Creating a PDF from scratch was also a cinch using direct text entry and dragging-and-dropping images and graphics. Scanning documents into PDF and having Power PDF’s OCR turn them into searchable, editable text is just one click from the toolbar. Everything is laid out intuitively, but should you be unable to locate a feature, a “Find a Tool” search capability is always available in the upper-right corner and it works well. Like Nitro Pro and Foxit PhantomPDF, Power PDF now uses the popular Microsoft Office-style ribbon interface, making it easy to find what you need without having to search through nested menus. A recent cosmetic makeover only boosts its appeal. Nuance Power PDF has long been a popular alternative to Adobe Acrobat thanks to its comparable feature set and significantly lower cost.
