While it is possible to work in this manner, I should imagine that most users will prefer to work with content that has been previously created in other applications such as a word processor and graphics package or even brought in directly from a scanner. You can start with a blank ODF and build it up from scratch by typing, using copy & paste plus inserting items such as pictures, clip art and graphics. When you first fire up this software, it is hardly the most inspiring view with most of the options greyed out until a file is opened or a task undertaken. The main focus of PDF Converter Professional 8 is the creation of PDF files although the software does have the ability to work in the opposite direction by converting PDF into other types of office documents plus provide PDF reading functionality. Eventually the process was completed but only after a system reboot and the raising of my frustration level by a few points. At various points during this procedure, the installation appeared to hang and at one stage requested confirmation as to my details including the serial number already entered.
I quickly discovered that this installation routine requests that certain items, such as your browser, are shut down as certain files will need to be updated. The PDF Converter Professional program has its own separate installation which requires the entry of a 22-character serial number. Both these two offerings have their own installation routine and become part of your system start-up. I later discovered that Gaaiha was a means of voice communication with others while the Cloud offering gives you access to a storage area. There was no printed documentation to assist in this matter as Nuance (quite naturally) has opted for a PDF file to provide this information.
I was unable to detect any reference to these additional items on the product’s packaging and so was unsure of their actual purpose although I could guess that Nuance Cloud Connector was a form of online service.
When making such a decision it helps when some information regarding the additional items is given but this was not the case. The installation of this product gives you various choices including whether you want to include Nuance Cloud Connector and Gaaiha Collaboration with the main PDF Converter Professional 8 software.
