The compression rate was the best of all of the programs. > > **Cons**: The interface initially was somewhat difficult for me to follow; regular use, and the assistance of Tech Support, greatly assisted in this regard. > > A robust compression and OCR program capable of handling industrial volumes of records. ----- ### "Works perfect" — 4.0/5 > **Ad** | *23 December 2017* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy implementation and easy to use. We have not really found any disadvantages or flows for the software. > > **Cons**: the way the licensing is setup is a little complicated. We rather have a license with unlimited usage > > We had to import in a short time a lot of documents into our document management system and CVISION helped us doing that without breaking our heads over it how to get this done in a timely matter ----- ### "PDF COMPRESSOR" — 5.0/5 > **Suleman** | *10 June 2021* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: So helpful to organisations and individuals to keep files offline or online > > **Cons**: PDF COMPRESSOR software is amazing software but does not always scam artists ----- ### "A workhorse of a product never any issues with the software" — 4.0/5 > **Sharon** | *29 March 2018* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. We have trained multiple staff members and they all have no issues with the product. It works will with our business hub machine. > > **Cons**: License volume not scalable during contract period. Our scanning needs differ from January through December so it would be nice to not overpay some months > > Eliminated need to store medical records. Allowed ease of use for our work from home coders and allows scans to be archived so not continually taking up bits. ----- ### "We originally purchased PdfCompressor licenses to process scans of our local newspaper (1922-1970)." — 5.0/5 > **Fred** | *26 March 2018* | Museums & Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our use is now intermittent, as we scan a variety of historical documents for our museum collection, but the software ease-of-use always allows us to become productive immediately. Scanning may "preserve" the documents, but it's the OCR that makes them accessible to our patrons. The quality of the OCR has been absolutely outstanding\! Having electronically-searchable archives is a great contribution\! > > **Cons**: We would like to share our OCR licenses between two machines, but have not figured out how that might be done. It's a "background" task for us right now, and when it becomes a priority, I'm sure the folks in CVISION will provide us with the right insight. > > We get electronically-searchable museum archives - our patrons get access to thousands of pages of historical documents that they would otherwise be unable to search. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/125555/pdf-compressor?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/125555/pdf-compressor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
