[Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.ie/software/170833/acrobat-reader-dc) — 4.6/5 (10525 reviews) ## Reviews ### "Excellent replacement for Adobe Acrobat Pro" — 5.0/5 > **Kevin** | *15 October 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: \* Full compatibility with Adobe Acrobat PDF for most use cases \* Advanced features such as commenting and PDF assembly and optimization are still supported \* No ridiculous ongoing subscription fees and Adobe Cloud \* Faster than Adobe Acrobat Pro \* Doesn't pre-process document flow like Acrobat which makes it much faster to open PDFs > > **Cons**: \* Default "color styles" are not great and too dark for use with Highlight Tool, would be better if you could change these to your own color and opacity \* Ctrl Z undo when copy and pasting text boxes will crash it. Just press Del instead. \* Image and object extraction is not always possible (Export selection and Snapshot tools are not available) > > I switched from Adobe Acrobat Professional and have been using it for 6 months. I am happy it does everything i need and some things even better than Acrobat. The UI is a bit different but I learnt to adapt. It is more stable and rarely crashes. It is also much much better than other PDF readers such as Nitro and 995. ----- ### "HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE" — 3.0/5 > **Susan** | *2 January 2025* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do like the ease of use and the program itself. > > **Cons**: My network crashed and the apps were gone from my desktop and my laptop. The company said they can't help me because my license use was at limit\! They wouldnt let me reinstall the program. Said I have to purchase again\! > > As far as product itself, the only issue I found was that I cannot electronically sign anything like I could with Adobe. Has to be printed, signed and then scanned back in. ----- ### "Important tool in going "Paper Less"" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *29 September 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Power PDF is a fairly simple program to use while still providing features that some PDF implementations either do not provide or make hard to understand. > > **Cons**: Power PDF seems to have a bit of trouble with some PDF forms created by the Canadian and Ontario governments. Sometimes a field that is supposed to contain dollars and cents goes in as a number with 8 digits after the decimal place. However, if one saves the PDF, closes it, and reopens, it will show properly with 2 decimal places. This very well could be fixed in the current version of the software. I am still using Power PDF Advanced 1.1. > > I am presently using Power PDF Advanced 1.1 in my CPA firm and have been using it and its predecessor software for nearly 20 years. It has helped me move my office into the "paper less" era. That is not paperless but "paper less" or less paper. It is highly unlikely that all paper can be eliminated at this point in time but a significant portion of what we previously printed and stored in filing cabinets is now "printed" to PDF using the included PDF printer driver and is stored electronically on our network. We have been able to reduce the number of filing cabinets in the office by using PDF storage of what otherwise would have been on paper. ----- ### "Efficient PDF software" — 5.0/5 > **Julie** | *22 May 2025* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software has plenty of tools, in terms of PDF management and editing (combining, extracting, converting, redacting, etc.). It is efficient, and the interface is appreciable. It cost less than other more expensive softwares, it is more modern and has more options. I especially greatly appreciate the possibility to open a "New Window" of the same document. > > **Cons**: It takes a little bit of time to adjust to the software, it is not the most intuitive to find tools. However, it's is not too long to get adjusted and once you are, it is very efficient. ----- ### "Power your PDF documents with Power PDF - user for almost 20 years" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *27 September 2024* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Price: not a subscription therefore choose when to upgrade; Forms: easy conversion to forms (some mistakes but mostly a good result; Programming: Java Script to manage data input ensuring data integrity \& consistency; also calculation of numeric fields. Allows creation of templates to facilitate easy client completion of forms. > > **Cons**: No Java Script syntax manual/help file available. ChatGPT is filling a gap here\! Dynamic Stamps cannot be created beyond an auto date. I would like to be able to add a single page to a document that has all of my coding on it but then make it hjidden so that clients cannot see it or "break" it. Don't seem to be able to set default print settings - specifically double sided flip on short/long side > > Used daily in my business. I have not had a reason for using about half of the features present, but maybe one day... ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/198843/kofax-power-pdf?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/198843/kofax-power-pdf) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
