### "Apower PDF over Adobe" — 4.0/5

> **Michael** | *11 October 2021* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use, converting documents , easy use task bar and able to create new documents with ease.
> 
> **Cons**: Making the Edit option a little easier to use, more format choices.
> 
> Our company made the switch over from Adobe which was getting more difficult to use and they dropped any all support for their product. ApowerPDF  is a almost a mirror of Adobe but I feel it more user friendly.

### "apowerPDF meine Unterstützung in Sachen PDF..." — 5.0/5

> **Ayla** | *17 September 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Das Produkt ist allem voran sehr intuitiv zu bedienen und daher sofort verständlich und benutzerfreundlich. Einige wenige, aber doch sehr effektive Bearbeitungsleisten führen Dich zur Bearbeitung von PDFs. Du musst nicht lange suchen, bevor Du die Arbeit erledigen kannst, die Du zur Bearbeitung benötigst. Schnell ist man involviert in die Bearbeitungsleisten, da es wenige Schritte sind, bleibt es auch schnell hängen im Bewusstsein. Sehr praktisch.. Hier nochmal vielen herzlichen Dank an die Entwickler dieses Magic apowerPDF.
