Pros and Cons

Document sorting in packages.

Having worked with Adobe Acrobat in my earlier corporate career I enjoyed the feature set of that product. I wanted a similar level of utility for my retirement business but at a more acceptable cost.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

Not as sophisticated but a very acceptable compromise given the cost advantages.

Support Rating

Documentation is not as comprehensive as Adobe. Past requests for support from Nuance were not responded to positively and were not resolved.
