Spooler

Pros: Functionality - I can usually accomplish whatever I need to do

Cons: APIs are overly complicated. Frame of reference is always creating a new file. It would be nice if you could open an existing file, add or remove pages, then save as either the existing file or a new one. Instead, you have to loop through the set of pages in the exiting file and copy them to a new file. It is not very intuitive.

Overall: We have been successful in implementing batch and UI programs where we need to manage, modify and create PDF files.

Pros: The software is developed in an optimal technical sense but its ease of use allows even our business users to set it up and get value out of it. This lowers total cost of maintenance while optimizing realized value.

Cons: No cons identified by IT or the business.

Overall: This software has been a cornerstone in allowing our business to generate the documents to send out to our customers in an easy and efficient manner with minimal IT involvement.

Pros: The software works as expected to create PDF output for our legacy operational reporting system. We have had NO issues with stability and portability of the plug-in.

Cons: We have had to manage security for the plug in a somewhat unorthodox way on our legacy platform, but that has been more about our service that the app itself.

Overall: This has allowed us to quickly make the PDF export of reports available to our users and have appreciated the licensing and critical update support.

Pros: The functionalities of the API. So we can programming it to tailor to our business requirements.

Cons: The latest version of the webGrabber cannot reside in the same server with the other activePDF products, such as ActivePDF server and ActivePDF docConverter.

Overall: Great product. Still continue to improve, great technical support

Pros: This really helps us with workflows in which we can sort, manipulate incoming streams as needed. Also, calling this from within existing programs - it has expanded our post process / pre process abilities. We love it.

Cons: I wish this software had a way to reduce the size of documents we process through it.

Overall: Excellent!

Pros: We were able to quickly make it compatible with other packages we needed to build the solution

Cons: We were able to navigate through any issues we had so no real complaints. The sales staff, however, was intrusive with regard to how we were implementing, and also unclear on the pricing structure between test and production environments

Pros: CSS driven HTML to professional looking PDF generation, easy and quick.

Cons: Terms of use per organisation, it does not make sense.

Overall: Professional looking web pages to professional looking PDF generation, ready to share extract for clients.

Pros: Easy to use and the output is satisfied. No complaints.

Cons: If there is more fonts and layout control of the output, it will be even better.

Pros: We have use the product for years and continue to use it. I just works!

Cons: Can't say I have any issues. The software tool works well

Pros: Easy to use. Conforms nicely to object standards.

Cons: Price. It works great. My only issue is that it does a thousand things of which we only need three but we have to pay for the thousand.

Overall: We use Toolkit in a realtime web application to fill pre-defined pdf forms with database data, then flatten the form fields. This is very simple in Toolkit. It can do so much more that we will never use, but have to pay for. I wish they had a lite form filler version at a nicer price.

Pros: Webgrabber is very easy to use; offers a simple and intuitive API for .NET; comes with simple installation for any version of windows server and licensing is so much better as it is handled at server with unlimited conversion than some competing products who require license for each developer and/or pages converted.

Cons: The two engine model (IE Engine and Native Engine) can be a little confusing. Wish they had gotten rid of IE engine and brought in the Native Engine on par with IE Engine's capabilities.

Overall: We have been using ActivePDF Webgrabber for over 10 years in our classical ASP, .NET based applications and we are very happy with the software, its interfaces etc. This is a great vendor to work with in case of any support issues.

Pros: Conversion from html to pdf is very easy and accuracy of native engine is good.

Cons: Configuration Manager GUI is hard to use.

Pros: The set of API commands is very complete.

Cons: I can not find anything what dislikes me.

Overall: My client uses the Toolkit to join several PDF's files. My client's application generates a lot of PDF's documentation and they need to join all this documentation in one file. It is easy to use the API commands.

Pros: Ease of use and the ease of transfer of license is spectacular part of this product

Cons: The pricing is rather steep in my opinion for what it offers

Pros: The software is very stable,. It works quick and it has various options.

Cons: The price is a bit high and there seems not to be much development lately. On other hand, a good and solid product so why updates...

Pros: relatively easy to configure. You'll need a separate license for every server instance.

Cons: this software is a niche play necessary only for supporting legacy software running on older systems that lack built-in pdf printing functionality

Overall: The software does the job, if you truly need it. However, you should really engineer around the problem, if you can. The price is too high, and the never-ending spam from ActivePDF's salespeople really gets old

Pros: It makes it possible to take data from a web form and create a pdf exactly how you want it formatted.

Cons: there is somewhat of a learning curve when first setting up your form and the data fields

Pros: Relatively easy to install, decent documantation

Cons: Overlaps with a lot of other products, nothing exceptional to comment on.

Pros: WebGrabber is great for quick and easy converts.

Cons: I cannot think of anything that I don't like about WebGrabber.

Pros: meet people for same environmental, not just for same industry

Cons: to many spam received, i received email each time a person send a friend request

Overall: easy way to sign

Pros: This is a great product that does exactly what it advertises- compresses PDFs.

Cons: The program is prohibitively expensive after the free trail ends, and my company has stopped using it after the free trail due to this.
