Reply To: Recosoft or Markzware – any pros or cons?

FWIW, here’s what I told a friend who asked the same question recently:

I don’t think there’s a clear winner in the Recosoft v. Markzware battle. Same price, though PDF2ID is perpetual and PDFMarkz is a 1-year sub.

In my experience Markzware is super-responsive to feedback; if you show them a problem they will try to fix it quickly.

PDF2ID gives you options prior to conversion, PDFMarkz is “you get what you get” (which is usually good).

Both are going to give you auto-generated styles and struggle if there’s any flattened transparency.

We reviewed PDF2ID in InDesign Mag 131, and OmniMarkz in CP Mag 18.
