Power PDF Standard 2.0 (Old Version)

I have found this to be a powerful, reasonably easy to use, attractively priced program that I have found quite There is not much difference between this new product and PDF Professional 7. It unfortunately uses the same kind of unfriendly activation scheme. The cost of this product is tied to the proactive management of activation issues. The EULA specifies a limited amount of activations, which is fine, however the fact that activation is so tightly tied through a "fingerprint" of your system is less than acceptable. For example, if you change any part of the hardware for any reason, this changes the fingerprint used to validate your installation, which means you will be charged an activation fee when you run the program again UNLESS you UNINSTALL the program first before making any changes to the The next time you try to run the program after you've made the necessary changes to your hardware and reinstalled the program, you'll be prompted to activate the program, with the activation not counting As a result of a crash before you have a chance to uninstall the program, and you swap some hardware during the recovery process, you'll have to activate it again when you run the program for the first time, and the activation will deduct from your lifetime license. The story does not end here. As a result of some Windows 10 updates, Nuance sees your machine's fingerprint as altered. Therefore, you will be asked to activate this program when you run it the next time. Activating this feature will cost you up to the maximum you have set for your lifetime. As a result of the changes to your fingerprint, you are required to activate in order to use the system. For casual users, you may consider uninstalling the program after each use, so as to protect your fingerprint from an unplanned change caused by an upgrade to Window 10 Whenever you are a regular user, take note that you may need to buy more copies of the program from time to time, which makes the product less competitive with alternatives.

It was years ago that I thought PDFs were Adobe documents. There is no such thing anymore! Additionally, I will never trust "Cloud" because it is the new "emperor's new clothes" of the tech world. It is important to me that my computer/software does not rely on Internet connectivity. PDF Standard by Nuance gives me what Adobe (Adobe Acrobat Professional) used to cost too much. Moreover, I can get it as a standalone app that does not are dependent on the cloud. If word of this spreads, I wouldn't be surprised if Adobe loses market share to companies like SAP who have more functions for a lower price. I saw neither a cloud nor a raindrop.

The product repurchase was a no-brainer for me since it had been "improved" and "upgraded. " My computer changed and I was not able to locate the original disc. Now, I could hardly wait to use it and see how it had improved On top of that, I needed to convert and sign a lot of PDFs. I can only imagine how unpleasant this surprise was. There were too many elaborations in this version, and it wasn't clear The program was intuitive (despite the fact that I’d already familiarity with it from earlier versions) and simple to use I would like to emphasize one thing in particular It created a horrible Word file from a simple PDF all of the formatting was off and the OCR errors were not fixed. The quality of a product may not be good, but I cannot fathom how it may degrade As far as the old product is concerned, I would have been in favor of it The use of this 2 is discouraged. I am equally passionate about each product. Nuance, you are in the wrong.

Unfortunately, I never found the front end for the software, so I never got to use it. After several attempts, the registration page proved to be "unavailable" and the registration could not be completed. My system could not be completely uninstalled because the software left some pieces on my system that could not be removed. Using Windows 10 as a time waster is a significant undertaking.

Since at least version 6, I have been using Nuance PDF products on the job. In the past, it has been very popular in Adobe's management and users as a cost effective alternative to Adobe's more expensive It's most popular with my users for its ability to "break" PDF documents and place them into an Excel spreadsheet or Word document, so they can make The older versions of Adobe Reader were a little slow to open, so I had most users use Adobe Reader as their Fast and reliable are the words that describe Adobe. The newer version of Power PDF Standard 2 is installed on my computer. I have been using my notebook for 0 days now, so I haven't been able to really judge its In case any designers are reading this, let me add this very specific suggestion to your consideration You should create something if you are looking for inspiration. If you want to extract old PDF drawings as TIFFs, you should buy the Nuance Power PDF Advanced. Most of my guys were using Nitro Pro, but the upgrade didn't work for them. It was created from a tiff file. Raster CAD could not do anything with pdf files because of the low resolution. Now that I downloaded the Advanced version of NitroPro, all my customers want it However, someone else may be looking for a solution like we were, so maybe they're looking for the same solution as us.
