No quirks, intuitive interface and simple to make the most of the software. I've been using it for years (and in another role use a different pdf tool as part of a corporate standard) and see the differences. PowerPDF is so much easier to use and increases productivity. Often, I move docs from one computer to another so I can use PowerPDF instead of the other. > > **Cons**: It can be pricey for small office/SOLO's ----- ### "An Essential Tool for anyone in business" — 5.0/5 > **Jayne** | *April 13, 2023* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The versatility of this product exceeds anything else available today. > > **Cons**: I would like to be able to add pictures or other objects more easily. However, this IS possible and hasn't kept me from using Power PDF in this way. > > I have used Power PDF for more than 10 years and have found it to be a completely essential part of my daily work. I have it on my computer at work and also at home and I could not live without it. ----- ### "Lousy software that our company switched to for cost savings" — 2.0/5 > **Kali** | *April 12, 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I don't like Kofax. It's fine as a reader, but for anything else I definitely prefer other applications. > > **Cons**: I don't like Kofax at all. It crashes all the time which wastes so much of my time. When we first got it in 2001 it crashed so much that it was totally unusable and really messed up our work flow. Our IT team spent a lot of time (like weeks) trying to get it to work. One of the people on our team spent her own money to just buy Adobe Acrobat so she wouldn't have the headache of dealing with Kofax. Kofax functions now, but it still crashes a lot during edits. The adding pages feature really sucks and I have to do the steps very specifically or else it crashes, and I save after each step when adding pages and redoing the page numbers to avoid loosing the work I've already done. Weird things also happen if you remove a page and try to renumber. The page numbering function needs a lot of improvement. > > See above. It crashes a lot which wastes my time. ----- ### "More bang for your buck." — 5.0/5 > **David** | *April 4, 2023* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > We needed a fast reliable PDF program that could do then just view documents and this was the clear winner. ----- ### "Why I use Kofax Power PDF" — 5.0/5 > **Bill** | *April 12, 2023* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2049687/kofax-power-pdf?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2049687/kofax-power-pdf) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
