Overview
Power PDF is sold by Tungsten Automation, the company formerly called Kofax, which announced in January 2024 that it would evolve from the Kofax name to Tungsten Automation[12]. The product was earlier sold as Nuance Power PDF and then Kofax Power PDF, and the mobile app listing still carries the Kofax name[11].
Three retail editions are offered as perpetual licences. Power PDF Standard for Windows, at US$129, creates, edits and exports PDFs in an interface modelled on Microsoft Office. Power PDF Advanced for Windows, at US$179, adds e-signatures, batch processing, Bates numbering, advanced redaction, password protection and integrations with SharePoint and iManage. Power PDF for Mac, at US$129, covers annotation, conversion to Word, Excel and image formats, page organisation and form filling. A Power PDF Business subscription, with a minimum of five users, is priced by quote[11].
Power PDF suits buyers who want to pay once. Bates numbering and iManage support make the Advanced edition common in legal settings. The trade-off is that retail perpetual licences do not include future upgrades or updates, so a later version must be bought again (with upgrade discounts for existing customers), and the Mac edition has a narrower toolset than Windows Advanced[11].
