Overall Satisfaction with Kofax Power PDF (formerly Nuance)

We use Power PDF in lieu of Adobe Acrobat because it is a more reasonably priced option that does as much if not more. We primarily use it because it allows us to mark up/edit PDF's on the fly and in some cases, apply security so that contracts etc. can't be changed.
  • Markup/edit.
  • Security settings.
  • Opens fast!
  • Converts PDF to Word or other popular document formats.
  • FormTyper is excellent--allowing user to take a non-editable PDF and automatically create forms with editable fields.
  • I have not run into anything I've wanted to do and wasn't able to with Power PDF.
  • Best alternative to Adobe Acrobat product.
Power PDF is very easy to use and operate. We don't fully utilize all it can do but it can simply
  1. Edit PDF's.
  2. Print PDF's from other document types.
  3. Create editable Forms from non-editable PDF forms.
  4. Apply security settings to disallow changes to a PDF including the ability to even print it!
  5. Create a searchable PDF from a non-editable PDF.
Far better and less expensive than Adobe Acrobat!
I've never contacted support so I can't answer this question.

  4. FormTyper--creating an editable form with fields from a non-editable PDF.

  • You can create/edit fields in a PDF form.
  • You can make a non-editable PDF searchable (OCR).
