How Kofax Power PDF Differs From Its Competitors

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

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 functionality is there, and for the most part the ease of use is there. However, as mentioned before, the highlighter function takes some getting used to.

Features

The ability to compile multiple pdfs into one, and the typewriter function.

Ease-of-Use

Kofax Power PDF has been easy to use from day 1.

Features

The ability to add text, crop and covert documents to an editable PDF have been the most useful features.

Ease-of-Use

Kofax Power PDF is intuitive and easy to use. It has great output quality while reducing file size. This is critical for sharing. Also, due to its ease of use, it is the go-to tool for my team used daily.

Features

We frequently use the merge feature to combine different types of files.

Ease-of-Use

Power PDF is very simple to use. Almost self intuitive, very easy to use.

Features

Being able to convert word and excel files to PDF is very easy. Converting them back again is also a snap.

Ease-of-Use

Yes, it is very easy to use and has improved with each new version.

Ease-of-Use

Very easy to learn the basics but there are also very helpful tools that you can learn.

Features

Conversions from Excel/Word to PDF and the use of splitting and combining PDF files.

Ease-of-Use

It was very easy to adjust to after using Acrobat

Ease-of-Use

So far we have used it to create forms for employment. People are adapting to use online forms and no fax machines or paper This format will soon take over.

Features

Allow quickly to send PDF documents around the world Sometimes other countries use other formats Jpeg HTML and we are easily available to convert.

Ease-of-Use

Sorry, I found it very difficult to use; I liked Nuance MUCH better, and am very happy to have returned to it.

Features

None. I love the Nuance version, because it makes my editing very easy, without a million choices to figure out (hey, what can I say - I'm an old guy who can't take too much change!).

Ease-of-Use

Very simple to use and work with the available functions.

Features

Being able to easily combine files by printing to the same file name and add to it. Not offered by ADOBE.
No training required Perfect for everyday use.

Ease-of-Use

Yes, Kofax pdf is very intuitive and easy to use

Ease-of-Use

The layout takes a little getting used to. And some of the items are not located in the ribbon where you think they should be. However, as with everything, with time, it becomes a preferred aplication.

Features

It is especially agile at recognizing high-density technical jargon text grids off of other pdfs and allowing me to port them into other file types.

Ease-of-Use

I love how easy it is to convert PDFs into a usable format. I also like how easy it is to capture JPEGS and make photo files. The software is intuitive and easy to use. The graphic UI makes perfect sense. The menu options are all right where they should be.

Features

I enjoy the ease of the many features Kofax Power DKF offers such as converting paper documents into PDFs and the ability to search, cut/copy and paste. Also, JPEGS can be made from PDF documents.

Ease-of-Use

Speed and ease of use are qualities that keep me with Kofax Power PDF. It also seems to be a stable platform that has never given me problems.

Features

I use the editor to touch up documents as a time saver. I also use editor to markup drawings with edits and corrections. Doing these activities in a PDF environment are a big time saver.
