Adobe® Acrobat® Professional or Workshare Professional?

Professional Free Trial

Adobe® Acrobat® Professional is a common tool for publishing final documents to PDF, but it is not the best solution for most users who work on documents. Workshare provides more features and benefits, and provides more security than a traditional PDF, all within Microsoft Office.

Workshare Professional’s document audit and tracking features provide the proof and visibility that document lifecycles are accurate, controlled and comply with organizational quality processes.

Business Professionals should not settle for products such as Adobe Acrobat for document control and compliance. Acrobat not only takes you out of the Office system causing fidelity loss, review inefficiency of 400% or more, and lost document masters throughout the document lifecycle, but it produces unsafe, un-auditable and non-compliant document version control.
