    Soda PDF, it is the worst

    Chose Tungsten Power PDF
    I have used older versions of Acrobat and SodaPDF. Soda PDF is terrible and Buggy. Acrobat was also slow and cumbersome, and expensive.

    I looked at Soda PDF and PDF2Go, but came back to Kofax Power PDF, which I had been using for years as Nuance Power PDF, and just did the upgrade.

    Chose Tungsten Power PDF
    I needed a program similar to Kofax Power PDF on my personal home computer. I couldn't afford Kofax for this sometimes use scenario. So I looked around and decided on Soda PDF. I was not as pleased. The interface was not as familiar and the way it was marketed, I am still not …

    We chose Kofax PDF for its in-the app features, because widely used by major enterprises and it allows you to create, edit and annotate documents.
    Adobe Acrobat DC - It is a powerful program, but also comes with a hefty cost, and limitations which Kofax surpasses. Plus Kofax is …

    Chose Tungsten Power PDF
    I've used Acrobat and Acrobat DC, NitroPDF, SodaPDF, Bluebeam and others. Power PDF is hands down my favorite based on my experience.

    Chose Tungsten Power PDF
    Most of them require subscriptions that annually cost about the same as a single license of Power PDF. One of them had also had a major data breach recently I believe.

    Chose Tungsten Power PDF
    Kofax Power PDF is the only application that has all of the features I need in one place. I still use DocHub/DocuSign for simple documents that don't require a lot of form filling but Kofax Power PDF is always my first choice for working with anything above that. The Form Typer …

    Chose Tungsten Power PDF
    Beats them all hands down. The rest of them lack tools, are difficult to navigate, do not have the thumbnail viewer that I find very important. I keep between 20 and 50 PDF's on my desktop at any time, to be able to glance and find the one I need without reading the file name …
