I must admit that the download time restrictions are a bit stringent. I feel Kofax should allow you to download the version you purchased, unless this has changed recently. And the real gripe, is that they want you to pay extra to have access to the download link for a longer period of time. If this was replacing a physical program disc, I could understand, but a download link? Really? Also, I had a unique scenario, where the preview method in File Explorer (Windows o/s) would display a black screen only and not the PDF. The fix took nearly four months! I use that preview feature religiously, and for the fix to take 4 months, that was discouraging. However, I had some other interactions with support over the years that were more expedient and thorough. Hence, I didn't rate lower, but due to the above issues, I felt I couldn't rate higher, either.

Every time I talk to them, they could give me a clear solution or a clear answer. Waiting times were excellent. Support web pages have a record of all support interactions and the product that you own. Again, if Product Help was better, it would save hundreds of minutes of support. YouTube videos would really help.

Kofax, a good PDF Option

Their support is great and responds quickly to any problems. They also have phone and email support which is not always available at other pdf companies. I would say they have great support so it is worth keeping this in mind, when you need to move the license to a new pc you want a good support team in case their are any issues.

First, any customer support that quickly puts you in touch with an actual human being gets bonus points. When that first contact person actually knows the solution and helps immediately, I can't help falling in love with the company. That's what I get with Kofax Power PDF.

I haven't had much interaction with support for this product as it is relatively easy for me to use and intuitive. When Kofax acquired the program it rewrote some of the features and I think I reached out for help at one point but tech support provided a quick answer. I did have a very positive experience with the sales staff who helped me get a discount on the current version because I'm a long-time user.
