Default Bleeding brakes - ok to use a pressure bleeder?

I've got a 2012 S60 D3 and need to change the caliper next week (it's sticking on). I've read a Volvo guide that describes bleeding the brakes by pumping the pedal. I'd rather use a pressure bleeder since doing the job on my own. It is okay to use a pressure bleeder on a 2012 S60? Any reason why VIDA only suggests doing it by 'foot'?
