Kofax Power PDF Review
We create and edit PDF documents with ease using Kofax Power PDF in our tour and travel company.

"Active Files" dropdown menu makes navigation between several documents simple.

Kofax Power PDF Review
I own a one person company and needed a pdf editor. To edit, make header, combine files etc. Kofax Power PDF does all of these.
- Combine different pdf files into one Make header and/or footer with page numbering Edit pdf's (the text etc)
- When combining pdf's with existing header it is difficult/impossible to keep this if the combined pdf has a different header (this is also issue with Adobe Acrobat). I have yet to encounter any other issues.

Kofax Power PDF Review
I was having issues with Adobe crashing, freezing, etc. so added Kofax as an alternative for pdf viewing, editing, etc. It has worked as advertised.
- Enables me to view pdf's easily and effectively.
- I can edit pdf's for presentations.
- It doesn't crash!
- As with most software, the controls to edit or manipulate documents isn't always intuitive. Partly because I split time between two or three pdf software, but I guess I'm not yet comfortable with it.

Kofax Power PDF Review
This is a product I had used at my previous organization. When I came to my current organization, they used a free online PDF product which worked ok but was very time consuming. I do a lot of combining of PDF's and changes to PDF's and Kofax Power PDF handles these items much smoother than the free online PDF program did
- Adding Text Boxes
- Password Protecting Files.
- Making text changes to existing PDF's that were not even created in Kofax Power PDF.
- No real guidance on usage. I think the program could do so much more than I am using it for, but I don't know what some of the options do, and don't have time to figure them out.
- Some icons are not universal icons so you have to know what they do, or figure that out.
- Sometimes converting PDF's to other MS Office programs doesn't go as expected.

Try this product - Great Redaction Feature
Although purchased for other reasons, I have found this to be a great tool for editing documents which come over by fax. You know, you email a document to someone, they send it back by fax, the top of the paper now has fax source information, page numbers, etc. etc. It just looks bad. We received our faxed electronically, and it takes just seconds to redact that information off of the top of the page. Its so quick and easy.
- Delete information which doesn't need to be on there (hand written notes)
- Recognize words so you don't have to read it all
- It took me a while to find the redaction method

Kofax Power PDF Review
I'm in the legal profession and I used Kofax Power PDF on a daily basis. Bates numbering, rotating pages, joining multiple PFDs into 1 single file, etc. It is the most efficient and easy to use. Have used it for several year now and will keep using it in the future. It has a great tool for making PDFs searchable. Completely indispensable. GREAT. Also, no subscription.
- Bates stamping, rotating pages, combining pdfs into one file, converting PDFS to searchable documents, rearranging pages, and converting to WORD or EXCEL among others.
- Lower the price ;), maintain the size of the window at startup as previous files, and improve the conversion of spanish (special characters as ~, ', etc.

Kofax Power PDF Review
I use Kofax all the time, convert word files to JEPGs , edit PDF file type that are normally not editable and also use for certain file to make them uneditable
- Convert Word-Kofax-Image, convert PDFs to Word or Excel and vise versa, use for documents require e-signature, and much much more - the conversion are smooth and easy every time
- Allows you to pretty much do anything with a PDF file, the file conversions in both directions are seamless and efficient

What a time saver for HR or Legal assistants!
I use Kofax to edit and combine PDFs. I often need to take multiple documents that have been Docusigned to combine into a large file for the client. I'm able to combine files, rearrange the order, delete unneeded pages, highlight sections for the client, redact information if needed, etc. It makes my job so much easier and faster.
- Combining documents easily
- redacting portions of documents
- deleting/arranging order of pages, and altering the images in documents easily
- Adding text fields
- Searching the PDF forms
- instruction/marketing on signatures, and expanding that capability. I use DocuSign now since I'm used to it, but I'd love to switch if it made sense

Kofax Power PDF Review.
Kofax Power PDF is used most days in completing PDF forms for onward transmission. The typewriter feature is very powerful and versatile in the choice of font, color, and size. The ability to highlight areas is helpful in marking up documents. Using the Edit Item has proven to be efficient in being able to modify drawings sent to us as examples of what amendments are needed. Being able to insert PDF documents into a Word document provides an efficient and timesaving element of the program. Reducing the size of large ODF files before emailing.
- Provide a powerful typewriter feature in a PDF. Insert PDF into a Word document. Reduce the size of large PDF files.
- It cannot change the size of a document from say A3 to A4 Sometimes the file size is expanded rather than reduced It is difficult to insert PNG or JPG files easily.

Kofax Power PDF Review.
1. Scanning documents as PDF files 2. Combining PDF files 3. Converting PDF files to MS Word 4. Form creation and filling in
- Scanning, especially manual two-sided scanning.
- Converting PDF to MS Word.
- Form Filling.
- I cannot think of three things that Kofax can do better, but there is one feature I would like to see added. Iris San has a feature called descewing. When you scan documents, it rarely scans perfectly horizontally which makes form filling difficult. Descewing straightens out the scanned document.

Kofax Power PDF Review.
I work with small batches of a variety of documents for different end uses, so I benefit most from using Kofax Power PDF for scanning, processing, converting to text, and optimizing for efficient storage and retrieval.
- Multiple levels of utility make it versatile: Sometimes, a quick scan and save is all that's needed, and sometimes, it's necessary to dig deep into various options to get exactly the right output. Kofax Power PDF gives me choices.
- The wide range of operations possible within this single program means not having to switch to Photoshop or some other app and then back to Kofax Power PDF.
- User-friendly toolbars and menus with logical groupings made Kofax Power PDF easy to comprehend as a new user, and the Help guides are truly helpful.
- I find that quickly editing text within a document or adding a line of text is clunky and can snowball into things popping out of place. I prefer to export text, and then work on it elsewhere.
- Sometimes it seems that text recognition is trying too hard and throws me paper punches as "O"s and wrinkles as shapes, so I have to get rid of those artifacts.
- The "Update Available" popup which is usually not an actual update announcement but rather an offer to sell me something is annoying.

Kofax Power PDF: Better than the Rest
I am the only person in my organization who uses Kofax Power PDF. I mostly use the create/convert assistant feature to create larger documents from individual PDFs. At times, I use the editing feature on Kofax Power PDF to individualize and number student documents using the Bates numbering feature. Before I moved to this job, I worked at a law firm and there we took advantage of all the features- from editing, numbering, creating, converting, etc. It was at that job that I found out about this tool and when I moved jobs I asked my new employer to provide the program for me.
- Bates Numbering
- Searching in the document/ making documents searchable
- Watermarking
- Adding signatures and time stamps
- It loads really slowly
It started out as an experiment for one operator in the accounting department. Soon, everyone else in accounting requested that it be installed on their computer also. Once someone in purchasing saw what it could do and how easy it was to use, everyone in purchasing wanted it too. It has been our go to PDF editor ever since.
- Edit PDFs
- eSignatures and Security
- Converting from other file types.

Best made product for both Marketing and Administration!
This product is very user friendly and has so many great features that help both in my marketing department and my administrative side as well. This is a reliable product and their customer service is the absolute best. I have had no issue that has not been able to either self solved or worked out with they customer service.
- Creating fillable forms
- High Quality Output of Documents
- Saving as High Res Images
- Lag
- Price

Happy with the ease of use!
I love the ease of use, being able to move pages around, rotate and resize. My biggest issue is when taking a document to save as pdf, by system seems to take a very long time to select it. I have tried this with Adobe pdf and have not issues, it is only with Power Pdf.
- Editing existing text or adding new text
- Moving pages around
- Combining alot of pdfs into one
- connection with printing to power pdf faster

Kofax Power PDF is effective and budget friendly
We used Kofax Power PDF as our default pdf reader and editor in an in-house litigation department that transitioned from conventional file organization to a fully paperless environment.
- Easy to use, even for users who had little to no experience with pdf editing.
- Reliable
- Robust - able to do all we needed and more!
- Bates numbering could be made simpler to learn
It's what I use on my personal devices to convert documents into pdf and transfer to my work account. It's been user friendly so far and I haven't experienced any issues using it that way.
- Converts the document into a machine readable document
- Electronically sign a document
- Readable within any pdf program
I use Power PDF to edit / create / export to and from PDF. It allows me to manipulate and create pdf documents as required with a great deal of versatility
- Add or edit text in PDF documents
- Once created, the text box within a pdf document can be a bit unwieldy to manage and change when necessary

Koufax Power PDF Advanced - Highly Recommended
We love Kofax Power PDF. It has been our go-to program for saving, printing, annotating and revising PDFs for many years. It is flexible and easy to use. I love the “typewriter” and “highlight” functions which allow me to communicate information beyond the text of the pdf with my staff and clients.
- Assembling multiple PDFs into a single PDF
- Focusing attention on important parts of a document using highlights, typing and note boxes
- Converting PDFs to Word documents and spreadsheets
- Better “help” functions
I open PDF files for reading, editing, creating and/or printing. I use it to also join existing files into one.
- Editing PDF files is fairly easy, it recognizes the existing fonts, and uses the same font for editing.
- Joining PDF files can be accomplished very easily, and once in, can be rearranged in any order.
- Kofax Power PDF interfaces with PDF files almost as well as Adobe Acrobat.
- I have not experienced any difficulties using Kofax Power PDF
- There is a complaint I might make and that is that in each time I start Kofax Power PDF, it loads in a brand-new instance. In other words, it does not reside in memory as other programs do and it's a bit slower to get up and running. This is not a major issue.
- Also, Kofax Power PDF does not save files in photo formats such as JPEG or PNG, etc.

Should be required for all law-firms that e-file.
Practically everything our law firm does requires online filing of legal documents via e-file. Kofax Power PDF makes this process straightforward and easy for us. We use Kofax Power PDF every single day to manage scans, convert Word docs to PDF, convert images to PDF for inclusion in filings, and to redact filings.
- Rearranging/deleting/inserting pages in PDFs
- Converting multiple files into one PDF
- Annotating other PDFs or images
- Redacting documents
- Text box management
- More encryption options
- Better options for compressing filesizes on large PDFs
August 25, 2023
Great features at a great price
I use Kofax Power PDF to view, edit, convert and sign PDFs. I also use it to combine multiple documents into one easy to share document.
- Converts PDFs to Word
- Allows me to sign PDFs
- Easy to combine multiple documents
- Easy to edit text in PDF
- I think the menu bar is at time not intuitive
- I think it would be nice to have a draw function to sign instead of a multiple step process
Prior to founding my own law firm last year, I had practiced with many large to mid-size law firms and routinely used Adobe Acrobat for PDF needs. I opted instead to purchase Kofax Power PDF for use in my practice and have not regretted my decision at all. It works very well and I am able to use it for a variety of purposes and has easy functionality for editing, redaction, conversion of documents from other formats and most everything a solo practitioner needs in 2023.
- Conversion of documents from Word
- Customizing through editing text in PDF itself
- Redaction
- Ability to move objects from one page to another
- Ease of changing from one tool to another

A very helpful pdf management alternative
We use Kofax for the creation, editing, and management of pdf documents. It is the main PDF software for our company. We also use it for document security and redaction. On a day to day basis we use it for printing to pdf and rotating pdf documents that have been saved in the wrong orientation, highlighting text, adding comments to documents, combining and splitting pdfs. in fact we haven't got round to all the functionality it has.
- converting microsoft files to pdf
- adjusting file orientation
- redaction
- print to pdf
- combining and splitting files
- Speed sometimes its a little slow when a document is first loaded before you can select anything
- make it even more user friendly to access new features using tips perhaps
- in the list of printers Kofax power pdf should be called kofax power pdf not just power pdf it gets missed by staff
