### "Nuance is great"

January 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

The functionality is all that you could ask for. While it can take a little effort to understand the navigation of the software, it provides customization to have your common functions available at your finger tips.

Cons

The start up time is kind of slow. I've found that it's best to keep a file open to allow for quick access to other files throughout the day however.

### "Amazing Product & Design"

April 10, 2023

Pros

In our law office, there is a lot of scanning and merging of files. Kofax makes it extremely easy to make Word docs into pdfs. It is super easy to print off the application and use the merge feature makes everything extremely easy!

Cons

I think the searchable feature could use an update since it's not 100% all the time

### "Excellent Adobe Alternative"

May 27, 2021

5.0

I was introduced to Power PDF advanced at a previous employer and recommended it for my current employer. I do a lot of document control type work and it is a vital software that makes the job much easier than fighting with free versions which, if they offer functionality, often extremely limit page output daily or more expensive software with the same or slightly more features.

Pros

Software has many powerful features at a fraction of the cost of Adobe

Cons

Some of the features can be a bit difficult to find and buried in a non-intuitive menu (but most common commands are easily accessible)

### "Useful & Easy To Learn PDF Editor Software"

April 10, 2023

5.0

Pros

Measuring and draw tools: Easy to draw and markup files to scale when working with blueprints/construction plans.

Cons

Desired features: Snap the edge of picture stamps or other markups to meet up exactly with existing media, either above or below it, such as with video editing software that aligns two medias at the same second in the timeline. Example: this can help when editing multiple pages and you need a stamp in the same location on every page.

### "Great PDF software and love the ability to edit a PDF."

January 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

Editable PDF, combine documents into one PDF, add notes, create new PDFs for advertising etc. For us, it is a complete PDF Suite.

Cons

Converting PDF to word - need to be able to exclude the graphics so it does not distort the layout. Would also like a few more font options.

### "Kofax Power PDF"

December 10, 2023

4.0

Pros

En tant que chargé de communication, ce logiciel me facilite beaucoup la tâche en terme de gestion de documents PDF. Je trouve Kofax Power PDF meilleur logiciel de manipulation de doc pdf suite à plusieurs analyse de mon expérience. Non seulement, il est simple pour utilisation, mais aussi, il me permet de convertir en quelques clics les fichiers de PDF vers autres formats vice-versa, de fusionner plusieurs fichiers en un document, d'annoter et de sécuriser mes fichiers.

Cons

Depuis longtemps que je suis familiarisé avec Kofax Power PDF, je n'ai pas encore eu de déception.

March 24, 2018

5.0

It has made my day to day work seamless

Pros

This software allows you to electronically sign documents, password protect files, and modify files.

### "Perfectly Powerful PDF Program"

October 21, 2021

5.0

Pros

Given the large numbers of documents that we need to digitally sign and distribute, as well as dissect and reassemble, Kofax makes the job easy and seamless. I appreciate the interface being very user friendly (things are easy to find) and very approachable (I don't \*need\* to use my mouse for everything). There also aren't any weird "moving parts" (collapsible windows, etc.) that react when I'm not expecting them to or because I nudged my mouse a little to far.

Cons

If there's something to dislike, I haven't found it yet.

Increased efficiency in my job as I have to manually update paperwork. Being able to click a button and start editing has help immensely.

Pros

Able to edit a PDF for shipping documents with ease now.

Combine Documents, Optimizing the size of the documents, typing notes right on the pdf, removing information from the document, especially happy with being able to convert a pdf into word or excel. HUGE time saver.

### "very helpful during Covid-19"

September 14, 2020

5.0

very happy about the inexpensive product. Sometimes more powerful than other tools on the market. I was among the decision making group and I will chose this software again

Pros

Conversion of the PDF file to different type of files and also the Stamp functionality. During Covid the stamp functionality has allowed easy review and signatures processe

Cons

complex/long PDF sometime do not convert properly to the new format requested. Other cases it is a little complicated to select the pages in order to re-organize the sequence, but this is a question of practice.

### "Don't use it with autocad, otherwise it is really good"

August 27, 2018

4.0

If they could fix the cad problem then nuance power would be one of the best pdf softwares available, it works amazingly in almost every scenario and for someone who is not in the engineering business it might just be the perfect option. I totally recommend it.

Pros

Nuance power is a good pdf reader and a great pdf converter, even if the document is watermark it's conversions to word or excel are never messed up by this fact (something that ussually happens with other options), it also comes with another handful of useful tools such as splitting merging and rotating that makes working with pdf a great experience.

Cons

As an engineer working with CAD softwares is definetly a must, and the fact that nuance power really messes up scales of my cad documents when pdf printing them is a big downer for me, I really spend a lot of time trying to make it work for me and considering that other pdf options don't have this issue I end up just using nuance for it's conversion tools.

### "Not Adobe pro but works okay"

December 31, 2019

3.0

Overall I truly wish we still had adobe pro, but nuance still works well enough that I can complete most desired tasks, even if not everything is doable or of the same quality that I'm used to.

Pros

I like that almost everything is streamlined. Most features are easy to find and dont require multiple clicks to accomplish a task.

Cons

I'm used to Adobe pro, and adobe just works better in almost all areas. Some things dont work the way they should, and the conversion quality (pdf to Word) is sub par.

August 21, 2023

4.0

Pros

Las funcionalidades que aporta. Es un programa muy completo e intuitivo, una interfaz amigable a la vista y al que se puede sacar mucho provecho.

Cons

El precio. Es de los más caros que me he encontrado hasta ahora en la búsqueda de un editor para la empresa que cumpla todas las necesidades que tenemos.
