GARBAGE!!!by LSHELEMEY - January 26, 2007
Pros: none-none-none
Cons: incompatability
Review:
This product does not perform as advertised. The trial version seemed to perform miracles. I have yet to successfully convert a document. Tech support was not helpful. Customer service even worse.

Garbage! That is what came outby chiplawson - December 15, 2005
Pros: Can't think of any
Cons: Doesn't work and support is worthless
Review:
I strongly recommend you do NOT buy this software. It appears to be a complete rip-off. I tried to convert my first document, a simple text (no graphics) document and PDF Converter 3 did not recognize a single character. Zipo. Called support (one free call and then everone after that is $20 a pop) and they said PDF Converter does not have a very good OCR engine and I should be using OmniPage Pro (another one of their products) instead. INCREDIBLE!! They basiclly said, this product doesn't work. They just changed their name from ScanSoft to Nuance and now I know why. They are running away from their bad name.
