Pros
This is a quality product, well-thought out and well-executed. I especially recommend it to educators, as they have great education pricing options for both individuals, students, and institutions.
The software is reasonably priced and provides efficient and reasonable functions. I can easily edit PDF files which is a great benefit.
Cons
Product has all kinds of glitches and there is no one to talk to to get them fixed. Stay away is my recommendation.
Conversion to MS Word does not work well. Even if you have run OCR on the document before converting, it sometimes inserts entire pages as images instead of editable text.
"Horrible experience"
Overall: Horrible customer service. Product has all kinds of glitches and there is no one to talk to to get them fixed. Stay away is my recommendation.
Pros: I bought the pro version and it worked fine for a wile.
Cons: After a minor updated it stopped working.
"Usable but not great"
Overall: I think it's worth the money for users with occasional needs. I probably wouldn't recommend it for heavy duty users with extensive document management needs.
Pros: The software has a very friendly user interface and it is easy to get up to speed pretty quickly if you have never seen the software before. And it has most of the essential tools you would find in pricier alternatives like Acrobat. Also, doesn't require an annual subscription.
Cons: Conversion to MS Word does not work well. Even if you have run OCR on the document before converting, it sometimes inserts entire pages as images instead of editable text.
