A WARNING exists! You might need to repair your PC hardware if you make changes to it
3/5

The third update has been rolled out On June 06, We had a problem with our XP machine at work. Before we could provide any kind of solutions, I uninstalled I installed PDF coverter pro 5 and it works great.

[per Nuance instructions]

I repaired Windows, and everything is running smoothly now. The following paragraphs are my responses A program called PDF converter pro has been installed and it is My copy of pdf converter pro 5 said I had activated it the maximum number of times when I went to activate it. This is lame. This is lame. This is lame. It's back to square one. It then offered me a button to buy the program? Is that right? My tests of Nitro PDF 6 have so far revealed it to be just as good, if not better, than Nuance PDF. I'll contact Nuance regarding the problem via fax (I can't seem to contact them any other way without PAYING for assistance). They'd be great if they were! It would not be a PITA to contact them since the $$#@*% product wasn't much of a thorn in their side). It is therefore not surprising that I reduced the rating for this product to only one The second update is as follows In '04-' The reinstallation of the XP operating system was broken by nuance trying to revalidate the license CONSTANTLY during reinstallation. This was the case when I tried to boot up my XP MCE 2005 Operating System. Reinstalling the OS is necessary because of a missing DLL file. It's a real pain that this PDF converter lost the ability to validate its license. It PREVENTED me from reinstalling XP even when I attempted the process of validating the license. Attempts to remove the pdf converter did not stop it from validating its license after two attempts. I even used a program called JVPOWERTOOLS 2009 to manually remove every registry entry for PDF Converter and Nuance Even after reinstalling Windows XP, the malware still intruded. It got so bad that I simply got a new hard drive, installed it, and then installed XP on the new one They then transferred user files and data afterwards.

Their validation procedure is an absolute pain in the neck. **I would be more than happy to It might even be (). This way, -Br>- The last update was posted on 11-Dec-2012 You should be aware of activation and subscriptions in 2009 Usage of the product is lost. This way, -Br>- Please pay attention to these instructions! A WARNING has been issued! Nuance does a lot differently than the rest of the industry when it comes to installation & setup The activation process. There is a couple who have You may need to reinstall your Windows operating system as a result of Windows problems and/or make hardware upgrades such as getting a new video card or hard drive, and PDF Converter 5 may cease to work. Several days ago, I encountered this problem with my installation. As close as that your program will work every day of the year. It was a real obstruction to my work when they stopped working on mine. *Hence, needless to say, if you have this software installed and wish to upgrade or make any changes to your PC's internal hardware, you MUST uninstall it first "BEFORE you make any changes". IMPORTANT NOTE Installing the "DE-" program and uninstalling it Your PDF Converter Pro 5 will be activated. In other words, you have "released" the license key and this doesn't count towards your "5 license activation" limit, before it quits As a computer technician, I do the repairs and upgrades of PC hardware for more than 40 During the course of this year, I have upgraded the motherboard on my work PC three times. *I have had my hard drive replaced twice. (one perk of being in charge of the helpdesk. ) (the last upgrade was to an Intel i7. lost my ability to boot Windows, so I upgraded my hard drive to a larger capacity.
I installed the new hard drive and reinstalled XP Pro. I noticed that it wanted to activate as soon as PDF Converter 5 Pro is loaded. Afterward, the program went online for a couple of seconds, but then an error message appeared saying I had exceeded my 5 activation allowances given by Nuance. It was detailed in the email I sent to Nuance. The news that I own four retail box copies of this software was mentioned earlier. Then, after back and forth with support, they were able to solve their problem The number on my license has been activated. Unfortunately, I could not make PDF files or about two days spent looking for the correct PDF file. *****How can this be prevented from happening in the future? **** If you are using PDF converter 5 on your PC, then ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS do a uninstall before changing anything on the PC. It is the internal components' serial numbers that are used for activation calculations as part of the activation process. Input your hard drive serial number (probably the number on your motherboard). When the serial number of a piece of hardware is changed due to a new one, the software Before the software is disabled, it may be activated for five times. In order to prevent the activation counter from decrementing one of the five activation allowances, you must UNinstall the software before attempting hardware upgrades. It is the sort of thing that should be listed on a neon colored CD case, inside the CD sleeve, or on the paper sleeve. The box it comes in may have the name of the product on it. The matter has been brought to Nuance's attention, but I doubt anything will be done. The unfortunate thing is that there are not a lot of options for combination software that combines the functions of PDF producer and PDF converter. There are some things you need to know 1. This Nuance pdf converter pro 5
2 is intended for home users. The Nitro online is in pdf format. 1. 2. 3. [PDF tools by solid documents]The Adobe pdf maker is pricey and can't convert any pdfs. There is only one option, which is to create PDFs. In addition to the other single function software converters, there are the following It is able to extract documents from Documents with ease, and it is able to convert PDFs with ease. Oh, and as far as product functionality goes, this software works well. In most cases, the conversion from PDF to Word is successful It has some nice images, but is crappy overall. I find that all PDF conversion applications behave this way (but I haven't tried it). This way, -Br>- Having just started using it, I have not yet experienced any performance issues. It is working fine for me to create a PDF. As far as converting an existing PDF to a Word document is concerned, it also seems to be working fine. Creating a new PDF from an existing PDF with a table inside As far as I can tell, the conversion into MS Excel is going well. A few annoyances/problems This is *br*br*br*br1.

2. The activation process This is *a*b. Nuance's lazy programmers (nice people at Nuance) have to MANUALLY intervene to make it work.

This is frustrating and time consuming If you wish to contact them, just click the button below We wanted to let them know about their website issue with a quick FYI. It seems like these pricks want to rip you off Sorry guys, I will not pay for you to fix your website issues. BRIEF DESCRIPTION The pros are As of now, the product seems to be functioning properly. This is an example of how to cite "
" The software is cheaper than Adobe software however, there are some cons. It is our hope that your relationship with NUANCE will not ever need to be interrupted. It would be more accurate to Plan to never get in contact with just suggest ways to improve their website without when you'll be taken to task A poor setup of the activation web page The following are examples of misleading/hidden cost details about tech support This is an example of how to cite "
" I've not seen any mention of software on the box *I bought this program by myself. *There was no mention of it inside the box, nor in the user guide. I was going to make recommendations to a large client about maybe switching to Nuance (from Adobe) after testing it for a while. The more I think about it, the more I doubt I am especially concerned about their "nickel & dime" policy They have a "dime-a-dozen" attitude toward their end Posted on 09-09-2009 The following is an update for 2008 As part of my experiment, I have converted a bunch of pdf's to Word documents, so I can use the data within. In general, the program is fairly fast until you reach 99% of the conversion process. A long time passes and it seems as though no one is done with it. I am at the heart of my organization- I found that this program has a difficult time handling any text found on the front cover of a book. There is a lot of mangled mess in the end. In terms of translation, the text pages are decent. However, I plan to have it run automatically You can format within Word in order to get things in order.

The following fields are not applicable to forms The item has been returned! It was the forms in this program that attracted me to it
3/5

This app has a great form typer, but if you send the form to anyone who has Adobe Acrobat Reader, they can only ENTER data, not save. I called Nuance Customer Support and they told me they can print each form out (that's a little high tech) They said that is correct, but it isn't 100% compatible with Adobe's Adobe Acrobat software. In the manual, there is nothing in depth and it is very short. There aren't that many improvements to the website or Program help. * Oh yes, of course. There is a $9 charge for email support. The cost per incident is only 95! There is ONE FREE phone call followed by $19 per month. The price I paid for it was much higher than I expected!.

You don't have to waste your money
3/5

I own the worst functioning software that I have ever used. The following are the things that make it a pain 1) You get one free telephone consultation with customer service. A ridiculous amount is charged for every subsequent call. 2) Internet Explorer crashes frequently, which is a major hindrance to finding information on the web. Despite buying a paid version, each document I created for the first few days had a watermark that said "TRIAL VERSION". As soon as I used my free customer service call and dug into the registry in five different locations for an hour to fix the problem, the problem eventually when I use the PDF converter on my laptop after it has gone into sleep mode and then when it has been woken up, the watermark appears It is possible to fix this problem by shutting it down and restarting it, but seriously, don't waste your money on it.

The PDF Professional Converter 5 is a powerful tool for creating PDF files
3/5

If you are running a fully updated Windows XP Professional system and you are using Internet Explorer 6 fully updated, this product would not function properly. You would be able to open it by clicking the Attempts had been made to open PDF files stored on my hard drive, but they would not open. Links from Outlook Express were used to access PDF files. The files would be accessed directly from Internet Explorer while they were internet resident files. The Adobe Reader 8 software for both Windows and Mac OS. It is a combination of 9 and X. The same * could be opened by X without a problem. A PDF file is a portable document format.

It took a lot of perseverance to return this product to its manufacturer, Nuance, without having to pay.

This product is a poor choice
3/5

PDF Converter causes Internet Explorer to crash when I navigate to a page that contains a PDF file. It also does not allow me to set Adobe as my default reader, so I have to use the free PDF Creator to edit these files. Editing-wise, it is not spectacular, but it is okay. They have not been able to make their form filling feature Also, I had difficulties inserting text with PDF Converter, the text is shown in the document, but it does not print when it is opened with Adobe. As an added bonus, Nuance offers a mobile app My PC recently became infected with a virus, so I cannot even sell the program now that I have removed it.

There is a good software and a terrible support service
3/5

It is very difficult to install or reinstall PDF Converter 5 from the company, Nuance, and they charge a hefty fee for service. Unfortunately, the installation and reinstallation problems and the poor customer support have led me to looking for another product to perform this task.

You need to prepare for disappointment
3/5

The price of this software was reduced to an affordable level, so I bought it. The software failed to recognize my printer on several jobs after it was first installed, and some conversions to PDF took forever. In the process of uninstalling it, it changed all of my printer drivers, so they all had to be reinstalled We've installed it. Having problems with Adobe's software, I'm going back to it. There is a free online converter you can use and they offer a PDF software that, although it is paid,.
