Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Very comprehensive set of APIs that allow the developer to create complex applications. The support has also been excellent. A very high quality SDK for all things PDF. As I understand it, it's based on the same code that Adobe products (e.g. Acrobat) use for PDFs, with some additions. That makes it essentially the reference SDK for PDF. The included support can be very helpful. Can be used with C#, Java, and C++. - It has one of the largest collections of PDFs. - There is a lot of variety for all the genres. - It has an easy and simple UI. Adobe PDF library is a nice and fancy tool. It has a lot of options and choices to choose from. Recommended. It makes it easy for managing documents. It offers files type conversion with a PDF reader. Very easy to use. Easy to create, edit documents and read large PDF files. Cons Because there are so many APIs, it takes a while to fully understand them and how they are used together. It's for-pay closed-source software. Has a bit of a learning curve to get started, at least when used with C++. Probably not a good match for very small projects. - The price of the software and PDFs is quite expensive. I liked the platform so far. I don't have any cons as such. It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Product works as expected. Well fit to any environment, especially a Cloud environment. Installation is simple and easy to work. 1. PrizmDoc architecture is extremely flexible. It allows server-side and UI integration the way your product needs. 2. PrizmDoc Viewer supports quite a lot of file formats for viewing in HTML5 browser. 3. The skin of the PrizmDoc viewer is fully customizable as per our needs. 4. Supports native view, redactions, annotation, markup burning, and much more. Great product with nice features and design. PrizmDoc provides good support and is easy to use product. thump's upppp !! We are using self-hosted Accusoft PrizmDoc Viewer to display PDF and documents of other formats within the web browser and without the need to download and open the file in an external viewer. We were able to customize the solution for our needs to control the dissemination of sensitive documents and to better comply with PHI regulations. The Annotation feature of the Viewer is something we were also able to customize for our specific application and it's served us well. Certain components, which we required, were missing out of the box, but our development team was able to add those. The support team for PrizmDoc is very knowledgeable and always comes through for us when we reach out through the ticketing system. Easy to implement, a deployment that matches our architecture, and a great range of capabilities. Cons Compatibility with Microsoft Office is an issue for us as the Editor operates via Linux/ Docker only. unfortunately, almost everyone uses MSO and Word styles and fonts are not displaying correctly. 1. There needs to be a better log file rotation mechanism for the PrizmDoc server, especially when the size of generated log files is humongous. 2. The space and time to create PrizmDoc viewing packages can be improved. 3. Inverse redaction (ability to unmask a user-defined area within a larger masked area) is not possible. UI should be more user-friendly and have some consideration on pricing. PrizmDoc Viewer was missing certain features, which would have been nice to have out of the box: 1. The ability to display bookmarks in the viewer sidebar from PDF files (and possibly other file formats). Currently you have the ability to see page thumbnails in the sidebar, - we would like to be able to access PDF's bookmarks in the similar sidebar natively using the PrizmDoc Viewer. 2. Having the ability to configure the viewer to be able to have all the document pages cache locally in-browser upon viewing. We often receive the feedback that when scrolling through the large documents the viewer takes longer time to load the pages (even if they were loaded and viewed previously in the same viewing session). We asked for this 2+ years ago: https://ideas.accusoft.com/ideas/PDV-I-656 3. Need a better way to deal with password protected PDFs - something that has been requested here: https://ideas.accusoft.com/ideas/PCC-I-457 4. This isn't much of a con, but more of a wish - it would be great to have some sort of an administrator console or dashboard to have visibility into the document pre-conversion, caching and disk usage for the PrizmDoc Server and PAS. Having stats and ability to drill down into how many documents are cached, when the cache is expiring and how much space is taken on disk by the cached documents would be a great way for administrators to provision server resources and troubleshoot any issues. None so far. Wish there was more focus on expanding existing capabilities instead of new products.
