5.0 out of 5 stars Appears to work very well, November 29, 2009

By 

Optimist (Kansas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PDF Create 6.0 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I bought this on sale, and then read reviews. Although I was almost afraid to install it, I am glad I did.

So far, I have done just a few test cases, but everything appears to work flawlessly.

Installation was very easy and fast. Even the dreaded registration was no problem at all. It just got my PC fingerprint and after I gave it my permission, immediately registered it. Didn't have to fill out lots of info or anything.

Older reviews (of the Create 5 product) complained about web pages not looking perfect. Heck, they never look perfect from Internet Explorer or Firefox "preview print" and Adobe PDF print driver either. I tried a quick PDFing of a cnn web page (one I've had problems with before using print under Adobe at work) and it looks good. Perhaps even better than what Adobe did with the site. So it passed that quick test.

Next, I tried PDFing from Microsoft Word 2007. The Nuance PDF menu it hooked in was easy to find at the top just to the right of the View menu. One selection and a file name later and I had a flawless PDF (I compared it with the Word file for page breaks, quality, etc. Looks fine to me.

Finally I tried putting some jpg photos into the PDF Create Assistant program that I invoked from my desktop. That too worked flawlessly and the pictues nicely sized to one page each. I tried both the single-file-per-pic and the combine into single file options and both worked great. And I see no indication that there is any pesky memory-resident thing lying around as some Create-5 reviews suggested. It shut down like any other program after I finished using it.

Oh - yes - and did I mention, I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit. The package said it works with Vista and Vista64, so I figured there was a good chance Windows 7 would work too (Microsoft based it on Vista app interface to make that transition easy...) Sure enough, it is working fine, even though the package didn't say it supported Windows 7.

Perhaps I will find a problem down the road, but for now I am exceedingly happy I gave this a try.


Oh - one more thing: I looked up the Nuance company and they are far from being a low-budget operation. They are the makers of Paperport and other professional software and my experience with this product matches my expectations for a good company. And no, I don't work for them or have any relationship with them at all ... :-)

I am not computer savvy but needed to convert documents and powerpoint presentations to PDF formats prior to a national presentation. The software performed well and was easy to use.

Performs as stated by te manufacturer, no problems installing or running. I purchased this to replace the "Save as PDF" feature from Microsoft, which quit working and there is no support to speak of. I use it both ways, directly from within Office programs, and as a stand-alone utility to create PDF files from several files.
