Dear List,
The other day I had a cut-and-paste catastrophe involving some files; in
moving from computer-to-flash-to-computer, some didn't make it, and I ended
up having to recreate a lot of extracted, fully laid-out parts from scratch.
I DID have pdfs of all the files that I had created using CutePdf, which I
highly recommend; we use the Pro version at Sarasota Opera, but the free
version has nice features if all you're looking to do is create them. At any
rate, I had a moment where I thought, maybe I could print, scan, and use
SmartScoreLite take a crack at them. But then I read the description and
saw that it would leave too many things to fix. I didn't try it, anyway,
though, so I only have my impression to go on. The upgrade price gave me
sticker shock and I immediately closed the browser window rather than
contemplate it for too long. So, my question is this: does anyone use the
Lite
version of this program, how useful is it as is, and how powerful is the full
version? Is it really worth 200 bucks? I ended up staying up for about
three hours replacing my files; at least my pdfs gave me a guideline to go on
as to what my layout choices had been, and I even found things I wanted to
improve on. So in my case, I don't know that three hours equals $200, but
for others, it may totally be worth it.
Comments, please!
