Overall Satisfaction with Kofax Power PDF (formerly Nuance)
I use Kofax for my law practice and my law teaching. I use it to flatten and file documents with the Federal and state court systems and I use it to save important Word documents that I don't want to be altered. I also use it to send sensitive information to clients and students so that, again, it is in my original document.
- 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.
- It has saved me time preparing memos and briefs.
It is relatively easy to use. I have used Adobe for years and I teach 7 litigation software programs so I was able to transition to Kofax without much trouble. Most of the operations are intuitive.

Evaluating Kofax Power PDF and Competitors
- Product Features
- Product Usability
I teach paralegal students and Kofax is one of the programs they will have access to when they go for E-Discovery certification.
I don't think I would change anything in my evaluation process. I looked at three or four different PDF alternatives. I have kept Adobe Professional and I use the two interchangeably.
