Tables are usually the Achilles’ Heel of such software and with Power PDF Advanced, but it was handled remarkably well. The conversion engine is actually quite fast, handles complex formatting reasonably well. WordPerfect (thanks Nuance, I have forgotten this one existed).PDF Convert Assistant converts pages or documents from PDF format into something else. The wrapper retains the ability to search across the entire portfolio, single master password and print from a single command. The documents are not fused into a single large document. Portfolios can include folder hierarchies for better presentation and organisation of files. Portfolios are a PDF wrapper in which PDF files can be referenced as separate documents with their own identity. It allows the additional of multiple documents and document types, with options to package into a portfolio or a single file. The PDF Create Assistant, as the name implies, helps with the creation of PDF documents. Moving into the more advanced features, at the heart of the Nuance Power PDF Advanced are the assistants: The accuracy of the transcribing was spot on for every test I did. At this point the speech is send for processing then it is automatically transcribed to the Sticky Note. It does not help when the “Dragon Note Status” where I need to interact with is defaulted to the top left corner of the program screen. I had to click on the Dragon Notes, select the area where I want to annotate, speak, close the Dragon Notes Status interface to signal the end of the recording. In my use of it translation from speech to text was fairly fast, however I found the interface to be a bit clunky and less than intuitive. Once the speech has been processed, the transcribed text is posted in a Sticky Note. To leverage Dragon Notes, an internet connection is required as user speech is processed by the Dragon Notes server and not locally. In Power PDF Advanced, notes can be entered into a PDF by dictating text with the Dragon Notes speech recognition engine. Power users of my era would remember Dragon Dictate, which became Dragon Naturally Speaking. Nuance leverages another product from its portfolio – Dragon Notes. There are the expected annotation and markup tools: notes, callsouts, highlight, underline and draw tools. Nuance takes it a step further by adding a new toolbar into the Microsoft Office suite and Internet Explorer to make it more efficient to create and distribute PDF documents. The newer versions of Microsoft products provides a PDF printer, or a save as PDF format option.
