Foxit  Reviews 213

Pros: The compression works great and doesn't lose too much qulity. The OCR functionality allows us to search scanned documents, which we didn't have before PdfCompressor.

We set up two watch directories, one that's used twice a week and one that's use at the end of each month. The one at the end of the month gets older files, before 2010, pulled in that need to be compressed and OCR'd. This uses up our monthly allowance of pages.

Cons: Setting up the watch directories took a little bit to get right but that could be our fault for not reading enough documentation.

I have been using PDFCompressor since 2012. I first purchased it to get optimum size reduction of PDF files for my website which contains over four million pages of documents on the history of radio and its related fields of electronics and music.

I found the compression was better, cleaner and better controlled than alternatives such as Acrobat Pro. And processing was faster. I discovered from use that the OCR was much better than Adobe, Abbyy or other stand-alone products.

The ability to configure settings for different types to documents is invaluable since I work with both newer and up to 120-year-old materials.

A wonderful feature is the software's ability to use selectable numbers of multiple core CPUs. I recently upgraded to an i9 7980 based system and I can now run multiple instances of PDFCompressor, all using at least 6 cores, with no reduction of processing time.

The scaled pricing lets me pick the package that fits my needs, which are around 75,000 pages a month.

My only "wish list" is for the software to have the ability to set my own defaults such as start directory, combine into one document and not to move non-convertible pages. It would also be nice if the file selection window obeyed Windows conventions, such as shift-click, multiple file drag and drop, etc.

But my wishes are small compared to the vast benefits (and I have tried every competing product). I just renewed my service agreement for three more years and that is the best endorsement this very picky user can give.

I have been using PDF Compressor for more than 8 years now and I would recommend it to anyone. I am still impressed by the huge reduction in size without any quality loss. I find this application to be invaluable and plan on using it even more in the future. I have rarely ever called CVision for support but when I have the experience has been great.

It runs reliably without issues. It allows users to dump multiple files into the input directory for processing. Batch processing is quite convenient. There are so many adjustments, you can fine tune your output files to your exact specifications.

Good Product - fit our needs

CVision staff spent a lot of time helping me with installation problems. They were competent, prompt and courteous.

Have been unable to receive any credit for million battery product that was stolen by a company I did a asset purchase agreement with and has gone bankrupt

Great pre-sales support. Our sales person was able to get us extended trials so that we could fully test and be confident in our purchasing decision.

Great support. Very helpful. After testing several products for abilities, quality and file sizes this is the best product by far.

I do not like having people trying to get me to renew early. It left like I spent over half the year in a conversation about payment.

Came pre-installed on my asus pc. Couldn't right click pdf files.

No hassle, simple and free!
