    Considered Both Products
    Nitro, Inc
    Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
    Nitro Productivity Suite is able to perform just as well as Adobe. It uses less resources on my machine than Adobe. I think it is much easier to use than Tungsten as well.

    Ease of use, dependability, local access without the need for an online connection or subscription, and general familiarity of the software after years of use. Nitro is difficult to use, never works right, and jumbles files where it is hard to find what you are working on. …

    Adobe Acrobat, Nitro. Better than Nitro; probably slightly behind Adobe Acrobat in terms of compatibility.

    Kofax is significantly easier to use. The product that results from compiling and the ability to mark up documents are much easier to obtain on Kofax than from its competitors.

    We have previously used Adobe Acrobat in older formats and Nitro PDF Pro - both of which worked fine but were not as intuitive as Kofax Power PDF. The Adobe Acrobat version we had did not do redaction, so we had to look for something else. Power PDF was the best product and fit …

    Basically, if users have the budget and can afford it, they all go with Adobe. It's the standard, works well, and what most people think of when they want to edit PDFs.
    If they have a limited budget, they usually go with Nitro. They like the UI and find it more intuitive.
    Most …

    Each Power PDF, Adobe and Nitro have little nuances to differentiate themselves, but they all can do the job. It all comes down to price and Power PDF seemed to be the most affordable for the same features.

    Kofax has a competitive price and works well. The others are either unsuitable for our needs or don't provide the capabilities we want.

    We were using the Nitro PDF program previously. It was a good program and there are some differences that take getting use to. However, in the end the pricing on the Kofax product was more reasonable. And it seems to have a lot more options included. However this is comparing …

    The other products tested also failed to meet accessibility needs. Both other products had a better look and feel and were a better UX. I bought Power PDF hoping it had improved over version 2.0 in terms of editing for meeting accessibility standards.

    I have found Power PDF a much more powerful program than the commonly available shareware PDF editors and readers and it is much more affordable than Adobe products and easier to use. I also enjoy that I do not have to constantly update the program to correct bugs and security …

    The use of Kofax Power PDF as opposed to the other products was just easier. It felt more natural using Kofax Power PDF, and less of a learning curve to understand all the features. I also liked that it was not a subscription service, which seems to be the norm with all the …

    I honestly have preferred to use both of the above software more than Kofax Power PDF, however, this was a cost-effective option and now that we have all been using it long enough, we all agree it is sufficient for our needs and will stick with it.
