Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
PDF Converter Professional 7 is the smarter PDF choice for PC users. Combining powerful functionality, built-in intelligence, superior Microsoft Office support and ease of use, it provides everything you need to create, convert, edit, assemble and securely share PDF files for improved productivity and collaboration. This is our smartest PDF solution ever. It includes all the features you expect and some hot new functionality you won’t find anywhere else. Here’s more about what you get:
• Smarter PDF Creation. Like other more expensive solutions, this allows you to create high-quality, compact PDF files from any PC application or scanner. Toolbar shortcuts for Microsoft Office allow you to make a PDF copy of your documents with a single click. The PDF Create Assistant allows you to easily convert multiple files into a single PDF, create PDF packages and more, with drag-and-drop simplicity. PDF Portfolios allow you to place multiple files, even folders, within a single PDF file in order to more effectively organise, share and secure document groups. Powerful stuff made easy.
• Smarter PDF Conversion. We’ve introduced a 21% increase in Excel layout accuracy plus multi-page PDF output to a single worksheet. It supports the new Office 2010 and even lets you automatically convert a scanned or image-only PDF file into a Searchable PDF. Plus, you can convert any page area in any PDF without having to process the whole page. There’s also an easy-to-use batch Converter Assistant so you can convert multiple documents at once. That’s smart.
• Smarter PDF Editing. PDF wasn’t designed with editing in mind. But with this you get all the PDF editing you need. You can select, move, re-size, rotate, copy and paste nearly anything in a PDF document, copy graphics to other applications and edit text in-place. You can even assemble and reorder PDF documents as easily as shuffling paper on your desk – now with previews to ensure you’ve got the file you want and to choose which pages you’d like to add to your PDF file. It’s smarter PDF editing for less!
• Smarter PDF Collaboration. This release features a comprehensive array of mark-up and commenting tools for all your collaboration needs. Highlight, cross-out or underline text – now automatically. Add pop-up comments or stamps. Compare two versions of a PDF document side-by-side. Compare a PDF document with its Word counterpart. Merge comments from multiple reviewers into one integrated PDF document. Print with Comments to make for easier review. Simply stated, PDF Converter Professional 7 makes collaboration smarter.
• Smarter PDF Security. These days, document security isn’t just important, it’s imperative. This gives you the power to securely control PDF content with the highest available level of security: 256-bit encryption. The Inspect Document feature enables you to completely remove sensitive information like comments, document properties and more. Now you can make PDF annotation and layers fixed and permanent even with password protection or extends customised permission control down to PDF layers. Safe. Smart.
• Smarter PDF Searching. Easily search across all elements of a PDF file, including bookmarks, comments, footnotes and more. The new “Looks Like” Search even finds information based upon a distinct pattern found in number or text sequences like telephone numbers, dates or email addresses.
• And Much, Much More. We’ve also made sure we included all the advanced features you need in a complete PDF solution, including integrated spell checking, document splitting, automatic table of contents creation, support for Windows 7 and Office 2010, plus for Firefox and Chrome – you get the idea.

PDF Converter Professional 7.0 is one of several otherwise excellent software packages from Nuance that are let down by the company's draconian approach to software theft.
Like Microsoft and Adobe, Nuance uses an activation process. This is not unreasonable, but unlike these two Nuance has a very flaky implementation, promoting me to knock a star off the rating.
The software itself is fine - indeed, it is streets ahead of Acrobat, especially on cost - but after using it for some months it suddenly decided that I had pirated the thing and had installed it on another computer. Nope. I had just added some external drives. The software then interpreted this as a different computer. Even Windows doesn't do that. Adobe fixed similar issues some years ago.
This is by design, according to Nuance's support staff, which told me that "changing parts of the computer will trigger to change the machine finger print and changing the machine finger print will require activation. Using an external hard drive is included on the parts of the computer which change the machine finger print. We apologized but that how our activation works."
This is not how other "activated" software works.
You have to be careful with this activation process. Do it too often - easily done if you turn external drives on and off - and you are deemed to be a software thief and you are locked out of the software that you have paid for.
If you are choosing between different PDF options, you might want to see if the alternative has a more sane approach to activation.
I have added this warning to other Nuance packages because they suffer from the same disease. It would make me think twice about buying future versions.

Except for one critical problem, this is an excellent alternative to Adobe Acrobat and seems to integrate well with that program when sharing comments and editing etc etc.
I would recommend it highly except for a fundamental problem with the way this software is activated and the likelihood that it will stop working due to this feature. PDF Converter Professional 7 seems to identify the process of adding/removing external drives as significantly changing the computer and flags this as the user installing the software on a new computer. It then asks for activation, which would not be a big deal except that there are a very limited number of activations available to the user before the software stops working.
I phoned the help line and was told to reinstall the program with antivirus and firewall turned off, which was done, but the problem continued.
I phoned again and was told to not only do a clean install but to register the software online. Registration is separate to activation and requires personal information that I am not particularly happy giving to a commercial company, but in this case I did. The software continued to ask for activation after external drives were used.
External drives are commonly needed to back up data files and transfer large video files, so it appears that this software will fairly quickly become unusable for many people who need to use external drives.
I use other much more expensive software that requires activation, but does not have this problem. I am returning this software for a refund.

(What's this?)
I've been using Nuance PDF converter since I encountered it at Uni where it was available free to students and staff. Its brilliant! Version 7 does not disappoint. Essential for anyone who regularly puts together documents that are best shared as a pdf file. The most useful function is to join a number of different documents (word files, other pdfs etc) into one pdf file. Just select the files, arrange them in order and click create pdf!
I used it for a number of things including user manuals, research proposals and protocols etc with fantastic professional results.

At last....
...a version that works flawlessly. I had 6.0 but it was slow and crashed with big documents (Vista 32 bit). This version is rock-solid and hasn't crashed once so far. Read more
