Power PDF Advanced Edition - FAQs
Licensing & Business Value
Is Tungsten Power PDF Advanced a one-time purchase?
Yes. Power PDF Advanced is sold as a perpetual license. Unlike Adobe Acrobat Pro, there are no monthly or annual subscription fees. Once you buy it from Wisecomm IT, you own the specific version of the software indefinitely.
What is the difference between Power PDF Standard and Advanced?
While the Standard version covers basic editing, Power PDF Advanced is built for business. It includes exclusive features like permanent redaction, Bates numbering, DocuSign integration, and the ability to connect directly to Document Management Systems (DMS) like SharePoint and iManage.
Can I manage multiple licenses for my team?
Yes. Power PDF Advanced is designed for easy deployment across organizations.
Security & Legal Compliance
Does Power PDF Advanced support Bates Numbering?
Yes. Power PDF Advanced allows legal and medical professionals to apply customized Bates numbering schemes to large document sets, ensuring organized and compliant record-keeping.
How does the redaction tool work?
The advanced redaction tool allows you to search for and permanently "black out" sensitive data like credit card numbers or names. This is not just a graphic overlay; it removes the underlying metadata to ensure the information cannot be recovered.
Is Power PDF Advanced 2025 compliant with accessibility standards?
Yes. The 2025.3 version supports PDF/UA-2 standards, ensuring that your corporate documents meet global accessibility requirements (such as Section 508) for users with disabilities.
Workflow & Integrations
Can I sign documents electronically within the app?
Yes. Power PDF Advanced features native integration with DocuSign and Tungsten SignDoc. You can sign, send, and track legally binding electronic signatures without ever leaving the PDF interface.
Which Document Management Systems (DMS) are supported?
Power PDF Advanced integrates seamlessly with Microsoft SharePoint, iManage, NetDocuments, OpenText eDOCS, Worldox, and cloud services like Box, Google Drive, and OneDrive.
What is a "Watched Folder" in Power PDF Advanced?
This is an automation feature that monitors a specific folder on your computer or server. Any file dropped into that folder is automatically converted to a PDF or processed based on your pre-defined rules, saving hours of manual work.
Technical Performance (2025 Updates)
Does Power PDF Advanced work on Windows 11 on ARM?
Yes. The 2025 release is a native 64-bit application that fully supports the latest hardware, including Windows 11 on ARM (e.g., Copilot+ PCs), providing maximum speed and battery efficiency.
Can I convert scanned documents into Excel or Word?
Absolutely. Power PDF Advanced uses the world-class OmniPage OCR engine to convert complex tables and scanned text into perfectly formatted Microsoft Excel, Word, or PowerPoint files.
How does Power PDF Advanced compare to Adobe Acrobat?
Power PDF Advanced provides a near-identical feature set to Adobe Acrobat Pro but at a significantly lower total cost, typically saving organizations up to 70% over three years. It utilizes a familiar Microsoft Office-style ribbon interface, requiring minimal training for teams already comfortable with Word or Excel.
