I prefer PDF Reader Pro over Adobe Acrobat primarily because it is more cost-efficient and provides an advanced suite of features at a more accessible price point.
One standout tool in PDF Reader Pro that enhances my daily tasks as a content writer is its advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature. While this feature is also present in Adobe, I find it smoother and more intuitive in PDF Reader Pro for converting scanned documents into editable text.
This functionality helps me with my research and content creation, making PDF Reader Pro my preferred choice for managing my writing projects.
