 With Power PDF, business users        get all the tools they need to create, manage, share, and secure PDF        files plus additional features only available from Nuance for document        conversion, search, connectivity and more. Power PDF has powerful        features to accurately convert PDFs to editable Microsoft Office(R)        documents, combine and assemble documents from many sources into a        single PDF, and collaborate on PDF files with a powerful toolset.
 
 "Power        PDF is the PDF solution best-suited for businesses and large        organizations," said Michael Rich, executive vice president and general        manager, Nuance Document Imaging. "Before Nuance Power PDF, businesses        had to make compromises and choose between the limited capabilities of        free PDF reader software, low-end PDF solutions, or an expensive        solution designed for graphic designers that isn't engineered for        today's business environment. Customers demand solutions that integrate        with their business processes; are flexible, secure and scalable; and        don't burden them with unwanted or onerous pricing or licensing demands.        Power PDF meets those demands, without compromise."
 
 Nuance        Power PDF: Easy to Use, Affordable, Scalable
 
 With its Microsoft        Office-style ribbon user interface, Power PDF minimizes the learning        curve and maximizes productivity by enabling users to transition        effortlessly between word processing and PDF publishing. The software        makes it easy to share and collaborate on work seamlessly across an        organization as well as externally -- all while providing document        control and security. Power PDF is priced to be affordably deployed to        all business users in an enterprise, enabling all employees to assemble,        compare, convert, create, dictate, edit, read, redact, scan, search,        secure, sign, print and validate PDF documents and forms with        unprecedented ease and speed.
 
 Key new features in Power PDF        include:
 
 Combine and assemble documents with ease. Combine files        and remove or replace pages in complex documents with drag-and-drop        ease. For instance, in maintenance manuals or government regulation        documents, users can update content without losing links to other parts        of the document. For review use cases, they can utilize batch tools to        automate repetitive tasks and improve efficiency throughout the        workplace.
 
 Side-by-side document comparison. Quickly identify        differences between two versions of a document with a side-by-side        comparison tool that accurately highlights changes in text and visuals,        and provides a summary report of all changes.
 
 Commenting and        review. Nuance Dragon Notes voice recognition capabilities are        integrated into Power PDF enabling users to dictate text quickly and        accurately into notes within a PDF -- increasing productivity.
 
 Easily        manage batch workflows. Create workflows to automate large-scale PDF        creation or conversion, stamping, watermarking, OCR, redaction,        inserting or deleting pages, and Bates numbering tasks. For example, an        organization can quickly look through 1,000 or more files to find number        or word patterns, such as social security numbers, invoice IDs, phone        numbers, dates and email addresses, to identify and locate relevant        information for editing or redaction.
 
 Power PDF enables users to        quickly and easily create 100 percent industry-standard PDF files with        security options that are fully compliant with all PDF viewers. Users        can generate PDFs directly from the authoring tools -- with Microsoft        add-ons to Office and Outlook(R) -- with all tags, bookmarks, links and        references intact. The software also faithfully converts PDF files --        even with complex layouts such as columns, tables and graphics -- to        Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect(R) and other authoring formats --        saving users valuable time.
 
 Nuance Power PDF has secure delivery,        document inspection, redaction, encryption and digital rights management        capabilities to control access to documents, inside and outside of the        enterprise. The software can deploy PDF files in read-only mode to        enforce compliance with SOX, GLBA, HIPAA, eDiscovery and other internal        control best practices and regulatory mandates.
 
 Power PDF also        integrates with many third-party applications, enabling organizations to        incorporate PDF into existing workflows, increasing organizational,        operational and worker efficiency. For example, small offices can        connect to popular cloud-based collaboration sites, such as Box.net,        Dropbox, Evernote, Google Docs(TM), Office 365(TM) and Windows Live        SkyDrive(R). Large-scale organizations can connect with enterprise-class        content management systems, including Autonomy, Documentum, SharePoint        and NetDocs.
