Review by Tyler Forge

Prior to getting this software, my pdf file processing solution was to use acrobat reader, CutePDF writer (installs as a printer to print documents to a pdf file), and my regular word processing and drawing tools. This works pretty well except that I can’t combine pdf files into a single document or add mark-up to an existing pdf file.

So, I decided to test out this Corel product. Quite simply, it has saved my butt a few times when my only other option was to print things out and go the old scissors and tape route. Anyways, this is not a pdf authoring software but is instead a pdf manipulation package. Limited, but OK for what I need.

The installation of this package seemed fairly clunky though. I put it on a windows XP system with all the latest patches - or so I thought. This package required some installers, one after another with reboots etc. I was really worried that I’d picked up a virus at first because of the strangeness. Well, the virus scanners haven’t found anything yet so I think I’m OK.

So, the big summary is that there is some clunkiness here and there but is super handy if you lack PDF authoring tools and have to manipulate PDF files
