How Kofax Power PDF Differs From Its Competitors

Ease-of-Use

The program takes some getting used to if you are an Acrobat user. The grouping is not the same as you will find in Acrobat, but it is fairly easy to get around in. Users have found that they cannot have very many open windows or the program crashes. For the price, it gets the job done and the …

Features

The combining of documents, bookmarking, and creation of a TOC as well as footers, headers and Bates numbering have been invaluable. Redaction is very handy, but not reliable. It does a fair job downsizing file size and integrating with other programs.

Ease-of-Use

Save my time in assembling documents, and save on paper printing.

Ease-of-Use

Changes to the interface have placed commonly used features on the front menu for ease of access.

Features

On the fly PDF annotations with the Typewriter feature as we document client work as support for tax lodgements.

Ease-of-Use

Kofax Power PDF is very easy to use. I've been using it for several years, and it was easy to learn after Adobe. It helps me log and save documents. It is a pretty light program. It loads quickly and works well in my application.

Features

The form typer feature is particularly useful. It saves a ton of time when someone sends a PDF that needs to be filled out. It enables me to type the form and not have to handwrite it. Also when scanning in documents for storage, it enables me to insert new documents into the correct order and …

Ease-of-Use

The basic functions are easy to use and intuitive. The more advanced functions can take some digging but they all seem to be there.

Features

The ability to convert PDFs to Word documents and Word documents to PDFs is very valuable. The ability to combine, organize, and bookmark documents into PDF sets is a feature I use often.

Ease-of-Use

It is great and easy to use. It allows me to make quick changes to documents.

Ease-of-Use

I can absolutely confirm this. Due to the similarity to MS Office programs, intuitive operation is possible and makes it easier to get started.

Ease-of-Use

Power PDF has definitely been easy to use for us. Even staff who are not particularly tech-savvy are able to use the program with little to no training. I didn't have any issues finding features using the "search" bar at the top and was able to find most of the features without having to dig …

Features

The product features we use the most are the "search and mark for redaction" feature, the converting of PDF documents to Word documents, the "file size reduction" feature, and Bates stamping feature. We also use the commenting features a great deal to pass information back and forth on created …

Ease-of-Use

The transition to Kofax Power PDF was seamless. The interface is intuitive and efficient, allowing me to generate PDF reports of over 100 pages in less than a minute.

Features

The ability to add my unique signature, as well as provide editing access, has been invaluable to my business.

Ease-of-Use

It's great! Like all things new, it took a quick minute to understand, but it's like a well-fit glove now.

Ease-of-Use

I can fully agree. The look and feel of Power PDF is like in MS Office solutions so you will find really easy what you are looking for.

Also the „complex things“ like form recognition are mostly done by one-click buttons or guided instructions. But there is also a good help inside, where …

Features

As mentioned before you are able to add and delete pages to existing documents. Merge several file types (pdf, docx, xlsx, jpeg etc) to a mixed collection, select f.e. only single pages out of the documents and store this as a new PDF.

Transform non-searchable pdfs to searchable ones (OCR PDF). …

Ease-of-Use

Kofax is easy to use even for our most technically challenged users

Ease-of-Use

I found Kofax Power PDF easy to use, and I especially appreciate the ability to bookmark frequently used tools for easy access.

Features

The ability to edit documents, rotate pages, and add pages to documents have been the most beneficial to our business.

Ease-of-Use

Power PDF is exceptional--we have very few questions from new users who are given the software as part of their standard deployment with a new computer. Most have had experience with other PDF editors and find the transition is very simple. The look and feel of Power PDF mirroring Office 365 makes …

Features

One of the most widely used features is redaction for court-centric documents. We also use Power PDF extensively to create documents for the public and for our main website. We also use it for interacting with other government agencies where we need to be sure the information provided is exactly …

Ease-of-Use

Yes, I would say it is quite easy to learn, and quite intuitive. The ribbon system (similar to MS Word) is a good way of organizing tools. Search is useful to find tools when I do not know where they are.

Features

Document assembly is invaluable for completing all kids of reports (to banks, clients, etc.) Stamping with stamps is also helpful.

Ease-of-Use

Kofax is a great tool when working with PDF's. It is very intuitive and easy to learn. The features are perfect to meet my professional office needs. I especially like ability to edit documents with ease. Although one of my co-worker's favorite features is creating fillable forms. …

Ease-of-Use

I feel like overall it is easy to use, there is just not great communication from the company. We had trouble renewing our subscription this last time which took several days to finalize. The website and instructions to download the program were very hard to track down. Our company does save tons …

Features

I love the edit text and typewriter feature. this helps me to edit or add things to my documents as needed. I also like being able to combine multiple documents into one file. Insert and extracting pages help for editing as well!

Ease-of-Use

It is easy to use but the menu is not laid out in a very intuitive manner. The product itself is not complicated, however, the editing and manipulation of files is typically a multi-step process. The required options are not laid out in an inefficient manner, for example, content redaction is a 3 …

Features

The most valuable options provided by Kofax are:
- File editing, commenting
- Security features to protect file content and restrict user interaction
- File conversion options are also successful with regards to MS Word, Outlook and PowerPoint (not as efficient with Excel) and also with image files …

Ease-of-Use

It took some getting used to thanks to decades of using Adobe. But I’ve found it’s very easy to use. Ease of use is a big deal to me. If I have to think hard about navigating a program that is designed for daily use, it’s not worth it. I’ve found Kofax Power PDF to be worth it!

Features

The ability to convert PDFs to other formats, combine PDFs, delete pages from PDFs, and edit PDFs are Kofax’s most powerful features for me.

Ease-of-Use

It definitely is easy to use, and there is a pretty good helpdesk if you can't find a certain tool. Our company uses the program in a very specific way but having a go-to program for form markup has really helped us advocate for our system to potential clients. It's a great sales tool.

Features

We used the form markup tool and digital signature field the most. Since thats the item we use the most we havent gotten to explore all features but hopeuflly we will in the future

Ease-of-Use

I have used other .pdf conversion programs in the past, but Kofax Power PDF is by far one of the best. It is so easy to use - just a click of the icon and it does the rest. Although it does not automatically name the converted documents, re-naming is a breeze. The best part of Kofax Power PDF is …

Features

The reverse .pdf to WORD conversion is a true time saver for me. There are many records which need to be summarized and the reverse conversion creates the ease and flow of being able to just click a few icons and my records are ready for summarizing without having to re-type each record.

Ease-of-Use

It is very user friendly. Very seamless in working with other computer programs.

Ease-of-Use

Yes, overall, I think the software is pretty easy to use and straightforward. If you haven't used PDF software before then it might be a little bit of a learning curve regarding all the features.

Features

Table of contents builder has been most helpful. Form builder as well.

Ease-of-Use

I found it very easy to use once I learned to parse its grammar. There are only a couple of small things I’d do to improve it. (Having the index options all be on one tab instead of two, e.g.) A co-worker at a different business taught me to use it in 10 minutes and when I moved here, I encourage …

Features

The ability to add an index to a 1000+page document has been a huge plus for us. Occasionally I need to print these documents (don’t ask... I know it’s a lot of paper but the customer gets what they want in this instance) and adding tabs where there are chapter breaks then being able to indicate …

Ease-of-Use

I actually feel it takes a while to learn the functions I need and the names on the toolbar are not intuitive.

Features

The redaction tool and the ability to convert pdfs to readable format
