Summary: Cannot start a program
Review: I got an invalid serial number and cannot start a program. I'm trying to reach a customer service, but I'm not sure if I can get response because I read another's review that says he couldn't get any service from this company. It's totally nonsense that a software comes with an invalid serial.

Summary: PowerPDF - Hard To Install, Minimal Support.
Review: I had read a review where some guy apparently got this program to install somehow and it worked great. From the box it seemed easy to I got one as an alternative to the out-of-sight high priced ADOBE PDF writer. $50.00 vs. $450.00. A no brainer IF it worked, right?

I attempted to install mine the day I bought it. I had all of the required hardware listed on the box. No go. A screen came up and said to insert Win 98 disk first. I did and apparently the computer already had the file they were looking for. Still didn't work. So I went to Microsoft and installed the file they were looking for (CAB13). When I finished MS also said I already had the file. So I apparently have the file they need but it still won't install. I wrote them an email and was told that the printing on thier box was wrong about the systems needed and to take it back for a refund. I replied that I have the file they need and Windows 98 SE, so now what. No response so far. This is apparently one of those programs that might work for a computer expert but the ordinary computer user just keeps running into problems. I'm taking it to my regular computer store to see if they can install it and if not, back it goes. Never again.

Summary: Very Cool Product
Review: I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised on how easy this product was to use and how effective it is for my business. It is a great alternative to the expensive Adobe product out there, and I love the fact that I can email my PDF files immediately. Kudos to Xelerate for bringing out a great inexpensive product that meets my needs.

Summary: No Support: caveat emptor.
Review: I have used PowerPDF successfully for a few documents. But when it began to misbehave in such a way as to make it unusable, I emailed the vendor's product support describing my problem and asking for advice. They told me the product was no longer in development, and they wouldn't help me. When I tried again, and again in very polite terms, I received no response at all. The price is too high for an unsupported product.

Summary: serial number not working
Review: I tried several format for 1,l,I, etc. none worked. I checked what was shown on the error message is exactly the same as printed on the manual. After tried for 15 minutes, I gave up,

Summary: Garbage
Review: I truely cannot evaluate this product since it CANNOT be installed. The supplied serial number doesn't work and the customer support is non existent at Xelerate. What good is software that just sits in the box and cannot be installed. I have seen many reviews of this product all with the same complant - cannot be installed. Seems like this is a very common problem with this product. The Xelerate website offers no solution and no way to contact them except via email - what a bummer. Here I am with no refund, no software installed and no recourse, save your money and buy any other software except Xelerate software - it is the worst of the bunch.

Summary: VERY easy to use
Review: I use PowerPDF since January and it works perfect. It creates very small PDF files and I can email them right out of the little window that pops up. A nice feature is also that it lets you preview the PDF before you actually print it into a PDF.
Powerpdf saves me tons of paper, especially when printing from my IE 5. Their serial number is a pain to enter during installation, but once it is installed it works wonderfull.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best, easy-to-use PDF Tool ever
Review: I was very surprised when I installed PowerPDF and used it to convert my weekly Newsletter into PDF, it is quick, easy and converts everything just fine.
I was searching a long time for a cheap way to get some Documents into PDF Format. Adobe is way to expensive and other Tools cost more and provide less Functions.
The only negative Aspect is that I wasn't able to use as Picture as Watermark. After contacting Support they told me that this is not possible yet.
PowerPDF is a Tool for everyone who want's to create PDF Files with just one Click.

Summary: Reviews mean nothing when the company doesn't offer support
Review: I've had nothing but problems with the software from the start. Worst of all once it loaded, it didn't work. The instructions leave a lot to be desired as does company tech support - which took three days to respond with an unhelpful email. They said the product only works with Windows 98 second addition (not 95 as stated on the box) and above and that I should return the software. Since I have Windows 98 second addition they did not answer my overall question and have not responded to my second email. Because it took so long to get some help my return window from the store had expired. I'm now stuck with no support and a program that is just for decoration.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Invalid Serial Number?
Review: It keeps on showing invalid serial number though I input it exactly as shown in the instruction manual. My email to support got no response.
