### "Starke Alternative"

March 6, 2023

5.0

Pros

Einfach und intuitiv zu bedienen, sieht man sofort die Qualität der Software als definitive Alternative zum Quasi-Standard.

Cons

Das ist eine sehr subjektive Einschätzung, aber es ist am Anfang ungewohnt, eine neue Software in den Prozess einzubinden, wenn man bisher das gesamte Paket der Creative Cloud nutzt.

### "Nuance is a great way to neatly add notes to a document, without it looking doctored."

May 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

I can easily add information to my invoices. Some customers require more data than others and this is an easy way to be compliant.

Cons

I have no complaints. I only use the Typewriter function at this time. I find this software is easier to use than Adobe.

### "Does everything you wish Acrobat did"

November 29, 2018

5.0

PDF formatting and edition has never been easier.

Pros

This was our first option after our Adobe licenses ran out, we needed something that was more powerful than Acrobat but with more flexibility. Nuance was it.

Cons

The UI feels kind of cheap but you get used to it.

### "Excellent alternative to Adobe"

August 15, 2017

5.0

A strong and reliable PDF viewer and editor.

Pros

The feel and logic in this software is very easy to use. Nuance Power PDF also does not have that same propriety feel and hassle that I find with Adobe.This software is very user friendly and has all the features that I require located in spots that make sense from a user's perspective (with the exception of some of the editing functions). I really like this software in managing my PDF documents.

Cons

The conversion to word from a PDF is not as good as the previous software that I used (Omnidox platform). My only other criticism has to do with the manipulation of PDF documents. It took me a while to figure out how to do it and involved what I perceived as an extra step to really go from a viewer to an editor type format of the PDF. Once I figured out the steps, it worked well.

### "Advanced PDF Tool"

January 6, 2023

4.0

Overall it provides powerful functionality with all the features of text editing, redacting, combining, digital signatures, etc. Definitely made my work life easier, you just have to price compare and determine what your needs are. It is a solid competitor.

Pros

While it has all the features of most competitors, I appreciated that the optical character recognition was more accurate and smooth compared to other editors I have used.

Cons

I find this software a bit pricey compared to other market alternatives. It was also slightly challenging to find certain features at times.

### "This is a right choice when you need to work with PDF files"

December 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

You can create PDFs You can convert to and from several formats Sign and collaborate with others is also possible with the Advanced version. The best thing is when more people can work on the same document on the network. Automatic PDF generation using a watch folder. Just copy the files and you get a PDF version.

Cons

Maybe the price is higher a little bit than concurrent products.

### "Works like adobe acrobat dc"

November 2, 2018

4.0

Pros

Has the same functionality as adobe acrobat dc, where you can edit the formatting of a converted pdf document. Easy to use.

Cons

That it doesn’t have the ability to do more modifications to a document. Unable to link references within the document which is what I need to do for most of my documents.

Hi Ana-Liza, Thank you for the review and feedback! If you're trying to create links/bookmarks to specific locations within your PDF documents, you can do so with the Bookmark feature which is found on the left sidebar menu (the icon is a page with a ribbon/bookmark on it). After you've created your bookmarks, you can also choose to create a Table of Contents page from them.

### "Excellent PDF software. "

August 12, 2019

5.0

Pros

It is easier to use than other PDF programs. The commands are on ribbons and looks more familiar (rather like Microsoft Office programs) so users seem to become comfortable with the software sooner.

Cons

It is not that easy to move a license from one computer to another - for instance when an end user's computer is replaced.

### "The best way to quickly edit a PDF"

January 7, 2021

4.0

An excellent time-saving solution.

Pros

I like the way that you can easily open a PDF and edit the contents, or you can convert it into another file format, such as .doc or .xls.

Cons

When you are trying to edit an object the text can jump around, but this is a minor annoyance which can be easily rectified.

### "Good affordable pdf reader and editor"

June 26, 2018

4.0

As I mentioned this software is really affordable, it might not be the cheapest option but compared to adobe the difference is huge. It works amazing for conversions and pdf editing.

Pros

Nuance Power PDF is a great, affordable PDF reader and editor, it comes with a large array of tools to help you editing such as splitting, merging, rotating and converting.

Cons

When printing large files, especially plans designs I have found that this software messes up the scales I end up struggling to print my models accurately.

### "Nuance Power PDF Advanced was not as great as I thought it would be"

November 19, 2018

3.0

I wouldn't really recommend it unless you get a crash course for this software program, it needed more instructions that were self explanatory.

Pros

What I liked about this software is the ability to actually change the pdf after its been sent

Cons

What I liked least is the difficulty to use, we purchased this and ended up going back to our regular Adobe software.

Hello Bre, sorry to hear that you experienced trouble getting to know the capabilities in Power PDF. In case you or others at your company are re-considering Power PDF Advanced, we have a video training series on our Nuance YouTube channel that shows tasks in Acrobat and how they're done in Power PDF. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKz6kLaiM7-JACIY\_WWdyfRQ9d6Alke59

### "A Viable Alternative to Adobe"

December 5, 2019

5.0

I use Nuance for most of my PDF needs. One way I use it is to assist clients in filling out Asset Ownership Change Forms and Beneficiary Change Request Forms.

Pros

Nuance has so many features - I am still learning how to use them all. It is also an affordable alternative to Adobe.

Cons

Nuance is not as user friendly as Adobe, but I am still learning the software. Additionally, I wish my ScanSnap would recognize Nuance when I am scanning in documents.
