How Power PDF Compares to Adobe Acrobat

The Way It's Been

The business world wouldn't be what it is today without legacy brands that led the way. We certainly believe in giving credit where credit is due, and the current standards of working with PDFs work well for yesterday's business world, but as professionals, we must think ahead - what will the world be like tomorrow? One trend we've seen recently is subscription prices that lock businesses into expensive contracts. Year after year, those contracts renew, yet the price goes up.

Is your business getting an honest return on those increases? Perhaps you're only experiencing basic PDF functionality, limited options for signatures and export options that don't entirely give your business the compatibility it needs to succeed. After all, how many times have you completed a fillable PDF only to discover that the information you entered wasn't saved? You don't always remember that you have to print or export the document, and that wasted time can have a real impact.

A Modern Approach to PDFs

Fortunately, Power PDF keeps all the best features of the past and develops practical solutions for your business. Power PDF Standard and Advanced are available as perpetual licenses with no monthly fees, while Power PDF Business is available as a SaaS subscription for enterprise deployment with cloud-based editing and a generative AI copilot.

With our secure PDFs, you can convert Word documents to PDF and back as needed. Protect your data while you make it easily accessible to the people who need it most.
