Power PDF Is More Secure Than Acrobat
In 2020, security is paramount, whether you’re running a business or on your personal computer. There are greater threats than ever in the digital sphere, and as technology advances, so does the sophistication of these attacks. Power PDF stands out as the premier defense against these attacks using your PDFs as a vector or accessing them without your consent.
- The PDF gained prominence due to its compatibility with almost any operating system, browser and mobile device. That compatibility comes with a cost, however, as hackers can insert malicious code into documents that can corrupt or compromise them. Due to its popularity, Adobe Acrobat remains hackers’ preferred target, turning the software against its users and compromising networks. 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.
- If the wrong people gain access to your internal documents, you can quickly find yourself in a losing position against the competition. 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. Thus, 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. And 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 that you purchase for your business today will continue to work for the long term.
- Over time, the savings from the Power PDF perpetual license add up. In the first year, the costs may look similar between Power PDF Advanced ($179) and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC ($180). Starting the next year, however, the savings compound. By the time your Adobe contract has extended to its third year, you’d have paid $540 for the Acrobat license. In the meantime, each additional year costs you $0 to use Power PDF Advanced.
- When your business expands, these savings go even further. When you need to have several licenses, it makes an enormous impact on your business. Using just five licenses, for example, your business can save over $900 per year on licensing. The bigger your business becomes, the more those savings add up year on year.
Every business has some buffer to prevent a short term loss from forcing its doors to close. Take a moment to consider your business. Does it make sense to spend any of your buffer on paying over and over again for a product you already have? You’ll never have to make that decision with Power PDF thanks to its perpetual license.
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.
