Kofax Power PDF Review
We use it for sending uneditable documents to client and for redacting key information on sensitive documents we need to store.
- Redaction is good. Form Filling works well I can have multiple files open and see them in the tabs on the top of the page.
- Some documents still cant be edited, but this is common to other programs.

Kofax Power PDF Review
We use it for providing documents to clients and for working with PDF documents.
- The Bates stamping feature works well. The conversion from none pdf documents to pdf works well. The assembly of document (combine) works well.
- The Whiteout or redaction can be cumbersome.

Kofax Power PDF Review
I use this software every hour of the day. Very rarely am I opening another software as often
- Easy to move around, separating, deleting, adding.
- 2 complaints only: 1. Unable to break through secured pdf. They need modifying however I can only print, scan, then modify. Which brings me to the second issue. I have to use your competitor PDFfiller, to Erase, add Text, Add Circles, Check marks, Images, lines etc. They are very user friendly unfortunately now I have to buy two softwares. One is on line, one is on my computer. Some how if you can add these wonderful features I would be extremly happy. Oh there is a 3rd Issue. I have three computers, Work, Desktop and laptop. I don't like having to purchase three single softwares. Come up with package deals.

Kofax Power PDF Review
We need to regularly check PDF layouts or proofread PDFs for our customers and were looking for a cheap alternative that offered features similar to Acrobat reader. Our clients did not complain about any issues so far.
- - Easy file conversion of multiple formats to one or several PDFs via conversion tool - Easy editing/annotation of PDFs - Good and Easy redact/blacken out tool
- - Language implementation: we get regular messages at startup that Austrian German locale has some issues, just because our PCs are based in Austria an run with Austrian settings but we installed German version. - some fonts appear black although they are not black but another colour overlay - settings (maximized window) do not correctly get saved
- regex search would be fine
- extract text found via (regex) search to file.

A Comprehensive PDF Document Management Solution
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Kofax Power PDF is the only PDF reader/writer that I use. It combines a number of features that I use on a regular basis that competing products don't offer or deploy as well, including digital signatures, document security (this is a big item in legal documents), and integration with other products that I use such as MS Office. Using Kofax Power PDF solves a number of problems for me in terms of combining documents, creating documents and watermarking documents, and general document management tasks. I've tested a number of other products (e.g., Adobe) and found the features in Kofax Power PDF to be superior and more cost-efficient.
- Water-marking
- Digital Signature Handling
- Document Management such as combining documents
- Document Conversion
- The Help Feature and User Manual
- Creating Forms
- Scanner Integration

Kofax Power PDF Advanced Version 5
We use it as an alternative to having to use Adobe Acrobat Pro and thus be obligated to pay yearly license renewal fees!
- Provide a streamlined method to work with and simultaneously archive pdf documents
- Allow one to convert pdf documents using multiple connectors to documents archives
- Work with scanned documents
- Provides a method t use batch files for future automation
- The methods to locate ongoing fixes to the software are cumbersome
- Security features are difficult for a non-expert IT professional to implement

Swiss Army Knife PDF tool
We use it to respond to RFPs and other proposals mainly. It is used to de constructed the RFP and RFQs and publish responses.
Responding to RFPs that can not be edited is time consuming.
- Change original document formats to PDF
- Organize multiple PDFs in related documents
- OCR and scanner integration

A love letter to Kofax Power PDF, my must-have program!
I use it constantly to insert/delete pages, redact private information, page number, add signatures and stamps, and add letterhead to digital printing. In my experience, it does all of these things easily and in a way that is intuitive to the user. I've also used it extensively to make electronic 'binders', where several documents and an index are combined into one document that is bookmarked and hyperlinked. While this takes a little more knowledge and training, I love the functionality of this in our new reality of hybrid workspaces.
- Forms
- Redactions
- Bates Numbering
- Document revision
- Compiling documents
- Stamps could be a little more customizable
- Complete functionality that Adobe has (especially when it comes to forms)
- OCR function is difficult to use and not very smooth at times

Kofax Power PDF Review
I used Kofax for windows when I had the Windows platform. I really enjoyed the features then. They are not quite the same with Mac. I understand that it is probably more difficult to incorporate; however, it would be nice if it were more a more seamless transition. Also not a fan of how there isn't a version for older Macs, as there are for older Windows programs.
- being able to highlight items with no structure (coloring in) being able to block out paragraphs, but with a text box Being able to paste an item or image Being able to move/delete pages in a document, add pages, etc.
- Honestly the Windows version is perfect. Just need a more seamless experience with Mac.

Kofax Power PDF Review
Kofax is my default pdf viewer because it is so easy to use and is always dependable. I have used other pdf products but none have so many features that I use and I generally have problems using them. I highly recommend this product.
- Edit pdfs convert docs to pdfs convert pdfs to docs
- I cannot say what it doesn't do well. It converts documents to pdfs which both android, MACs and PCs can read. It turns pdfs into documents when needed. An excellent product.

Kofax Power PDF Review
Most of my correspondence uses PDFs to send document attachments, etc. I need the reliable PDF app provided by Kofax.
- good user interface
- list of "help" content richer than many other apps
- "comment" section provides an excellent way to highlight and edit docs.
- Student, academic pricing options should be made available
- Conversion between the Power PDF and WORD docs needs work
- I see no alternate language options

Kofax Power PDF Review
We use it for converting documents into PDF for secure sending and also use it to convert PDF documents into Excel & Word for quick adjustments.
- Great quality in Printing PDF Great conversions from PDF into other Office documents.
- Merging documents into one PDF is really helpful.
- Lining up the editing of text on a PDF could be better.
- Different font options on editing would be awesome.
- Would like a better way to add a signature (the stamp i use shows that it is a cut and paste)

Kofax Power PDF Review
I used a lot of scanning and editing pdf (including organizing the order, deleting and extracting pages). Kofax Power PDF has a good ribbon layout for these daily functions. It also has a great form making tool that was really useful in my workflow, generating fillable questionnaires.
- Combining multi-document types into a PDF file. Printing to a PDF file from Microsoft Word. Writing and highlighting PDFs. Reducing the size of PDFs. Placing a digital signature of PDFs.
- There is an error on Windows 11 where printing to a PDF file from Internet Brower does not work. Sometimes, the program needs to be relaunched because it shows an error message of "a file error has occurred." Combining functions crashes sometimes when including an image. I wish that tabs could come in rows so that I can see all open files, instead of scrolling with a left or right button.

Kodfax a work tool that fits what it says on the tin
Reviewing legal documents and comparing versions of documents in addition I commonly use the software to create composite documents from multiple documents and to convert PDF to Word format. Conversion is not 100% reliable, but it usually gives a fair start.
- Combine documents
- Allows effective redaction
- Allows copy and paste from PDF documents
- Allows Bates page numbering
- Word conversion is not reliable
- Adding multiple documents together can be difficult
- Editing of pdf documents is welcome but not always easy

Kofax Power PDF Review
We use the Kofax to redact documents, convert PDF to Word, Excel and PNG formats and merge PDF files
- redact documents, convert PDF to Word, Excel and PNG formats merge PDF files
- the editing of PDFs could be more intuitive Stamps could be more customizable Signatures could be more intuitive

Kofax Power PDF Review
I have been using Kofax Power PDF for many years in my work as an advocate. It has served me well and saved me a lot of time.
- Easy to convert from Word and Excel files to PDF and reverse
- Easy to edit in the PDF file
- Simple and easy to work with
- When converting PDF's from others the program does not recognize the special Faroese character correctly, i.e. á, í,ó,ú,ð and Á,Í,Ó,Ú,Ð.
- When converting from Word documents to PDF the proof-reading is gone in the PDF
- Could be more efficient

Kofax Power PDF Review
We use it to prep documents to send to outside companies
- The price is great. The main reason we went with the product Relatively easy to edit existing documents such as adding text boxes Does "simple" functions very well and easily (combine pdfs, optimize pdfs, reorder pages etc).
- In my opinion, PDF documents do not look great. Adding text poxes add ugly gray squares everywhere and I couldn't find any way to improve that. It is not beginner friendly. I have had to train people to use it, it is not out of the box ready. lastly, it does not run on Server OS. We use terminal services, and it will not run on server 2016 for our end users.

Just as Good as Adobe. Cheaper in Price
Used to open, view, merge, and create PDFs.
- Make PDF Searchable
- Open/View/Edit PDF
- Combine files
- Sometimes when converting word file to PDF, some tables get messed up
- I always accidental close the entire app instead of just the one PDF i wish to close

Great product!
I use Kofax Power PDF in my daily course of business and it is great, you can easily extract specific pages that are needed, redact private information, combine multiple documents into one, add signatures via their system, and add stamps to the pages. Another cool feature is you can create your own stamp and upload it to Kofax Power PDF which comes in handy for me almost daily. Overall, Kofax Power PDF is very easy to use and has a lot of great features.
- Easy to apply redactions
- Provides stamps and lets you create your own
- Easy to extract specific pages and create a new document
- Allows you to easily combine documents
- Allows you to label each document all at once instead of individually
- Their customer service is very helpful if you have any issues
- Sometimes the redactions will freeze if you have multiple documents open at once

I use it to include signatures on PDF documents

Kofax Power PDF Review
I use Kofax Power PDF to render pdf docs from and to word and to and from Jpg documents. It functions well. However, it would be even better if it enabled document signing with a stylus or finger on a cell phone or a pdf.
- Converts to a searchable document.
- Makes a table of contents Search and replace text.
- Very slow to open & close docs or "render" documents. Grit my teeth while waiting.
- Also, it does not have an easy nonformal document signing function when I send a doc that needs a signature.

Kofax Power PDF Review
We needed a PDF software that provided the ability to build packages for board meetings with page numbers, the ability to change pages later, and the ability to redact confidential information.
- The software is fairly easy to use and the support search is robust for users. It does an excellent job of converting existing PDF documents to Word. The top feature is that the company offers a permanent license rather than subscription so this makes the software affordable for our non-profit organization.
- Not sure I can think of any. I would like to build fillable forms and that could be a little easier - but it is also an issue with myself the user.

Kofax Power PDF Review
1. Adobe is expensive. 2. Providing a signature remotely. Half of our staff is fully remote. More than half of our clients are not local. 3. US Mail is not reliable. 4. Clients provide information in pdf that needs to be edited in Excel. 5. Pdf files require edits.
- Signature feature -drawn and standard fonts, plus the ability to save multiple signatures. 2. Typewriter feature. 3. Edit feature. 4. Lock out editing.
- Signature feature- photo. The background comes up gray and needs to be white. The software needs a feature that removes the gray background and conserves the signature. 2. Convert to excel - the format is not as expected. Needs some troubleshooting. 3. Convert to editable - comes back with unexpected boxes, needs some troubleshooting.

Fantastic program and a one-time purchase
The ability to view any document type and make adjustments as needed is very intuitive and user-friendly. Form creation and the tools provided for editing make it simple to use.
- Word files to PDF
- PDF to word files
- form editing
- mobile app importing could be smoother
