    Foxit comes with an offline solution that can be deployed across the company. The price is good, compared with Adobe but a bit less competitive than Kofax. The interface compared to other mentioned tools is easy to deal with and seems to be intuitive for the users who uses …

    We have had instances where we've used the other two products. Adobe did not offer a one time payment at the time so we did not go with that one. Most users currently use Foxit. I would not say that Foxit nor Kofax really beat each other out, some prefer one or the other based …

    Adobe Acrobat and Kofax Power PDF are similar enough to make transitioning back and forth easy. When I have had to use Foxit PDF Editor on someone else's computer, it has been disappointing in comparison. Online free PDF apps I see other people using tend to want you to …

    Kofax shines in the security features (Signing functions) and comments (for others to make changes to documents), but true editing of documents can get cumbersome. This is mostly due to the "convert to editable" function not being as robust as other software. Since most of …

    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.

    I've used Adobe Acrobat, FoxitPhantom PDF, Nuance Power PDF, and MS Word to work with PDF files, and when it came time to purchase our next tool for PDF editing I reevaluated them all chose Kofax Power PDF for the ease of use, value for the cost and powerful toolset.

    There are a lot of free or inexpensive readers but few are as full featured as Power PDF. Adobe isn't the easiest to use and Foxit features are not all inclusive.

    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.

    Foxit seem to be a bit more user friendly when it comes to document editing and speed is a little faster.
    However it can't match to Power PDF in its power of characters/numbers recognition when it comes to converting documents to Excel.

    Kofax doesn't feel as intimidating as the other guys! There are so many other programs that just assume you know what you're doing and don't offer the same kind of support or use as many layman's terms as Kofax does. It definitely has a better, dumb-friendly "feel" to it, and …

    We were using Adobe before but they changed the Licensing mode to a subscription basis. This involves more money and more budget to preview for this.
