Customer Testimonials

We are very satisfied with Universal Documents Converter, which we use many times every day. We are mainly using the Universal Documents Converter for converting our original Word documents to PDF, which we are distributing among our customers and service offices. As it is only a printer driver and NOT a program which start the conversion it is fast and easy for us to use.	We produce monthly reports that go out to exec members of the organization. These reports are produced in Excel and all the results are collaborated on a slide deck with spend analysis and information. We use the Universal Document Converter to copy the analysis to the slide deck. Before the Universal Document Converter the total file size of the slide decks were huge. Now using the Universal Document Converter we can get the file size down half as much...	In our department we are creating documents with Microsoft Access and Microsoft Visio. In the past we had first to print these documents from the both applications and then to scan them to TIFF format for archiving. Now we are using Universal Document Converter, which enables us to save a lot of time and paper. Furthermore, this software is able to generate one multipage TIFF file from the both applications.
