I don't know whether this makes any difference or not, I'm looking in the App Store now and Fine Reader available for $109.00 is labeled as "Fine Reader Express", I was under the impression that the other version available from the web site was "Fine Reader Pro"? I've used the Windows version of Fine Reader and I can tel you that there is quite a difference between "Express" and "Pro", one that comes to mind is the flexibility of exporting to various formats including PDF, with the "Express" version these features have been chopped but are available in the Pro version, I'm assuming the Mac platform for the product is the same.
