Overall Satisfaction with Kofax Power PDF (formerly Nuance)
The organization is very small since I am self-employed. I started using Power PDF a long time ago as an easy-to-use software for converting and creating PDF files, and use it on a daily basis. It allows me to quickly convert PDF files to obtain information (such as word count) for quotes, and it quickly lets me make large PDF documents searchable. It is not adjustable enough for a thorough conversion (of PDF files to use in CAT tools, for example), for which I use Nuance OmniPage. Creating PDF files (in my case mostly invoices) is easy as well.
- Make scanned PDF files searchable
- Convert entire PDF files for quick assessment
- Create PDF files
- I miss a Go To function. Yes, you can type a page number in the bottom bar, but that is tedious.
- I miss a chance to better control the OCR function (exclude stuff that is in the way, such as headers, footers, line numbers, etc.
- I'd like a more accurate FormTyper. It still leaves out too many fields of a scanned form.
- First, it's not a big investment, and return is fast and satisfactory.
- Kofax Power PDF definitely saves time and costs, since comparable functionality is much more costly in other products.
It is easy to use, period. The only thing I never figured out is the security functions, but so far, there was no great need. It works very well for my purposes, which is mostly working with files that call themselves PDF but are actually just scanned products with that extension.
The former go to program for dealing with everything PDF is more expensive and much less easy to work with. It was at least about 10 years ago when I made the decision to go with Kofax (Nuance). I have not regretted it.
