"For our organization PDF Converter Professional 4's ability to convert information from existing PDF documents into other useable formats is critical. We have had employees leave the company and destroy all the original documents they had worked on - except the PDF files. With this product I was able to turn those PDF files back into something that we could reuse."
John Wable, Network Operations Manager
UC Irvine
"Using PDF Converter to deconstruct PDF manuals and republish them as UCI specific documents couldn't be any easier. We looked at many competing products, but we couldn’t get most of them to work at all. PDF Converter was the exception. Its ability to correctly separate graphics and text was key to our purchase decision. We are very pleased with its performance."
Greg Ackerman, Assistant Director of Health Sciences IT
Ascent Management Group
"We routinely need to complete tax forms for each of our clients. One of the things that we like the most about PDF Converter is the way that it quickly creates fillable Microsoft Word forms from PDF forms. Using PDF Converter saves us a fair amount of time, probably half of the time it used to take before we began using it. Less time completing paperwork means more billable time for my employees. Buying PDF Converter was a good idea."
Bob Turner, President
Merrill Lynch
"Currently it is very difficult to get content out of existing PDF documents. Using PDF Converter saves at least 50 to 70 percent of the time previously required to extract information out of PDF documents. This product gives us the ability to manage a document in any form, whether it is an original PDF or not."
Ray Walters, VP of Web Technologies
Radcam Digital
"I have a copy of Acrobat Reader, but it is pretty useless. It does not allow me to create PDF files or edit them. I am only able to view and print them. We purchased a few full copies of Acrobat, but I don’t have one on my computer because it is so expensive. In contrast, the value PDF Converter Professional provides is awesome. It is very easy-to-use and creates standard PDF files that look like every other PDF file I’ve seen. It works great!"
Richard Caplan, CEO
Truck-Lite Company
"Using PDF Converter requires only about 15% of the time other PDF conversion tools need to accomplish the same task. It is extremely quick at providing editable text and images you can use in other Windows applications."
Rick Wetherbee, Materials Audit Supervisor
Consolidated Beef Producers
"PDF Create! is very valuable because it is so affordable when compared to other PDF creation products. If offers the same functionality as Adobe's Acrobat for about one tenth of the price. We couldn't afford to buy Acrobat for everyone, but PDF Create! was doable because it is so reasonably priced."
