Saves gigabytes of space on our network storage 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.

'Free Trial' was a scam 'Free Trial' was a scam! entered my payment details to try the product for 7 days - it wasnt for me so I cancelled within a couple of hours of downloading it. They took my money anyway. I contacted them numerous times to politely request my money back with proof of my cancellation and got nowhere. eventually had to go through paypal to get them to get my refund which they duly did for me. Thank goodness I used Paypal to pay! Terrible treatment by a company that couldnt care less.

While Phantom FOXIT PDF software is… While Phantom FOXIT PDF software is quite good, the company customer service is atrocious. I have tried emailing, using their direct connection service via their website and even tired posting on their FB page. Nothing it seems will stir them from their slumbers. So my dilemma here is while I would say the actual software does what it says on lid, do not expect any customer support – they really are hopeless. Even cutting them slack for COVID-19 they kept me waiting for over one month to reply, what is going on? Finally I got ‘something back’ but that just faded away too. If you want to connect with these people, it’s probably easier to call Elvis.

There is no other PDF Compression/Conversion Software like this. The software worked excellently and converted my .TIF files to .PDF and retained my folder structure. I was unable to find any other software with these batch features that was anywhere near a reasonable price. This was performed on a server with over 170,000 files and over 1700 nested folders. Overall there were only 2 errors, and those resulted from a corrupted source document. Great software!

Not worth even one star Not worth even one star despite being used for over a year. The real problem started with a machine upgrade at which point I discovered that the registration code didn't work because the original version was no longer downloadable. After some digging I found a page on the support website that "converted" old codes to new, but my original code was declared invalid, despite being printed on the invoice. No access to support either, no human support, no available office in the UK. Forget it, I'll find something else.
