Nuance PDF Converter Professional 7 is the smarter PDF solution for business users. Combining powerful functionality, built-in intelligence, superior Microsoft Office support, and ease of use, it provides everything you need to create, convert, edit, assemble, and securely share PDFs for improved productivity, collaboration, and compliance.

Nuance PDF Converter Professional gives you extensive control over your PDF files through an easy-to-use browsing and reading interface. You can edit pages and documents, annotate and review them, adjust document security, sign your documents and more. PDF documents can be compiled from different sources and pages can be rearranged.

This is where Nuance can come handy with its online conversion service that's made available for the free edition too. If a lot of us do switch over, it could be for this ability. Using the online OCR and converter, PDF documents can be securely uploaded and converted to Word, Excel or RTF (Rich Text).
