Kofax Power PDF's User Friendly Feature Rich Program Creates Efficiencies that Save Time and Money
- Kofax Power PDF provides an easy option to edit or comment on PDF files.
- Kofax Power PDF can quickly convert image only pages to searchable text to help make using longer documents much more efficient.
- Kofax Power PDF allows me to encrypt PDFs and to restrict users' ability to make changes to or copy text. I can comfortably lock down my PDF so that it allows for printing and signing but does not allow the recipient to make changes to the document itself.
- Power PDF helps me to quickly create forms to be used by others with the ability to fill in the blanks and sign the document without manipulating the text.
- Although the program is fairly intuitive, some functions take a little time to master.
- Although Kofax provided a good set of instructional videos on YouTube, they have not continued to add more video trainings for other features.

Kofax Power PDF Advanced - Can't Live Without It
- The ability to attach video and audio files in a simple and efficient manner is invaluable. We use this feature creating trial notebooks for our clients daily.
- The ability to edit in a word processor based format makes editing easy and intuitive. It also speeds our workflow without having to jump around in native programs.
- Reviewing documents is simple and fast with the ability to have several documents tabbed open at one time. It has sped our review time immensely and makes our work easier.
- One thing that was difficult to locate was how to change page view to a single page when opening a document. That's how I like my workflow based on our needs. I finally found it but it wasn't intuitive.
- Setting up e-signatures was difficult and I still don't have it down. The documentation wasn't clear.
January 07, 2022
Excellent alternative to the competition!
- Editing PDFs
- Signing documents
- Combining multiple programs into one spot
- It’s somewhat confusing until you get the hang of it. It took a while to figure out where to insert photos, etc.
January 07, 2022
Kofax Power PDF is Great Alternative to Subscription Software
- Prints PDF format documents
- Combine's pdfs into single documents
- Opens existing pdf files
- Creates searchable files
- Allows editing and comments on existing pdf documents
- Could be some basic training videos
- There may be some but I haven't seen a full list of its functionality
- Increase the ability to reduce files.
- Fill-in Form creation
January 07, 2022
Excellent user experience
- Edits PDFs
- Viewing multiple files in one window (tabs)
- Ease of saving edits (an issue I had with adobe)
- Converting .doc to PDF
- Nothing comes to mind yet
January 05, 2022
Power PDF - Excellent product for all PDF needs
- Printing from ANY program to PDF.
- Converting image-only documents to searchable-text (without losing the image).
- Combining, splitting, re-ordering, and annotating pdf files.
- Add ability to rename a file I currently have open (NOT just "save-as" a new copy).
- Add more user-defined default options.
- Improve file compression of color images of text & background (files scanned from printers are usually fine. Photo originals w/too many colors sometimes get mottled.
- When printing additional pages to an existing document, remove destructive options (i.e.: "replace document") from being the default.

Best desktop PDF application on the market
- Value - Less than 1/2 the cost of Adobe Acrobat.
- Speed - Works fast and is extremely accurate in its conversion, transcription, and form creation.
- Ease of use - I have employees and clients that are not as adept with apps outside of the Microsoft Office suite. However, this was one of the few apps that they mastered quite quickly.
- Compatibility - Integrates into most office suites and windows applications.
- I would love better voice command integration (i.e. Dragon Naturally Speaking).
- A mobile companion app would be great. We do a lot in Android tablets and iPads.
- When the app searches for updates or Kofax news, it opens the link in Internet Explorer. Change that over to Edge or Chrome.

I've got the Power (PDF)!
- Power PDF allows us to set up multiple electronic signatures with unique passwords and settings.
- Power PDF has a good Document Assembly view (similar to slide sorter in Microsoft PowerPoint) that enables the user to inspect the order of pages, insert, delete, and extract pages.
- Power PDF allows drop and drag insertion of PDF documents from file explorer or another window of Power PDF.
- Power PDF includes multiple options for reducing file size of the assembled PDF.
- It is not easy to insert images into a PDF.
- It would be helpful to have a document review interface that allowed checkmarks as an annotation. (Have to use a custom loaded stamp.)
December 16, 2021
Switching is a Breeze - You Won't Regret It!
- Print / Create / Merge Documents into PDF.
- OCR - Converting Scans to Text.
- Track Changes.
- The software is becoming aesthetically dated.
- Speed loading time (Make it easy to disable background processes that I never really use).
- Work out any existing bugs/glitches.

Kofax Power PDF makes large documents easily searchable
- Makes PDFs containing images of text, searchable.
- Allows cut and paste from the PDF into a word document.
- Allows highlighting of key findings within the PDF.
- Sometimes the edit feature segments the PDF document in ways that make cutting and pasting a multi-step process since the entire section cannot be selected at once.
- Making a large document searchable can take 20-30 minutes. It would be great if this was a faster process.
January 17, 2022
Really good for the price
- Signing.
- Editing.
- Building pdf documents from different pdf documents.
- Commenting on drawings or even drawing on them.
- Collaboration possibilities (like Adobe has).
- Profile syncing.
- Signature syncing through platforms.
January 13, 2022
Using Kofax Power PDF leaves me time for lunch
- Combining multiple PDFs into one file using the context menu in Windows File Explorer really speeds up my workflow.
- Scan in content directly from a scanner is a great feature.
- Redaction tool sure beats blacking out text with a marker.
- The software update process is a bit clunky with a separate app to check for updates and update frequency is very long.
- The help content doesn't address the security features.
- It isn't a 64 bit application.

- Slower engine in putting comment in PDF (compared to Foxit).

Kofax TrustRadius Review
- Convert documents to different formats
- Easily fill in blank forms
- Clean up documents that have errors or convert the font.
- Moving the order of multiple scanned documents
- FormTyper doesn't work well with both boxes and lines on the same document
- Using Typewriter is difficult to line up and takes a few tries to do so.
January 07, 2022
A good product with a few shortfalls
- Easy to sort documents.
- Easy to resize copies.
- Processes quickly.
- The NUAANCE Adjustment controls were better than the Kofax version.
- Can't adjust copying as easily as Nuance did with out great effort that can't be remembered.
- Scanning options should be in Heading Bar area for quick access.
January 05, 2022
The absolute best PDF software and it's easy to use!!!
- Full Spread view is my favorite. I love looking at every page all at once
- Easily extract and save a page from a document
- Inserting additional pages is a breeze
- Converting documents to and from a PDF is a simple click and publish.
- Editing the actual PDF is so simple
- No more formatting issues with converting
- It would be nice to have more downloads per license or the ability to deactivate computers if you no longer use them. I actually had to upgrade to Kofax and completely purchase the software again when I quit my job because the Nuance download no longer existed
- The website is not particularly user friendly when trying to purchase
- Having more explanation and an easy way to contact customer service would be a plus
- It would be nice to have more editing options in the PDF
January 04, 2022
I use and would buy again
- Create PDFs. Very good except I cannot convert the body of emails to pDF
- Convert PDFs to other format. Flawless, but I have only converted to MS Word.
- Editing PDFs. Clunky. I cannot keep a change in fonts of size throughout the entire document. I have to set the font and size each time I go to a new line or area - this only applies to non-fillable PDFs.
- Making PDFs searchable. Have not used feature.
- Converting emails to PDFs. I cannot figure out how to convert the body of an email to PDF, just the attachments.
- Converting webpages to PDFs. No issues.
January 04, 2022
Good but needs improvement
- Making forms out of PDF documents.
- Adding headers and page numbers to documents
- Deleting pages from a PDF
- Rotating pages in a PDF. Clients are bad at scanning upside down or not rotated correctly.
- Cropping margins on PDF documents. Some documents are legal sized or have huge margins and cropping them down makes them more readable on screen.
- The PDF printer supplied with the software is the BEST! You can print multiple documents to one PDF by using Append. This is so useful when printing several QB reports to one PDF, or printing from several different softwares (Word, Excel, email, etc.) into one PDF.
- Right clicking on a file or several files in Windows explorer allows you to convert any document to a PDF and combine them. So if you have Word, Excel, jpeg and PDF files, you can select them all and combine them into one PDF, instantly.
- Rearranging pages used to be easier when it was Nuance. The pages were easier to select in the left side panel. Now you can't select the page you're on. And the rearrange feature is not easy to use on large PDFs.
- Making a PDF into a fillable form works well on some pages but horribly on others.
January 04, 2022

Ease of Navigation in the .PDF Document Jungle is feasible....

January 04, 2022

A Very Good New PDF Product
- I can add comments and fill in fillable PDFs using the typewriter.
- It is easy to change fonts and font size when necessary.
- Highlighting and bookmarking are very easy.
- I had to experiment a bit to make the documents searchable.
- It looks like there is a "note" created when I highlight. I also would like to more easily change highlight colors.
