Summary: EXTREMELY POOR piece of SOFTWARE - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
Review: Occasionally, it is possible to purchase a $49.99 program that performs many of the functions of the "REAL" program (e.g., Adobe Acrobat). Unfortunately, this is one of the WORST examples of jackleg software writing that I've had the displeasure to purchase in some 10 years. Absolutely idiotic! In addition to the FACT that the morons at XELERATE (& that's probably the way they think the word should be spelled!) provide a Serial Number that is ridiculously mixed with upper and lower case alpha-numerics, making the process of actually loading the program a bizarre exercise in frustration. Also, it appears that the code writers at DE-XELERATE have taken cues from the spelling and grammar branch of the company. It is pathetic. Folks, I rarely return software for any reason, knowing the difficulty in arguing credit for the purchase (I understand the argument)...however - this software is ridiculous. For those reasons, I'm going to give this product return venture my best shot. As a note, when attempting to read the absolutely illiterate so-called "Quick Start Guide", one discovers a myriad of mixed tenses, misspelled words, typos, and/or totally illogical sentences. In other words, this SOFTWARE and its MANUAL are awful. However, other than the problems with this software's functionality and the manual's readability, the CDROM could provide some use as a soft drink coaster, and I suppose the box could be used to help ignite a well built fire some cold evening. But believe me, these two virtues are the ONLY redeeming factors of this worthless, poorly designed, and inept piece of non-work.

Summary: Power pdf
Review: The program let's you create pdf files very easily. I am quite happy with it-especially considering the price. However, it does not let you edit such files-just create them.

Summary: Indecipherable password prevents loading
Review: These folks have topped Microsoft for hard to read software passwords. You must type in a long code containing upper case, lower case, and numerals, all mixed together and printed with a bubblejet in sanserif font. So you get i's and I's and L's and l's and O's and 0's and o's, but you can't tell which is which (it looks like lOl0, etc.) so you spend an hour trying all combos, without success. Go to their website and click on the password info page and you get testamonials about how much other customers love the program once the company gave them a password that worked. Huh? You should not have to do this! And besides, the page does not work, so you cannot send them an e-mail. There are other ways to get them, though not by phone; the company is unlisted. Just try the other websites and e-mails listed in various places on the box, the instruction booklet, and the CD sleeve. Good luck!The program does work. I have not yet gotten it to integrate with Paperport, though I have not experimented much. I suppose I could use Paperport in the printer mode to make a direct PDF. I have been able to convert from Paperport files to PDF. The files are rather large, though.

Summary: Terrible
Review: THis program is not what I thought it would be. It is less of a program than it is a printer device. Once you edit and save .pdf files, you can no longer edit them. Thank god it was free after rebates!
