4.0 out of 5 stars
Easy to use; annoying toolbars
The software is straightforward and easy to use from within almost any software. Just choose it when you print and you're all set. It's less awkward than some of the other PDF converters I've used, and can even handle some documents that seem to baffle Adobe Acrobat. A friend at work has Acrobat 6.0. When she runs into a problem making PDFs, she...

How bad is it....
I buy all kinds of software and I never, never... well hardly ever throw away software even after several years and then I usually donate it to the Friends of the Library bookstore before I throw things away. I threw this away within two weeks of installing it. 1) Surprise! In teeny, tiny small print on the package you will see that you are strongly encourage...

This review is from: Scansoft PDF Converter 3.0 (CD-ROM)
The software is straightforward and easy to use from within almost any software. Just choose it when you print and you're all set.
It's less awkward than some of the other PDF converters I've used, and can even handle some documents that seem to baffle Adobe Acrobat. A friend at work has Acrobat 6.0. When she runs into a problem making PDFs, she sends the file to me and I handle it quickly and easily. I took away a star because I find the PDFC3.0 toolbars, installed in most of my software, annoying.

1) Surprise! In teeny, tiny small print on the package you will see that you are strongly encourage activate your software. While I don't think you *have* to activate it, it does annoy you. 2) Surprise, again! In activating the software, the e-mail address field is case-sensitive - the ONLY situation I have seen this problem AND the error message didn't tell me this, the error message was "invalid domain". I just tried it and it worked. 3) Now, that I've got you.... Questions, questions, questions.... How many friggin questions can a software company ask in signing up for software??? Scansoft... oh... I'm sorry NU-ANCE asked me how much I made, where I lived, who lived there, how old they were, how long had I lived there, what I did... etc. etc. Like I am going to tell you all that stuff for a piece of crappy $40 software... I don't think so! 4) You change your name from ScanSoft to Nuance... a name more appropriate for a perfume. 5) All the other stuff would be ok if the software were superlative... ok... good... ok... passable... wasn't crap... I used the same file with Acrobat Professional 6 and with PDF Convertor. Acrobat Professional got over 90% of the words, PDF Convertor was lucky to 60%. Go get Acrobat Professional 6 on eBAY and you will be happy. PDF Converter isn't worth the effort to throw it away. A complete waste of money and time. |
