Introduction: Learn the options you have for PDF software

First made available by Adobe® in 1993 and certified as an open standard by ISO in 2008, the Portable Document Format (PDF) has become the world’s chosen file type when it comes to electronic document collaboration and archiving. Over the years, while Adobe Acrobat® remains the mainstream choice as most companies recognize it as an equivalent for PDF application, a new wave of awareness is changing the way corporations think about PDF software.

Now more and more IT professionals have come to realize there are alternatives which do the job just as fine. Conscious of budget, cost-effectiveness and deployment considerations, businesses are beginning to re-evaluate options and look for a solution which best meets their standards. In this guide, we will present 7 common traits which motivate IT pros to replace Adobe Acrobat with Right PDF.

 

 

7 reasons Right PDF makes an ideal alternative

1. Deploy and maintain with ease

IT pros often encounter challenges when introducing new software to their organization or department. While some might require sophisticated deployment strategies which take considerable time to implement, most companies only need simple and lightweight installers that can be distributed in a short span of time. Right PDF Pro has an install footprint around 200MB and does not only provide on-demand .msi installer, but also Terminal Server License (TSL) for common hosting environments such as Windows® Terminal Server and Remote Desktop Connection.

With software deployment complete, maintaining version equality could be a tall order. Take Acrobat for example, the patching method only replaces certain files within installations and the users might ultimately end up running different releases across the organization. On the opposite, Right PDF provides a new installer for each version change, enabling IT teams to update all licenses easily without having to go through prior investigation. This way, the users will always keep their versions up-to-date and have access to the latest improvements.

 

 

2. Microsoft SharePoint and AIP (Azure Information Protection)

In modern business, companies often rely on software such as Microsoft SharePoint to track, store and secure great quantities of documents, and an integrated PDF solution plays a pivotal role in workflow efficiency. With Right PDF, you can open and edit PDF files stored in SharePoint directly on Windows platform, keeping track of the different versions created by different users. Moreover, Right PDF Editor supports Microsoft AIP and makes it easy for companies to protect documents against unauthorized access, fully incorporating information security into your document workflows.

 

3. Friendly UI, Short Learning Curve

Right PDF features a clean, simple user interface which is easy to learn and navigate. Since MS Office users exceed 1.2 billion worldwide , there is a great likelihood that your users know Word, Excel or PowerPoint very well and are at ease navigating through the Ribbon toolbar. Working with Right PDF, you no longer need to acclimatize users in unintuitive software and complex functions, minimizing the time-to-operation process.

Productivity comes from finding the right features with as few clicks as possible, and the Right PDF UI offers unrivaled flexibility to make it effortless. In addition to the Find a Tool search field, the integrated Quick Access toolbar at the top of the application is completely customizable, granting users the freedom to add or remove buttons at will. The various panels within the sidebar navigation pane are also designed to be movable so that each user can set up a work environment they feel comfortable in. This way, users can quickly learn how to use the application for their purposes.

Right PDF is also the only PDF solution which advocates writing PDF from the ground up. The one-of-the-kind, specialized Write mode offers you unparalleled power to freely manipulate PDF contents, including font, paragraph, table, graphic, and footnote. With Right PDF, you can do all in just one single application without having to repeatedly convert files back and forth and worry about possible formatting errors and inaccuracies.

 

Right PDF Pro’s UI has two switchable modes which organize PDF functions around editing and review.

 

Other than converting PDF to writable PDF or Excel, Right PDF also gives you OCR (Optical Character Recognition) which enables text-image conversion into searchable PDFs. There is no need to fumble with editing scanned PDFs or read through volumes of documents just to find the information you need. With OCR applied, scanned document comes alive in your hands, and editing is just a breeze.

 

 

4. Refined features

With 29 years of experience, Right PDF expertly distills features to deliver lean, compact solution to businesses at an affordable cost. In contrast, the leading vendor’s software makes organizations pay for a bloated feature set designed for specific professions that most business users just don’t need. While it is true that companies in different trades look at PDF from perspectives of their own, the core value of PDF software remains the same to those who require the essential features such as editing, converting and annotation. Right PDF enables users to finish the job without trekking through complicated context menus loaded with unclear features. Stop paying for unnecessary capabilities now and start raising the return of your software investments.

 

 

5. Productivity beyond desktop

The advent of mobile devices has given rise to demands for viewing and interacting with PDF documents across multiple platforms. Nowadays, knowledge workers collaborate to complete documents on their mobile devices more than ever, and it is important to note the advantages of using an app that comes with friendly UI and handy features. For instance, the free Right PDF Reader app empowers staff to work with PDF files on iOS and Android devices. Put aside exceptional display speed, it supports a wide range of functions such as annotating content, filling forms and switching between view modes. Beyond mobile devices, it is also noteworthy that our website Right PDF Online provides web-based services, such as creation, conversion and password protection, for free.

 

6. Speed is efficiency

By choosing Right PDF, corporations are equipped to handle a large number of documents with superior speed and accuracy. Users in document-intensive companies usually have to open, edit and create a great number of files on a daily basis, and speed plays a key role in the work efficiency of business. On an individual scale, such differences might not seem significant; but for an organization routinely dealing with thousands of documents on countless workflows, the numbers add up to a considerable total which saves you a lot of time, space and expenditure. According to our recent test, Right PDF consistently excels in conversion speed and result file size with remarkably low CPU usage, and with batch processing combined, document conversion has never been more robust and effortless.
