Create
Easily make PDF documents that are compact and easy to e-mail, are universally viewable, and print just as they would in the original application.

Okay, but why PDF Converter Professional 3?
Within the professional office environment there are two predominant documents types that people work with on their PC every day--Microsoft Word and PDF files. Microsoft Word is great for editing, but isn't always the best format for sharing documents, especially outside an organization. PDF files are best for sharing secure and reliable electronic information, but like paper, PDF files create productivity issues when people actually need to access, repurpose, or edit the content locked in those documents. Until now the options available to the business community were expensive, cumbersome and often did not address the specific needs of the office environment. Enter PDF Converter Professional, the simple, reliable and affordable way to solve these document productivity issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product - mostly. Bad company - maybe., October 1, 2005
By Always a Critic "apa" (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
Overall, this is a good product - with a few kinks. I agree with the one reviewer who commented on the lack of product support. The online PDF file just does not cut it. It tells you many things that the software can do but then fails to provide the "how to." Granted, it is a fairly simple program but the documentation is still lacking. The knowledge base is also less than adequate. As another reviewer mentioned, I also was unable to preserve links in any document conversion I tried - yes, I checked the document settings. When you go to the ScanSoft knowledge base and type in "link", you are presented with two solutions that simply do not work. I eventually found that the way to get the links to work - converting or printing from any source - was to 1) get the document converted over into PDF using PDF Converter Pro 2) manipulate and edit the document to your liking in PDF Converter Pro - they do have some get features here that blow Adobe away when you consider the price and the software footprint 3) save the document as PDF 4) then open the document up in Adobe Reader 7. Adobe Reader recognizes the links, PDF Converter Pro does not - this is a severe mistake on ScanSoft's part and you will not find this solution in their knowledge base (at least not at this time). For a while, I had PDF Converter Pro act as my default PDF reader, but then found it did not open links - went back to Adobe Reader - ScanSoft is now just an intermediary tool when they could have been a real challenge to Adobe. The two other things I don't like about ScanSoft is that 1) they charge $9.95 - which I refuse to pay - for technical support that should be included in a product manual 2) their registration procedure is not even disguised to look like they are actually taking in information for product affiliated reasons - it is a blatant market survey - and what is worse if you do try to register more than one product, they will ask you the same myriad questions each time. Other than that, it is a good product and does cut through a lot of the mess with document formatting and organization.

One last note - if you are going to upgrade - remove all previous versions first (along with the assistants) via add/remove programs, reboot, and then install - all windows apps need to be closed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why you should avoid this product, March 11, 2006
The advertising hype about this software sounds great. The truth is far less. Trying to convert PDF to Adobe there were so many errors, I could have typed it from scratch faster! Plus once it installs and takes over as your main PDF reader, WATCH OUT! Many pages won't load at all, others load much slower than with Adobe. Some just come up blank.

Deal around this waste of money and time!

1.0 out of 5 stars $9.95 just to REPORT a really bad bug?, March 7, 2006
By Bobby R. Treat "DrMajorBob" (Round Rock, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I get a Runtime Error from the MS C++ Runtime Library. At first it was on some files, now it happens on virtually EVERY file. I may have to get my money back from the credit card company.
