Problem is it fails to convert some files.
Except if you convert a file to Repligo, you lose the main advantage of PDFs in the first place - they're a "Portable Document Format" (ergo the name PDF), which means that they can be viewed on a PC, a Mac, a PDA, or any other device capable of reading PDF files, and will look almost exactly the same on each one. So if he needs to copy the file to someone, either he carries a PDF and Repligo version of the file... or he's stuck.

I just wish that Westek would put out a better version of the ClearVue suite - I found it as slow as PocketXPDF for viewing PDF files (it redraws the whole page instead of just what's being shown), but even slower to load files than Adobe.
