Regarding Fluency, this might have been the case if you referred to Fluency 2011 or 2013 when there was no "Text-only" processing of the source; which is a thing of the past.
Fluency Now works like a charm with complex PDF (other than scanned ones which you have to OCR) and Microsoft Office files. I have translated technical manuals (mostly in PDF format) and economic analyses (in Word only) consisting of 220+ pages, including text boxes and figures, and have had not problems at all.
PS, the developer changed the supported web browser from IE to Chrome.
@ tech-savvy translators
Does this provide more benefits in your opinion?

Fluency 2013 and I gave it up a year ago when I acquired MemoQ. Glad to hear that they have improved their CAT tool.
