Okay, I know I have seen multiple articles dealing with PDF software but I can not seem to find them on the list. I need to upgrade from Nuance's PDF Converter Pro 7.2 and figure I might as well look at other options. I need something that I can use digital signatures with.
Thanks

I started using Nitro Pro 10 about a month ago, and it seems to do everything I need including digital signatures with protection. For $160 I think it is well worth it. I haven't figured out how to change paper sizes yet. but once I get into it, I don't think it will be to difficult.

I have used Acrobat and Nuance and we have Bluebeam here now. Bluebeam is pretty good for doing markups, I guess, but not a whole lot better than Nuance for general document handling. Acrobat is still the gold standard.

I'll second the vote for Nitro Pro. I've used it for years with digital signatures & digital certifications. Works easily and easy to customize the way they work. Nitro Pro also has a huge variety of features for editing/extracting/converting pdf files. Next best thing to full Adobe Acrobat Pro (which I abandoned in favor of Nitro Pro).

Bluebeam pays for itself with the ability to compare two versions of the same drawing PDF and create a report highlighting the differences. I do all my plan markups in Bluebeam now and just email the mark up reports to my techs.
Why not stay with the original PDF creator? Adobe PDF Pro?
The CS2 version is a free download. Just do google search for it. It has been free for several years now.
I just find the pdf files created from Adobe are "clean & crisp" or maybe it's just my imagination?

Acrobat
I use a couple different versions of Nitro PDF depending on which computer I am on. I have been very happy with it.
I am not a power user by any means, but it does what I need it to do.
I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. It has some nice features like save as XLS or Word. It is not perfect but it is good. I also use the digital signature feature for almost everything.
I use Foxit Phantom PDF. I learned about this from a poster here. Good stuff.
I add my weight behind Bluebeam
They have excellent support, when needed.
I have Foxit but not used other than a test to see if my PDF's work.
Occasionally I get a response the recipient can read my PDF.
Bluebeam could have some better markup text editor though.

What's wrong with using Nuance PDF Coverter Pro 7.2 for digital signatures? It works for me.
One more vote for Bluebeam. I have used their Revu CAD edition for several years and love it. It has a familiar interface that makes me forget I'm not in cad, it does a great job of batch plotting cad drawings, and I think it creates great documentation for quantity takeoffs and exports the information to a spreadsheet. You can also use it as a web browser. When I lived in Houston, I always used it for browsing the HCAD site. It works well with any site where you view and download PDF files. It also has plug ins for Autocad, Word and Excel. Highly recommend it.
