in my current productivity.
  • Power PDF includes some limited OCR version, which is a big plus, especially for not so complex OCR tasks. It saves you money by not buying a full OCR.
  • Power PDF integration with the proprietary scanner driver software makes a seamless transition as you don't need to be retrained on the scan procedure.

  • Cost savings due to it being a one time payment and not a recurring monthly payment.
  • Their support still helps even if you purchased the product a long time ago with a one time payment, which is not the same for every company.
  • They help transfer the local license from one pc to another, their support, which helps the process and also saving money so you do not need to buy it again.

  • PDF documents are the primary file type for documents which need to be shared, particularly if the content requires security measures such as password protection/encryption or e-signatures This promotes efficient and economic operations. Similarly, the use of PDF documents and forms greatly reduces the use of paper documents which further enhances cost and time efficiencies.

  • It certainly is a cost effective product. Some users experience in complexity in user interface as compared to other pdf products which take some time for users to fully understand the application.
