Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
As long as e-mail remains the premiere business communication, file compression programs will be necessary. NXPowerLite Desktop Edition stands out in a crowded market by offering plenty of file-managing features and an overall great performance.
Instead of the normal interface most compression programs have, this rather large download boasts a very attractive layout. NXPowerLite Desktop Edition doesn't sacrifice features for looks, though. The program gives you just as many options to manage your files; that is, as long as you're within your free trial, which lasts 30 days. The process of compressing files is quite simple and more advanced with this program as you are able to compress multiple files and folders at the same time and select how you would like to optimize your files. There are four options for optimization at hand: custom, screen, print, and even optimization for mobile devices. After the process is done you can choose to open the files, e-mail them, or zip and e-mail at the same time. To mail your ZIPs, you need to create an e-mail profile. This version has added support to reduce PDF, Microsoft Office 2010, and JPEG files as well as files contained inside ZIP archives. The developers also added Lotus Notes, Outlook Express, and Windows mail integration to automatically reduce attachments as they are sent.
The price for NXPowerLite Desktop Edition seems a bit high, but businesses that deal with large PDF files or Word documents on a daily basis may avail from this program as it's able to drastically reduce files in size without sacrificing the quality.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of NXPowerLite Desktop Edition 5.0.7.
Publisher's Description
From Neuxpower Solutions:
NXPowerLite Desktop Edition compresses PDF, PowerPoint, Word, Excel and JPEG files. Files remain in their original format so no need to unzip. There is no loss of quality when files are compressed. It's really easy-to-use; you can access it from lots of places. It can optimise documents in bulk too. The best thing about it is it works with Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail or Lotus Notes, optimising files as you send them.
What's new in this version: NXPowerLite can now optimize files created by Acrobat X & XI . Resolved a conflict issue with the Empower plugin in PowerPoint. Fixed a bug where the % reduction figure did not make sense when batch processing files. Improved reduction performance and fixed many bugs by upgrading tools and internal 3rd party libraries used.

"Doesn't work"
Version: NXPowerLite Desktop Edition 5.0.7
Pros
Can't find any
Cons
Tried to compress several PDF files, and fiddled with every setting, reducing it right down to minimum, and it still told me it couldn't compress.
Summary
Avoid.

"Works great and super easy to use!"
Version: NXPowerLite Desktop Edition 5.0
Pros
Works just as described! Super easy to use!
Cons
None except it's only a 30 day trial! Wish it was permanent freeware!
Summary
Installed NXPowerLite, opened it, easily found and added my PDF files (Windows Explorer type interface), hit "optimize" and presto ... 70% to 80% smaller PDF files (ie 2995 KB PDF File compressed to a 995 KB File) Opened them up and the quality is as good as original! What an awesome utility program!!

"I couldn't do what I do without this software."
Version: NXPowerLite Desktop Edition 4.1.4
Pros
Converts embedded photographs in my MS Word reports easily and seemlessly and enables me to email them.
Cons
It would be great if it could convert my Word file to a PDF straight after it compresses the photos.
Summary
I write structural reports on buildings containing loads of embedded photographs in Microsoft Word; then I have to email them. NXPowerLite seemlessly makes it possible to email my reports with no loss of photographic definition. Without it, I would have no hope of achieving what I need to.

"Great product, quick and efficient"
Version: NXPowerLite Desktop Edition 4.1.4
Pros
Amazing quality, very impressed with the file quality for such a big reduction in file size.
Cons
Would be great if the product compressed PDF files as well.
Summary
I found the product easy to use and very reliable. It required no guess work as it's compatible with Outlook and other standard Microsoft applications, very convenient. The compression software allows you to choose five different compression options to suit your needs. I would highly recommend this product for it's flexibility and efficiency.

"works very good and is fairly fast"
Version: NXPowerLite Desktop Edition 4.1.4
Pros
Integrates with email and compresses outgoing files.
Cons
The fact that it works automatically with email is also a negative. The program wants to compress every outgoing file even basic spread sheets that are fairly flat. That is unnecessary to me and annoying.
Summary
I do like the product overall but would like the ability to use it only when I want to.
-
