Don't even think about it
Do not buy this program. Version 8 is a complete rewrite to support Unicode and is definitely not ready for prime time. We tried version 8.0.1 where I work and computers are crashing, libraries are not opening up and saving properly on network drives, the program itself is slow and clunky and annoying even when it's working. I love version 5! After I try version 7 we may make version 7 the standard. ... Read more

Great Tool For File Management & Paper Reduction
Previous Reviews sound like Adobe Techs trying to Discredit a Great Product!I love this product, and it works great.It gives you the option to print to a PDF File that can then be stored in My Documents, for example.Since I started using this product my paper and printing costs have been greatly reduced.
Worthless and impossible to remove without surgery
A client of mine picked this garbage up and installed it on his PC.Not only did it not meet his needs, but much to his chagrin he lost the install CD during a move and found himself totally stymied.When his PC booted up, he got a Scansoft prompt box whining for the PDF Converter CD.He couldn't uninstall the program because, of course, it whined for the CD if you dared to try to pull such a move.We downloaded the removal tool so helpfully provided on the Scansoft website to get rid of this junk, and that did absolutely nothing.We went through the system registry to delete keys, following the instructions so helpfully provided on the Scansoft website to get rid of this junk and that did nothing as well.Every reboot resulted in further endless whining for the Scansoft PDF Converter CD.Now it appears I will have to reinstall Windows to get rid of this useless trash for good.It goes without saying my client is never going to buy another Scansoft product and as a desktop professional I'm recommending the same to everyone who comes into contact with this organization and its worthless products.

Waste ofmoney
First of all, the required registration and fingerprinting of your machine is quite intrusive and cumbersome.

Scansoft has a few issues
I used scansoft and found a lot of it's features intrusive and troubling.Given the price, I was expecting a much better performance.I've gone to places like freepdf.saucylabs.com and found the freeware there actually worked much better, especially for just outputting word and quickbooks stuff into a PDF.
Horrible for Saving Web Pages
One of the common uses for a pdf conversion program is to save snapshots of web pages (for archiving, etc.). However, Create 2.0 does a HORRIBLE job of converting webpages to pdf format - a lot of graphical information is lost. Just try creating a snapshot of yahoo.com - you will end up with something noticably different from what you would see in a browser. For "website to pdf" conversion, use one of many free online services such as at http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/pdf-o-matic.php. If Scansoft Create can't even handle web page converson, which is pretty simple, I'm not too hopeful that it will do a good job with other formats.

Adobe look out!
I work at a legal firm and we bought this product instead of Acrobat.The pricing was unbeleiveable.Why does Adobe charge so much for the same thing?Maybe because there was no competition.This reminds me of what happened we Lexus started making luxury cars - BMW and Mercedes were forced to take notice.Isn't being a consumer in this kind of market great? ...

Great product to help save time
I have been using this product for a few weeks and it works great for me.When you consider what it does, the results are pretty amazing - it reconstructs a document with formatting from a picture!It does not work perfectly on every single document, but usually any clean up is minimal.I am very happy with it.For $50 it has saved me hundreds by not having to retype stuff from PDFs.I noticed someone made a comment about it not working on encrypted files - it says that one the box and on the web site.The stupidity of people never fails to amaze me!

PDF Converter with Potential
Having used this product on large (more than 500 pages) and complex documents, my conclusion is that this could be a very good product.Unfortunately, the software has some logic flaws that cause it to fail repeatedly on specfic text formatting.For example, consider the following listing: PDF Converter - Warning
This software only works on NON-ENCRYPTED pdf files.I paid too much money for something that did nothing for me.It read the pictures or scanned files, but not the text oddly enough.It was a waste of my money and my time to install and attempt to convert the file.I wish I would have checked to find out if it was encrypted or not.I might just end up selling it and hopefully get most of my money back. ...

NITRO PDF did a better job. Actually replaces 2 software products.
I was not very happy with the results of Scansoft's product.
doesn't work for scanned in documents
This only works on documents that have been electronically turned into pdfs NOT PDFs that have been created through scanning. So since nearly all the PDFs I work with are scanned in from books or journals, this product is worthless.ABBYY's PDF Trnasformer WILL do OCR on scanned in PDFs.It isn't perfect, but at least ABBYY's product is usefull for me.

Worse than useless
I bought this based on a Scansoft e-mail ad that made wonderful claims for the accuracy of the PDF to Word conversion capability.Boy was I disappointed!I have yet to see the first accurate conversion of anything more complicated than a simple non-letterhead typed page.I tried to use it to update a manual of about 70 pages and found that it took over twice as long to fix the mess that Scansoft PDF Converter made, than it did to completely re-publish the manual grahics and all.If this product was free it would be a poor bargain. ...

AppleWorks features six applications for your core tasks: word processing, page layout, image editing, spreadsheets, databases, and presentations. This version of AppleWorks opens and saves Microsoft Word and Excel files using DataViz translators, and converts your documents to PDF using Print Preview in Mac OS X. You can add text, images, sounds, movies, spreadsheets, charts, and tables to any document by dragging and dropping. For presentations, you can include titles, captions, pictures, music, and video, sort your slides using drag and drop, and prepare speaker's notes for each slide. You can also use an assistant or template to get a head start on your document, and tap an expanding library of Internet-based templates. There are also over 50 fonts in a variety of styles. ...

Appleworks vs Word/Excel
I have been using Appleworks since 1985 and followed it through numerous revisions. Appleworks is very intuitive and easy to use (I find using Word to be a wrestling match between me and the program - it keeps wanting to tell me what I'm doing instead of just doing what I ask it to do).The wordprocessor in Appleworks doesn't have all the bells and whistles that Word has but it can do everything that 99.99% of users need to get done.
AppleWorks is a hands down better value than Excel
AppleWorks is a hands down better value than Excel for 99.9% of the people 99.999% of the time. Excel has become so bloated with unneeded features that it is ungainly. More over the Excel interface changes significantly from version to version and Microsoft has to do things in their own special way rather than following standards. AppleWorks reads in and uses almost all of my old spreadsheets from Excel as well as docs. AppleWorks is much more stable and not a processor hog like Excel.

Go Elsewhere
I'm a huge Apple fan and have been using computers for spreadsheets, graphic design, and word processing for years.I have never in my life found a more poorly considered and executed program than Appleworks.It's translation software from MSWord does not work at all--it deletes large chunks of text, rearranges them, and, all in all, causes more work than simply retyping!Its other features are counter-intuitive and frustrating.If you're thinking about saving money by buying this piece of software, think again.There's far better stuff on the market.You'll regret this purchase. Trust me. ... Read more

THE BEST... DON'T WASTE TIME WITH ANY OHER PROGRAMS!!!!!!!!!
I am a middle school student using a Tungsten W. I use Word Perfect and Quattro Pro(Wish I had Word and Excel), and they work perfectly. Simply install it and it is self explanatory. The only complaint I have is that whenever I sync, my computer changes the font to Courier, although this might be just my computer (Dumb HP!!). I highly reccomend this program, or docs to go 7 if you have palm os 5. Thanks to DataViz, I can finish many homework assignments on the long bus ride home! You wont regret this buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Best Excel Word Viewer For Palm I Have Ever Used!!!
This is by far the best Palm Excel / Word viewer I have ever used!I consider myself to be an intermediate/advanced PC user maintaining over 35 PCs... Take it from a stressed out Facility Manager, I do not have time or spare stress to mess around with junk software. A reviewer noted a problem with DTG not uploading data to his PC.Please note I only need this program as a viewer, and I do not make any changes to the file on the Palm.This potential problem aside, once I installed the program, and loaded my 15 sheet Excel program, I had navigation and all functions I needed mastered in two minutes WITHOUT THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL! >>TinySheet for Excel, which is a different program, bashing begins here>>.I have SUFFERED for more that a year with TinySheet.The Sync never worked correctly.I had to manually add the Excel document to the upload manager which crashed the computer after sync, reboot the PC, and it may work.To update the file I had to delete the file from upload manager, sync without it, and manually add it back in the upload manager to FORCE it to upload.TinySheet bad Documents to Go 5 Good!>>Mobile DB for Excel Bashing Begins Here>>.Since my job is about to double, I WAS (before discovering DTG) looking for something more reliable and less frustrating.I installed Mobile DB for Excel.It seemed to work, but it ONLY supports ONE sheet within Excel (I use 15 sheets), AND each file has to be manually saved as a CSV (comma separated) file which made this program a failure for my needs. I wasted $30.00 on that one... Mobile DB for Excel bad Documents to Go 5 Good! -Psalm 64, God Bless Our Troops!

Creating Documents and Printing from my Palm PDA
I use Docs To Go strictly for word processing, and version 5.0 is definitely an improvement.Typefaces can now be chosen on the PDA; and text is shown in the typeface selected -- which definitely goes a long way towards improving readability.There are also more formatting options (such as bullet points and paragraph indenting).Color is also available either in type or as a background.The net effect is to make document creation (rather than just document modification) a real Palm capability.Read more

Very good software, well, the best for me.
It is amazing software, really smart and pleasure to use. There are some things to improve to my taste, but overall it is definitely worth the money. In two hours of the actual using it appears by far more convenient that notorious MS Office. Extremely rich applications fulfilled by right tools. It is not overwhelmed with unneeded garbage but with smart and well organized things. It's not Word.
Let me make one thing clear: AppleWorks is not Microsoft Word. It is not Microsoft Office. And it is not a substitute for Word or Office, just as a Honda Civic isn't a substitute for a Hummer. It is, however, much easier to use, much less intrusive, and much less expensive. If you need Microsoft Office's features, by all means buy a copy. If you need to exchange files with Office users, it's probably a good idea to buy Office. But If you need to get work done quickly and easily, grab a copy of AppleWorks. All the modules (Word processor, graphics, spreadsheet, and presentation) are seamlessly integrated. Screen clutter is minimal (though the toolbars could be smaller.) Basic (and I stress basic) compatibility with Word and Excel files is included. But its strongest point is its ability to stay out of your way: it doesn't try to reformat your work to suit it's own ends, or make grammatical decisions for you, and the on-line help is helpful, not intrusive.

Easy to use with many good features.
A great application.If you don't want to spend the extra money and get Office X then this is the application for you.It's very easy to use and has a lot of great features like templates and clip art plus, you can make your own templates and clip art.It has many features that Office X has except it doesn't have grammar check.That is the only draw back but half the time I never paid attention to it when using Office 2000 for windows so this isn't a big deal for me.I have converted many documents from Office 2000 to AppleWorks with no problems.I also use it for college and I have yet to feel the need to get Office X.Some other features it has are spell check, a word counter, and it can read back your documents to you!!Try it out.You won't be sorry!I use this application on an iBook running Mac OS X 10.2.4 ...

Installation problems
I purchased CS2 several days ago and still have been unable to install it.My hardware (RAM, harddisk space, CPU speed, operating system) all exceed specifications and yet, CS2 won't install past the initial stages.I followed Adobe's troubleshooting guides, including installation from the desktop and Windows Simplified Mode, but absolutely no success.It's unclear where the fault lies (is it Microsoft Windows XP or Adobe CS2?), but I've never had installation problems with software before and it's hard to believe it would occur with such an expensive package from such a major company.Do check the Forums and reviews prior to purchasing this particular package to ensure you're comfortable with the risk.I hope I can get my money back.

Adobe continues to rule
Before purchasing this package, I read several of the reviews and was scared silly by the warnings.Fortunately, I didn't have any problems loading it and haven't experienced problems using any of the programs.I should add that I am on a Windows XP platform.
Works well.
Maybe I’m just lucky, but I haven’t had any problems with this new design collection from Adobe, which represents good value and tight integration for the packages, with a heavy emphasis on the use of .pdf for reliable output compatibility for printing and viewing.
