What do you like best about Highland 2?

The ability to convert PDFs back into screenplays. The ability to export the document as .fdx and have it show up totally normal in Final Draft 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highland 2?

It's hard to switch between Highland 2 and Final Draft 10. While Highland 2 is aesthetically pleasing in font and general look, I think that Final Draft 10's spacing is better. It's unfortunate that more schools and companies don't encourage you to use Highland 2. It's a very pretty, comforting, and non-distracting application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highland 2:

You can just copy the PDF into a Highland 2 document but you CANNOT copy the Highland 2 document into a Final Draft 10 document. Just save the Highland 2 document as .fdx and you're good to go! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Highland 2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

No problems. This program once saved me during my graduate studies. I had accidentally deleted an .fdx of my 90+ page script and only kept the PDF. This program allowed me to convert from PDF to .fdx. It saved me from having to redo my screenplay by hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highland 2?

I particularly like sprints and revision mode. Synapsis is also great. It has one of the nicest looking themes I've ever seen which makes it very attractive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highland 2?

I wouldn't say I have found something I particularly dislike. If there is one thing that I could possible change, that would probably be the app's speed. Sometimes it's slightly slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It particularly helps with my focus and organizing my tasks. One thing I really like is being able to set goals. That's really good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highland 2?

Ease of use, ability to take my old scripts in PDF format and convert them into editable documents - as well as output them to Final Draft. Highland 2 is a nice addition to my screenwriting software stable. I use it as an add-on for Final Draft. At some point, it might replace it -- but, at the moment, it's an addendum. And a worthy one at that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highland 2?

I really don't like the look of the pages when I'm working. Final Draft has a cleaner look that I prefer -- but I still find myself using Highland more than I original envisioned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highland 2:

For newbies, Highland 2 will probably suffice as screenwriting software. For us old-timers, who've been using Final Draft for many years, it still doesn't fulfill all the needs of a screenwriter. That said, it is an improvement on Highland. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Highland 2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Importing PDFs is the main reason I bought the app. I also like the watermark feature and the ability to output in both PDF and Final Draft format

(Still essential for film and television production companies). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The actual Script writing. Final Draft intuitively makes the process seamless, Highland, unfortunately does not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
