Kofax Power PDF is an excellent alternative to Adobe
Our entire company has access to Power PDF. Though some of our design staff use another software for its reviewing capabilities, Power PDF is our go-to software for reading, creating, and commenting on PDF files. We find it much more user friendly than similar Adobe products. It's conversion options are simple to use and are good quality.
- Creating accurate PDFs from Word and Excel files
- Can be added to MS Office as an "Add-in"
- File compression features could be better
- Scanning interface could be better

PDF nightmares? Power PDF can solve them.
I use it for legal documents as well as business forms for different industries and also help my attorneys when they need some limited scale OCR. I also do translations, so I use it for export translated documents. One of the best features is to print documents in PDF when the original is protected, and the same judicial branch asks a non-protected hard copy, so you can file a copy of a petition. I use the software to add comments and editing to help the review by other parties. Object editing is another area where the product helps to remove non-focus areas, so it remains only the focused ones.
- Editing Text and Image
- Adding images
- Bookmarks management
- Scanner integration
- Pages Handling
- Convert menu and its help are not easy to understand. Trial and error is the workaround.
- Crop, a pretty simple feature, has a non-intuitive way to perform the crop action. It is not easy to figure out when a crop size applies or not to other pages.
- Typewriter mode looks like the commentary feature or Text editing. I never used as I could not understand the benefits. Maybe a YouTube video would help.
- Fill out electronically an existing hardcopy form. It is unclear whether the product does it.
We use Kofax PowerPDF to create and edit PDF files across our entire organization. I personally use it to trim the PDF of bills from companies like Comcast and Verizon down to the remittance page to pass along to Accounts Payable and to insert my signature into PDFs so that I don't have to print and scan them. Other users create fillable forms for use on our website, modify document content and layout and add or remove pages to create current versions of various forms and policies.
- Managing and inserting digital signatures or images of signatures is quick and easy. Secure documents can be created quickly.
- Modifying an existing PDF is very quick and easy with PowerPDF.
- Creating a new PDF from an existing source is extremely quick and easy. I often have to combine a directory of scanned pages into a single PDF file and I can complete the task in seconds.
- The purple color scheme could be changed to match the new Kofax branding. I find the inconsistency annoying.
- Better scanning integration would be helpful. I haven't been able to get it to scan directly from a Xerox MFP. To be fair, I'm not sure if the issue if with Kofax or Xerox.
- More frequent updates on an easier to get site would also be appreciated.
