Overall Satisfaction with Kofax Power PDF (formerly Nuance)

I and my company use this as an affordable alternative to Adobe as it has great features and connections to external services i.e. DocuSign.
  • Form filler.
  • Page reorganization.
  • Add blank page, used to be on former versions of Nuance but not on Kofax.
  • Cost savings - one time purchase.
  • Time savings.
Relatively easy to use. Has a learning curve but nothing too difficult.
Better pricing and more features than Adobe.
Support has been helpful once you can get in touch with them. Could improve access to support.

  • Moving pages within PDF
  • Object Editing
  • Text Editing has improved significantly

Overall, very good usability. Has features that are not well described. Still can't add blank pages to a document, the former Nuance product has this feature and easy to perform.

Kofax Power PDF Reliability

I have no experience to answer this question.
Kofax loads slower than Adobe and can crash when 8 or more PDFs are open at one time.
