Overall Satisfaction with Kofax Power PDF (formerly Nuance)

We use Kofax on a daily basis in our company to edit PDFs received from other vendors that need to be customized prior to sending to our clients.
  • Edit existing PDFs.
  • Combining files into a single PDF.
  • Mark up and making detailed notes on architectural plans.
  • Signing documents with electronic signature.
  • More specific fields of edit when in converted mode (instead of program highlighting all fields).
  • Better and more robust editing when in editable mode. We find many times Kofax really limits editing to specific places or won't cooperate when you have a block of text highlighted.
  • Better and more varied commenting capabilities.
  • Ability to scale an architectural drawing (not sure if this is currently possible).
  • Ability to SET and save default size when a PDF opens.
  • Kofax saves us time every day.
  • Kofax is priced reasonably unlike many other editors.
  • Kofax is user friendly, saving us frustration.
It is straightforward and easy to use. The frustrations we have with Kofax are minimal. It is a reliable and simple editor for basic functions.
We like Kofax better than Adobe since it is does all the editing we need and is much more cost effective.
Kofax is pretty good about responding to specific questions in a timely manner.
