Corel PDF Fusion Document Management Suite [PC Disc]

Less than user friendly. Help seldom is any help.

As expected

I use this primarily to save our emails onto our hard drive or into client job folders. You can print to file and get all the email to and from data and date if you need to show correspondence with customers

Disappointed - not very intuitive. Having used Cored Draw when it first came out (about 15 to 20 years ago?), and having good recollections, I was delighted when I saw that Corel had a PDF program, especially one with plenty of features to take of my modest requirements. Only wanted to take an existing 2 page PDF document, and edit about 8 lines, changing name, phone number, URL, etc. Should be easy right? Should not have to labor thru a manual. Wrong! Selected some text to be edited and a tool bar with about 8 icons appeared. Good start. But, hovering the cursor over the various icons and Corel did not automatically identify their function. So, try one, then another, and Undo undesired changes as we go. Finally, found one that made the changes, but it unbolded the font, when all the surrounding font was bold. Why? Also no option to make it bold, on that simple edit. So, search around to find how to make it bold, and another 10 to 20 minutes blown. This is very basic, and should be EASY. Bottom line, I messed around with it another 1/2 hour, finally found the instruction manual, and the answer is probably there somewhere. But, with all the good intuitive programs that have been developed, especially by experienced companies, like Corel, I would think that they could have done a lot better. This program is reminiscent of the powerful but hard-to-use Nuance programs.

Very functional after a little practice using. Unfortunately, it appears that Corel is discontinuing this product or folding its features into another.

fantastic software and at a reasonable price too. I use it almost daily and it works just like it is described.

Very difficult to figure out how to work the program. I read the directions several times and tried to follow but it will not work. So I enlisted an expert, my son, and he got one thing to work but not the other. With even a cheap program how difficult is it to simply write directions ? If the generation who grew up with computers and cell phones cant figure it out what good is the program? I bought it for a work related task and now it is several days, and I still cant send the document back with the mark-ups I needed. Very poor directions.

The installation gets 2/3 the way through then stops. I am running Windows 7-32 bit. There is no support from Corel on this product. Now I am stuck with useless software--no returns.

We purchased this after using Adobe Acrobat Pro for years but the cost has been getting so high we thought why not try something a little less expensive that seemingly does the same thing. We primarily use this for assembling multiple PDFs into one portfolio, use in contracts, and for setting up brochures using Work, pictures, and other PDFs. This product CHANGES THE FORMATTING FOR BOTH PDF AND WORD DOCUMENTS!! It changes the font, it randomly makes middle of sentences bold. We tested with several documents both in Word and other PDFs and they all had the random font changes and bold formating where there was none in the original documents, both scanned and directly from Word or Excel. I know we cant return software but we will never use this product again and spent the extra money to go back to Adobe. Extremely disappointed, at the very least you should be able to assemble multiple PDF documents into one without any changes happening to the documents.

Using PDF Fusion on several occasions, I was happy with the user interface, the ease of use, and various features. Where the product fell short was the ability to edit PDF files with 50 or more pages and different page sizes. When attempting to amend or create new files from an existing file as such, PDF Fusion would come back with an error saying it can read the file. Thus I would be out if luck for work I need to complete. Had to go elsewhere. If you have simple tasks for PDFs, this product is for you.
