Our employees like this product for its simplicity and the price.
More the application has a Microsoft Office look like interface, which make it easy to understand and use.
An important factor is the price. Compared to the big actor - Adobe, it makes a great difference on the budget.

This program can do everything that acrobat can do. Kofax PDF is priced so that we can afford to purchase for more employees when we need to. Since we are hoping to grow exponentially in the next few years, this product will be the one we go with. I'm very happy with Kofax Power PDF

It was very easy to learn the software and find the features I needed, and I was able to use the help menu for any questions I had. Staff was easily able to start using with no additional training. It easily works with things created in Adobe - handling field forms just fine.

I have been using this product for many years with no issues. It allows our team to handle tasks at a faster rate and more efficiently. We have moved fully digital over the last 2 years and Kofax has allowed us to do this smoothly. It’s also nice being able to make edits to a pdf if needed. I have also had some technical issues with getting setup and Customer Service has always been easy to work with and I would recommend to others.

The main reason is that Kofax offers a product instead of a service. Meaning that we have the option to purchase a licence with a one-time charge, instead of a recurring fee like the competitor.
The other reason is that Kofax Power PDF provides the same functions as the other PDF tools which makes it easy for our company to go with Kofax instead of the others.

Hands down, the best pdf solution for heavy users on the market. The most important demands of professionals is reliability, speed and all-in-one functionality. Kofax PDF is truly irreplaceable here, the other pdf solutions may be better is some specific applications, but overall, nothing comes close in terms quality.

I could not do my job without it. It does everything I need it to do, including putting Exhibit Sticker stamps on it. The menus are simple and clear, and if for some reason I cannot find a tool, I can search for it. I can flatten a document for faxing or other purposes. The redacting is simple to understand with multiple options available. Bates numbers can be placed wherever I want them, and use my choice of numbering style. If you remember to create/save that as a type, you can even have it begin the next document at the next number in the sequence. Especially useful over years of discovery responses. I feel like this program works with me, not me fighting it to get done what I need it to do.

When I took my current position just over a year ago, this is the only program I asked my new employer to purchase for my use due to the time savings and resources that Kofax Power PDF provides in my practice. A year later, I have not asked for any other "specialty" software for my practice. I also have a second copy that I purchased for myself for use at home. I can't imagine working without it.

Kofax is a powerful and easy-to-use PDF production program. It has a robust feature set and works well in a legal consulting and litigation support environment. It is easily expanded to multiple team members and has easy-to-use collaboration tools. The cost of the product is well worht the investment and the ROI for time savings which can be devoted to other projects.

Has all the tools you need in a PDF. For many, PDF is for viewing but sometimes you do not know what you can do until you start diving into all the features. This has been more of an evolution to how we utilize PDF. Seems like every month there is something new we are using we didn't use before.
