Overall Satisfaction with Tungsten Power PDF

Our business typically works with large PDF documents where only a small portion pertains to our operations. Frequently we use Tungsten Power PDF to extract relevant pages or sections and allow us to work with more manageable documents. Additionally, we typically use Tungsten Power PDF to convert PDF data into Excel spreadsheets for easier sharing and collaboration or to combine documents where sending multiple files isn't an option.

Pros

  • Extract pages to new file.
  • Search function can identify words and phrases in a document.
  • Edit text and typewriter function allows for making any PDF 'fillable'.
  • Combining documents allows to physically print and sign a signature page of a document and insert it into the digital copy.

Cons

  • Sometimes the search function doesn't always pick up text on a page. It can turn back "no results" from time to time when searching for words that are clearly on-display in my screen.
  • At times, the program becomes finicky and will only open a PDF if the program has been closed down or else it returns an error.
  • I've noticed from time-to-time if a file is open in Tungsten Power PDF for an extended time and I go back to it, much of the content has disappeared causing me to have to close the program and reopen.
  • Saves hours from having to create Excel file or Word document from PDF.
  • Easily extract scope of work from our PDF quotes and turn them into work orders for our technicians.
  • Huge savings from avoiding printing 100+ page documents to get a form physically signed and then having to scan it back to electronic format. This is now done by printing one page, scanning it and combining it back into the electronic document.
Very easy to use and user-intuitive. I was able to pick-up on my most-used and most-valuable features easily without any need for training.
I don't have a ton of experience with Adobe PDF editors. I became a user of Tungsten based on a recommendation from a co-worker and have not had a want to change to anything else.
