Excellent So Far! (Although buying this felt like a gamble based on other reviews. Read on!)
Power PDF Advanced ver 2.1I will start by saying that reading some of these reviews and the various installation and activation problems people have encountered made me hesitant to purchase this. For the price, and considering the alternatives, it seemed that a problem-free installation of the software would be too good to be true. Well, at this point, I am happy to report that (so far) the Power PDF Advanced software has exceeded my expectations!I would like to offer a few pointers that will hopefully give you some confidence in your purchase and maybe avoid an early call to tech support (which so far I have not required):* Note that I have successfully completed a single installation of the Power PDF Advanced (Ver 2.1) software on an i5 machine manufactured in 2018 with Windows 10 Pro as the OS.* The Power PDF Advanced software arrived in slim packaging (no retail box) as shown in my attached photo.* The serial number was on the sticker sealing the disc sleeve.* Inserted the disc. Browsed to its location using file manager. Double clicked on the drive to begin the installation process.* When prompted, you will need to (very) carefully enter the serial number. I emphasize carefully, because the first time I entered the characters, human error caused me to enter two numbers where I should have entered a letter followed by a number (as a made-up example, say 87 instead of 8Z). It startled me when it initially said the code was invalid, but on my second attempt it worked.* Once installed, you will want to restart your machine (it did not prompt me to do this; however, as a result of not restarting, I could not print to a PDF correctly the first time I tried to create one; the process was perfect after the restart)* Following your restart , follow the instructions to activate registration.I have only been using the program for a short time, but having experience with Adobe, using Power PDF for my purposes is a breeze. I have large reports in which I need to insert/manipulate smaller PDFs such as pictures and exhibits. Within the program, I can accomplish this using the shortcut keys I am used to, or I can bring up a Document Assembly interface within Power PDF Advanced. They both work, and the latter is truly everything I had hoped it would be so far. I'm really liking the intuitive drag and drop thumbnails method compared to the shortcut keys.So far, other than the minor missteps in my installation that I noted above, the only quirk of significance is that the Document Assembly would not display the text correctly in an older PDF I had on my machine that was previously exported from (third party software) FileMaker Pro using Acrobat. Although the program had an issue displaying (and printing a hardcopy of) the text within Power PDF, the exported file containing the same PDF was fine when I opened it in the standard Windows 10 reader (so basically a non-issue). Note that there were none of the aforementioned problems with my old PDFs of Word and Excel documents. Importantly, when I recreated a new PDF of the same FileMaker Pro exhibit, but this time using Power PDF to create my PDF, the result was perfect. I am happy to report that the newly created PDF displayed and printed correctly within the Power PDF viewer/editor.Overall, the software has made an excellent impression so far. It is perfect for how I intend to use it, and I highly recommend it!
