Nuance Software Enhances Microsoft Office®
2016, Windows® 10 and Touch-enabled 2-in-1 Hybrid Device
Productivity, Accessibility and Document Security
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), a leading provider
of speech and imaging solutions, today announced Power PDF 2
software which makes it easy for businesses to gain control over
PDF workflows with the ability to create, convert, edit, assemble
and securely share PDF files. Delivering enterprise grade
capabilities that business users require, Power PDF combines
usability, compatibility and security corresponding to the
overwhelming successful strategy Microsoft has employed for Windows
10. The software exposes these features through an intuitive and
familiar Microsoft Office® look and feel that also supports
Windows® 10 touch-enabled 2-in-1 convertible laptop devices similar
to the Microsoft Surface™.
“Nuance Power PDF 2 addresses the needs of the more than 270
million active Windows 10 users by delivering PDF software tools
that conform with their familiar Microsoft Office 2016 experience,”
said Holly Muscolino, research VP, printing, imaging and document
solutions for IDC. “It provides an impressive array of features
specifically designed to make business staff and mobile
professionals more secure and productive, with pricing and
licensing structures that makes it easy and cost effective to
deploy in large and small organizations.”
Power PDF 2 speaks to the growing need for business software to
support touch-enabled hybrid devices, spurred by the user adoption
of Windows 10 and next generation hybrids. It provides the
convenience to navigate, draw annotations and type using a tablet
or notebook and a pen or finger so users can be productive in the
office or on the go. The software has a “touch mode” option on its
Quick Access Toolbar to optimize the size of toolbars and tool
icons so they are easy to press and navigate with a finger.
The primary requirements for businesses switching PDF software,
are ease-of-use and the ability for their staff to adopt their new
software as quickly as possible. Power PDF is purpose-built to meet
these demands, while providing a rich set of features tailored to
business PDF use. “Even though I'm well versed with all of the
digital nooks and crannies of Adobe Acrobat I didn't skip a beat
when I started using Power PDF.” said Ernest Svenson, Esq. “So if
you know how to use Acrobat the transition to Power PDF will be
seamless and near instantaneous.”
The modern, intuitive user interface of Power PDF 2, is modeled
after the latest popular Microsoft ribbon interface, which allows
users to work with the same navigation experience they have in
Microsoft Office. The interface includes a “find a tool” search
capability that enables users to quickly find any tool or
functionality in the application. The enhanced Quick Access Toolbar
allows users to create shortcuts to frequently used functions.
Smarter and More Powerful to Use – in Office or On the
Go
Power PDF 2 features the richest set of capabilities for
collaborating and securely sharing PDF files with colleagues and
customers. The software provides all the tools needed to annotate,
mark up, sign, secure, redact and compress PDFs, and create and
work with PDF forms, making it easy to edit and publish PDF files.
Users can quickly convert files from Word to PDF and from PDF to
Word with extraordinary compatibility, accuracy and
reliability.
