Nuance Power PDF Does More for Less Than Adobe

by | Jul 10, 2014 | Security

Adobe is a name most people trust. But it’s also a name most people rightfully associate with high costs. Adobe Acrobat Professional, which is pretty awesome, comes in over $400, which is a hefty price tag for some small firms. We wouldn’t recommend holding your breath and waiting for Adobe to come down in price. I think we all know that’s never going to happen. If the $400 price tag is doable for you, you might want to stick with Adobe. However, for those of you interested in a more affordable alternative, Nuance Power PDF Advanced comes in around $149. What will Power PDF do for you?

  • Provides commenting and editing tools
  • Allows you to use signatures
  • Converts PDFs into searchable PDFs
  • Exports PDF files to MS Office (Adobe doesn’t do this)
  • Allows you to create easy forms
  • Integrates with LexisNexis Casemap, Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, Office 365, and more
  • Allows you to add “sticky notes” to a PDF
  • Plus more…

As for navigating the tool, we suspect that if you’re familiar with Microsoft Office, you’ll have no trouble with Nuance’s Power PDF, because they’re really similar.

As CEO of Rekall Technologies, I’ve been helping small business owners simplify their technology since 2011. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how IT becomes frustrating, time-consuming, and a constant distraction from running a business. That experience is what drove me to build Rekall differently. I didn’t want clients adjusting their businesses to fit their IT—I built services that adapt to how real businesses actually operate. My philosophy is simple: technology should be secure, stable, and effectively invisible. When IT is done right, it stays out of the way and gives you the freedom to focus on your clients, your team, and growing your business with confidence.
