Our company made the switch over from Adobe which was getting more difficult to use and they dropped any all support for their product. ApowerPDF is a almost a mirror of Adobe but I feel it more user friendly.

Pros

Ease of use, converting documents , easy use task bar and able to create new documents with ease.

Cons

Making the Edit option a little easier to use, more format choices.

apowerPDF ist praktisch, Leistungsstark, leicht verständlich bedienbar, das Aussehen ist gut und das Preisleistungsverhältnis sehr angemessen.

Pros

Das Produkt ist allem voran sehr intuitiv zu bedienen und daher sofort verständlich und benutzerfreundlich. Einige wenige, aber doch sehr effektive Bearbeitungsleisten führen Dich zur Bearbeitung von PDFs. Du musst nicht lange suchen, bevor Du die Arbeit erledigen kannst, die Du zur Bearbeitung benötigst. Schnell ist man involviert in die Bearbeitungsleisten, da es wenige Schritte sind, bleibt es auch schnell hängen im Bewusstsein. Sehr praktisch.. Hier nochmal vielen herzlichen Dank an die Entwickler dieses Magic apowerPDF.

Cons

Bis jetzt gar keine Nachteile...Bis jetzt gar keine Nachteile...

Nicht intuitiv zu bedienen und zahllose Bearbeitungsleisten, in dessen Bearbeitung viel Zeit einfliessen muss, bevor man damit überhaupt arbeiten kann...

Reasons for choosing LightPDF

Zahllose PDF-Programme sind im Gesamtbild/im Design/generelles Aussehen in der Farbe in Rot gehalten, warum auch immer. Ich suchte und recherchierte wahrhaftig ziemlich lange, bis ich genau die Software fand, die mein inneres Bild wiederspiegelt in meiner Arbeitswelt. Die Farben spielen in der (Seelen-) Welt des Menschen eine entscheidende Rolle. Die Farbe Rot ist weltweit als eine Farbe der Warnung (indirekt der Angst!) irgendwelcher Art. Und die Farbe Blau ist die Farbe der Freiheit, sowie bei apowerPDF.. Super war auch, eine lebenslange Lizenz für eine erschwingliche Summe kaufen zu können..

He tirado el dinero con este programa.

Pros

Muy poco me ha gustado. Quizá algo la presentación. Los colores, el tipo de letra y la disposición, nada mas.

Cons

Se bloquea constantemente ó se apaga sin previo aviso. Las imágenes y los textos que incorporo no se pueden desplazar con el cursor del teclado. Tampoco tiene una forma sencilla de agrandar o empequeñecer la página. Hay que pulsar Control+M y poner un valor. Ocupa mucho tiempo.
