Best cert software

[GMES]

I know there are a few threads out there but it's sunday morning, so I thought it was a steady thread to post.
I am looking for the best software for doing all the certs.
I have a bit of a mixed bag of stuff but really want something that is the bees knees, I know Pirform and easycert can be expensive with the annual renewal but I don't mind the cost as long as it is right for the job.
Murdoch very kindly sent me a copy of one of his certs using Pirform and I was very impressed with the professional look of it.

So come on guys give me some help, I am looking to buy or get some this week
Pros and cons needed, I am not going to review them online because each company are going to big up their own software, I want to hear from guys I trust on here.

Ps remember most of my work is industrial so the software must consist of all the multiple boards etc, continuation sheets etc.

I use icertifi for my own work but the firm I'm subbying to at the moment have the latest version of the amtech software and have given me an ipad with the amtech software on to use on the site they've based me on (gas fired power station) I've been too busy at the moment to sit and have a decent play on it but it seems half decent from what I've seen of it so far, might be worth checking out

Quick question on pirform, I take it you can print blank certs to hand write on site if required.

Yes, I have created a "dummy" cert of each type and then a PDF, so I can print the PDF from my laptop anytime.

Also you can print circuit charts too - but the facility isn't well known!

Where do you find the circuit chart bit?
Or do you just print the individual page with the circuit details?

Oer - that shouldn't be that small!

So it prints in portrait, which I then laminate and give to the client.

Right Guys Just to let you all know I bit the bullet and just bought Pirform Premium edition £200 + vat.
It had better be worth it.
Thanks for all your input and a special than you to Murdoch for his input in my decision.
I just need to learn how to work the bugger now!

Murdoch ring them and see if you can get commission
