Advantages of PDFelement for Desktop than App

There are many advantages to PDFelement compared to the mobile app. While the mobile app can be used for some immediate work on the go, the desktop solution is for the permanent usage.

• Desktop app allows you to do batch conversions, and select a few specific pages in every file. This flexibility is not present with the mobile application.
• There is no OCR capability on the mobile application which is a key feature in the desktop version. Without the OCR capability, the quality of scanned images upon conversion may not be optimum.
• There are no forms template in mobile app. So you do not have the option to create your own form. However in desktop version, you have a complete menu dedicated to the Forms which enables to create your professional outlook and help you have a seamless workflow.
• There are multiple formats that are supported for conversion in desktop app. In case of mobile app, only word, excel and ppt options are currently available which can hinder your progress slightly.
• While the mobile app allows you to convert PDF to word or excel or PPT, it does not have a feature to support the inverse conversion. This is a highlight in the desktop version.

In short, mobile app is good if you are looking to work for a few minutes on some documents and for a faster output. However, Desktop version can help you on a long run.
