Foxit PhantomPDF 6 review: PDF software that does more for less

>
Foxit Software's PhantomPDF (in both Standard and Business versions) settle on a decent decision for essential office needs, yet it experiences a character emergency once you get to the top of the line highlights. Foxit's download page makes the intense case that it is "Superior to anything Adobe Reader and Acrobat," yet a more exact proclamation would be that it may be better, in particular circumstances that could possibly apply to you. See all product downloads. See likewise: Foxit Reader 6 audit.

Numerous years (and employments) back, I was a Tier 2 professional supporting Adobe Acrobat. I am an Adobe Certified Expert in Acrobat 6.0 Professional. What I need you to detract from this is I am a veteran in managing both Acrobat and PDF records, and that I comprehend that the #1 question individuals need addressed is, "Will this product do what I would regularly need to spend twice as much to do with Acrobat?" The answer depends completely on what you would utilize Acrobat for. I've framed my supposition looking at Foxit PhantomPDF against Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.

Initially, Foxit PhantomPDF pretty much has highlight equality with more seasoned renditions of Acrobat: They both have fundamental comment apparatuses, intelligence components, for example, connections and catches and structures, and essential altering highlights like including/uprooting pages. There are minor contrasts in how a percentage of the elements work, yet the distinctions truly aren't that fascinating, nor are they so uneven as to make one an inconceivably better affair over the other.

Where things get uncertain is the point at which you get to the propelled highlight set. Foxit appears to have included various elements that are just accessible in the Pro version of Adobe Acrobat as an advertising strategy, as opposed to as an all encompassing outline choice, which unexpectedly makes it harder to suggest in view of those components.

The most conspicuous case of this needs to do with working with norms agreeable PDF archives. PhantomPDF can perceive and accept PDF/An (authentic), PDF/X (press), and PDF/E (designing) records. Be that as it may, it can't createthem. There is a programmed change alternative, however in the event that you don't care for the outcome there is no real way to settle it. The best the PhantomPDF printer driver can offer is PDF/A1-b support, yet disregard CMYK or picture determination controls. The PDF/E transformation choice is particularly astounding, considering that PhantomPDF doesn't support implanting the 3d models or element content that the PDF/E organization was made for in any case.
