About Power PDF
 

Is Power PDF a subscription?

Power PDF is a perpetual license, which means once you buy a license, you own it forever. If you purchase an individual license, there are no additional monthly or annual fees.

Business volume licenses are available with annual term contracts which include updates, upgrades, and extended tech support.

 

What is Power PDF compatible with?

Power PDF Advanced and Standard versions 3.1 and higher are compatible with Windows 8.1 through 11 (32 and 64 bit), and the software is fully integrated with Office 365, so you can utilize the features of Power PDF from within your favorite Office apps including Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

Power PDF for Mac is compatible with all versions between 10.15 and 14.

Power PDF Business volume licenses include support for Citrix, Microsoft App-V and Windows Server deployment.

 

How Does Power PDF Compare to Adobe Acrobat?

Power PDF has been the top Acrobat alternative for many years, especially after Adobe moved to a subscription model.

  • With an Office-style interface, it’s instantly familiar and easy to use
  • Because Power PDF is not cloud-based, your documents are yours. There also won’t be the constant security patches and hacking risks that Adobe has.
  • Power PDF costs significantly less, whether you choose a perpetual or term license. Our desktop products are all perpetual, so buy once and own it forever with no endless subscription fees.
