I was a big proponent of Phantom PDF over Adobe Acrobat at my hospital and I was able to convince them to purchase Phantom PDF based on (1) price, (2) ease of use, (3) pdf editing tools, and (4) no bloat in the software. Most of our data has both, so this renders this feature quite useless. We find that we have to constantly make corrections, especially in regards to numbers with commas (for thousands) and decimal points. It does a great job at recognizing written text, but lousy at recognizing numbers in tables of numbers. However, no problems printing the web content using CutePDF.Ī third issue is the OCR character recognition. Whenever we try to do so, the software hangs forever and never ends up printing the web pages. The interesting thing is that if we used the free CutePDF driver, the graphics printed correctly, hence the egg on my face.Ī second issue is printing web information to pdf.
One very common issue is missing graphics. We have had problems printing to pdf from different softwares using the Phantom PDF driver. I was so happy with it that I even convinced the hospital I work for to purchase it. I have been using Phantom PDF Standard Edition for almost a year.
