 Crummy Product and NO Support Oct 27, 2009
After installing/unistalling several times, I give up. It keeps giving the same fatal error on app start up associated with file "pdfcore8.dll". Says the install was good and everything activated ok, but the software won't start. And Nuance wants a credit card number to provide technical support. I'm never buying another product from the company.
Nuance Lost Me On This One Aug 31, 2009
I consider myself to be a power user. Some of my friends may consider me a gadget guy or geek. For example, I upgrade my laptop about every 18 months. This is because I do everything on my laptop and at the first hint of problems, I upgrade. (I would rather deal with that hassle than retrieving info from a dead machine.)
I own various versions of Adobe Acrobat and bought PDF Converter because of the added features. The price sounded nice, too, as Adobe is very proud of their products.
The problem is that the software was unstable and in my attempts to install and reinstall over a few weeks, Nuance decided that I must be attempting to pirate their software. So when the software reached the maximum number of installations allowed, they would not give me a key to load the software again.
All I wanted was one install that worked. And I wish that I only had to install the software one time to make that happen.
I am not too fond of paying Adobe's prices, but it is a bargain compared to buying software that will not work and the company will not support.
Nuance, I still like Paper Port. And if you would only PLEASE quit telling me I have an "Important Update" only to attempt to sell me the latest upgrade, I would even recommend Paper Port to others. I suspect I am not the only consumer who cannot stand the "Urgent Warnings" that are nothing more than sales solicitations.

Just plain doesn't work. Jun 21, 2009
This software is supposed to be able to convert regular pdf to searchable pdf in a batch mode. It doesn't. It just hangs and I have to kill the program through task manager every time. Support costs $$$$. Don't buy this crap.

 Does what you wanted to do easier and less expensively than Adobe. Jun 06, 2009
PDF Converter Five is easier to use than Adobe.
It may not have all the features but does exactly what I want. Seems to run faster than Adobe and is much easier to use.
Has a sometime tendency to insert a "watermark" showing the pdf form being edited is a demo copy. Pops up without warning but does not interfere with the edit.
I am pleased enough with it to make it my default PDF management program on all my computers.

Piece of Junk Jun 01, 2009
I must agree with the bad ratings for this product. I tried to install this product on my computer at home. (Windows XP MCE with SP3) I can not get it to activate either Automatically or manually. When I try to activate automatically it just sits there and does nothing. I tried manually and it gives me an error message saying the Serial number is no good.
I guess I will go back to version 4.0
