Power PDF Is More Secure Than Acrobat
These days, whether you’re running a business or working on your personal computer, security is paramount. Power PDF stands out as a premier defender against both attacks that use PDFs as a vector and bad actors trying to access your files.
- Adobe Acrobat remains a preferred target for hackers, turning the software against its users and often compromising networks in the process. One malicious PDF could infect an entire organization with ransomware. Power PDF uses advanced security scanning to identify and neutralize malicious code, meaning you can safely open your PDFs without worrying about damaging your computers.
- While you can password-protect documents with Adobe products, Power PDF takes protection several steps further. By cooperating with the Microsoft Active Directory Rights Management System, you can accurately control who has access to the documents on your network. So your competition and hackers will need more than just a password to access your secure documents.
Power PDF Costs Significantly Less Than Acrobat
Ultimately, your business succeeds or fails based on one uncompromising demand: a positive balance in your corporate bank accounts. Compared to Acrobat, Power PDF is a much more economical choice.
- You can secure a Power PDF license for a single payment that won’t expire. Ever. The same license you purchase for your business today continues to work in the long term.
- The costs may look similar between Power PDF Advanced ($188) and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC ($180) in the first year. But the following year, the savings compound. By the time your Adobe contract has extended to its third year, you’ll have paid $540 for the Acrobat license. But with Power PDF Advanced, each additional year costs $0.
- When your business expands, these savings go even further. For example, using just five licenses, your business can save over $900 per year on licensing. The bigger your business becomes, the more those savings add up.
Does it make sense to repeatedly pay for a product you already have? Thanks to perpetual licensing, with Power PDF, you won’t have to.
Other Reasons Power PDF Beats Adobe Acrobat
While the security and financial benefits of using Power PDF are profound, there are many other reasons to make the switch from Acrobat:
- Power PDF integrates into many cloud storage solutions. Many businesses rely on Microsoft SharePoint as the baseline for cloud access, but Power PDF is also compatible with Box, Evernote, and Google Drive, among its many options.
- Power PDF functions as many programs in one. Its utility extends through its many features, including editing, combining, splitting, and converting PDFs. For advanced functions, Power PDF even includes assistants that can help your employees work more efficiently and learn how to do new things each time they use it.
- As you invest in additional software to enhance your business’s workflows, you’ll find that Power PDF embraces automation—this saves your workers time and money.
- We’ve designed Power PDF’s utility ribbon to function like the familiar Microsoft Office ribbon. This intuitive design streamlines the learning experience and dramatically softens the learning curve, enabling your employees to use Power PDF like professionals in no time.
