Overall Satisfaction with Kofax Power PDF (formerly Nuance)
I primarily use Kofax Power PDF to assemble grant applications consisting of multiple individual PDF documents which must be merged into one, and to read PDF documents. I purchased it to meet a need to assemble PDFs. I also use it to edit text in PDFs, which saves me a lot of time from having to edit Word docs and then convert them to PDF again. It is used across the entire organization, which is a company of one. I use it for my work with multiple clients (nonprofit organizations) and referred it to one of them when they finally had money to buy a "fancy PDF editor."
- Assembling a single PDF from multiple individual documents.
- Editing text on PDFs that started out as Word documents.
- Inserting handwritten signatures.
- Sometimes PDFs converted to Word docs don't convert well. I think this is probably because the original document was created outside of Word, like with text boxes in a different program. If there's a way to make these convert to Word that would be nice.
- I think that the last time I tried to rotate pages, it rotated the entire document. I don't think I can rotate individual pages, and if I can, I don't know how to use it.
- A way to line up text boxes that get moved around during text editing would be nice, like having a line appear to guide placement.
- Massive time savings because I don't have to do a wasteful printing, signing, scanning, uploading process for documents that I need signed or assembled.
- I've found Kofax Power PDF easy to learn for the basic functions so I've saved time not having to learn how to use a complicated piece of software.
- Clients have been impressed that I have a high performing PDF editor to use for their projects.
I've found it easy to use. I probably had a tutorial when I started using it 7 years ago (as Nuance), but over my time using it I haven't had issues. Its helped me save time.
Kofax lets me do things that I couldn't do or didn't know how to do in Adobe Acrobat, which I believe was the default program I had available to me before getting Kofax PDF. I don't think you can assemble PDFs in Adobe and I believe it also wasn't as good for editing documents directly.
