Reviews & Testimonials

	August 27 th, 2007 – PC Magazine: "...The application doesn't cost much, and ....if you're like most users, deskPDF gives you all you need."
	August 2nd, 2007 – The Gadget Site: “Creating PDF files has never been easier with DeskPDF Professional. Why spend $300 buck for Adobe Acrobat when you have an alternative like DeskPDF Professional. The program is simple to use. Simply install. And best of all affordable for all with first class support.
	August 1st, 2007 – Legal Management: “Docudesk’s deskPDF Professional v2.5 delivers easy-to-usePDF creation to every desktop with advanced features in a cost-effective, deployable solution. In one step, users can create a secure, feature rich, portable PDF fully compatible with Adobe’s Acrobat Reader.”
	July 30th, 2007 – Geek.com: “The application itself installs as a printer so to print whatever you want to PDF simply print the deskPDF printer; a couple of clicks later, and you’ll have a PDF that you can send. It’s really just that easy. Another nice feature is the Convert with deskPDF shortcut that the program places on your desktop. Instead of printing to the deskPDF printer, as mentioned above, you can easily drag whatever item you want turned into a PDF onto the shortcut.”
	July 16th, 2007 – NWAnews.com: “This program allows you to drag most document files to the icon and drop them, and the program instantly turns the document into a PDF file. PDFs are a universal format and are very popular with businesses. Ordinarily, you would use Adobe Acrobat software to create such files. But Acrobat costs $ 299 for the full version. The beauty of deskPDF is that it costs a tenth of Acrobat.  Amazingly, the program does quite a bit for so little money. It converted most of the files I tried quickly and easily, and they all looked sharp.”
	December 13th, 2006 – Session computing: “I was thrilled with the ease of install, configuration and use of deskPDF Professional TS.  The product appears mature, with many features requested by end users. I found docuDesk Professional TS to create PDF files of equal quality to those created with Acrobat Professional, while using significantly less system resources, allowing for better scalability and end user user experience.  deskPDF Professional TS offers advanced PDF creation capabilities, enterprise scalability and centralized management for a fraction of the cost of Acrobat Professional.”
