Provides Expanded Accessibility to Support Highly Distributed Mobile Workforces

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kofax®, the leader in Intelligent Automation software for digital workflow transformation, today announces the release of Power PDF™ 4, the latest edition of the #1 global alternative to Adobe® Acrobat® with over two million users. Formerly Nuance Power PDF, Kofax Power PDF 4 increases worker productivity with improved digital accuracy and integrated e-signature capabilities of Kofax SignDoc®.

Kofax Power PDF is built for business users to provide an easy way to create, manage and share the highly popular PDF file format. Power PDF 4 offers significant value for companies looking to increase productivity while reducing costs. It supports today’s work-at-home, highly distributed and mobile workforces with a huge leap forward in document scanning accuracy, integration with Microsoft OneDrive and expanded accessibility – in alignment with U.S. and E.U. requirements. Moreover, it works across devices and platforms and easily shares documents in the cloud.

Power PDF 4 is seamlessly integrated with Kofax’s SignDoc e-signature solution, helping organizations automate the time-intensive process of signature execution and management. Companies of all sizes can use a single solution to meet simple to complex needs and workforces, critical in today’s ever-changing environment.

"As companies continue to manage the rapidly changing global situation, Kofax Power PDF 4 provides the perfect solution to go digital, organize files and implement e-signature management for remote workers,” says Maureen Polte, Vice President of Commercial Products at Kofax. “Already stretched IT teams gain an advantage because standardizing on Power PDF will meet all users’ needs, from simple to complex, while reducing licensing costs, saving time and delivering strong security controls.”

PDF software can be costly, require extensive support and needs to be secure. In contrast, Kofax Power PDF 4 works like other Microsoft Office desktop products, so it’s easy to learn, works across devices and platforms, and offers security controls critical to enterprises.
