Overall Satisfaction with Kofax Power PDF (formerly Nuance)

We use it for preparing and editing legal documents. It checks all the boxes, including redaction tools and editing the actual content of the docs.
  • Combines multiple documents.
  • Edits text in pdfs.
  • Reorder pages.
  • The text recognition tool needs a little work.
  • Redaction tool could be easier to use.
  • Cost savings.
  • Alternative to adobe’s monthly subscription.
It’s not as “pretty” or easy to use as Adobe and takes some getting used to.

Using Kofax Power PDF (formerly Nuance)

2 - We use Kofax at my law firm all the time for anything I need to do with a pdf aside from reading one. Editing, formatting, presenting, etc. Its really a great tool and great alternative to adobe.
We dont have anyone in-house to support our use of Kofax, its necessary. Its easy to get the hang of and worth learning.
  • Editing PDFs
  • Presenting PDF documents
  • Combining PDFs
  • We like presenting using this program. It looks very slick and professional.
  • We will continue to use this program and avoid monthly adobe fees for the foreseeable future.
