This product allows me to edit and modify PDFs which are the end product of my business. Without this I would be forced to use a MUCH more expensive competitor, or a second rate product.
Pros
The ability to edit PDFs, resort pages, and extract, remove, and append documents and PDFs to an original PDZF
Cons
Some of the user interface items such as sizing, rotating, and other tool bar items in a major competitor are easier to use.

Decent for the price but there are better options
Reviewed on 2023-04-05
Pros
Kofax accomplishes what it sets out to do. It is very functional with a lot of features.
Cons
The interface is generally clunky, complicated, and lags. While it has tons of functionality, there is a sense that the entire application could use quite a bit more polishing. Everything works, but could be easier. It works for my users and is cheaper than the name brand, but my users beg me to go back to the name brand because of these issues. I also hate the licensing. When you buy, you only get the version available at that time with no promise of even security updates. You better save the installation package because you likely won't be able to download it again.
Reasons for Choosing Tungsten Power PDF
Cost was the driving factor. When Adobe switched to subscription licensing, it forced us to seek out a less expensive alternative.Switched From

We already had some licenses in our environment from scanner purchases that came with a license and we wanted to have consistency. Feature wise, the other options were similar. We thought we could deal with the product's interface issues.- Industry: Computer Software

We needed a fast reliable PDF program that could do then just view documents and this was the clear winner.
Pros
Power PDF is easy to use and full featured. I am not a fan of having to pay subscriptions for everything, so this is fantastic one-time purchase. You don't need a cloud account it just works.
Cons
There are some occasional issues with PDF forms generated from other PDF programs, but they are fairly easy to work around.

As I outlined above in "Pros", Power PDF was the solution to outputting the forms and reports I needed to provide to my customers.
Pros
I have been using this PDF software since before it was purchased by Kofax. I needed affordable PDF software for the creation and completion of forms used for inspections and for the conversion of reports created in other software to PDF format. Final reports, in PDF format, are then electronically sent to clients. The ability to "flatten" these forms and reports to preclude modification is an important feature.
Cons
Power PDF provides the solutions required for my business. The switch several years ago to the ribbon toolbar was a small learning curve but an improvement in the long run.
