This gives me PDF 1.5, passwords and other full-Acrobat features at a fraction of the price. I did read another review on its toolbar shortcuts in Outlook - PDF Create! and Adobe Acrobat have the identical behavior and limitation of Word is the editor for Outlook. Overall, I think the batch processing and merging of many documents into a single PDF as the best feature.

I work at a legal firm and we bought this product instead of Acrobat. The pricing was unbeleiveable. Why does Adobe charge so much for the same thing? Maybe because there was no competition. This reminds me of what happened we Lexus started making luxury cars - BMW and Mercedes were forced to take notice. Isn't being a consumer in this kind of market great?

I used scansoft and found a lot of it's features intrusive and troubling. Given the price, I was expecting a much better performance. I've gone to places like freepdf.saucylabs.com and found the freeware there actually worked much better, especially for just outputting word and quickbooks stuff into a PDF.

I have other issues with Scansoft, but in a nutshell, I'd say buyer beware or ask a friend who uses it.

One of the common uses for a pdf conversion program is to save snapshots of web pages (for archiving, etc.). However, Create 2.0 does a HORRIBLE job of converting webpages to pdf format - a lot of graphical information is lost. Just try creating a snapshot of yahoo.com - you will end up with something noticably different from what you would see in a browser. For "website to pdf" conversion, use one of many free online services such as at http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/pdf-o-matic.php. If Scansoft Create can't even handle web page converson, which is pretty simple, I'm not too hopeful that it will do a good job with other formats.
