It is a highly recommended package with a price tag that can be affordable or value for money, if you have that to spend.
It is sometimes best to have multiple document come together in PDF editor. This package will do a great job from combining file to bates stamping with advanced formatting and page positioning, page numbering with section control.

Pros

It has all the bells of a paid PDF editor package./
However, the impact is with the batch process functions that can be used to perform actions such as multi file optimization and other programmatic activities that applied to multiple document in one folder.
I also can say that the OCR functionalities seem to be a bit better than other packages that I have investigated. This is now my main package but...

Cons

I think it is a but pricy.
I don't like the companies licensing policy. The process to move licenses from one PC to another is a bit difficult, especially if you don't have the original PC at hand, eg. when your harddisk is destroyed or failed.

Terrible, would not recommend it, only using it by force from my company. Slowed my work process and timeliness down significantly.

Pros

Nothing - I miss Adobe and its user friendly options.

Cons

You cannot adjust the screen to your preferred uses each tab is required to be accessed separately taking up hours of time switching between tabs, edit, comment, view, crop. It groups things that have no business being grouped. Prefer Adobe that is single section separation. Kofax moves to much around when adding to an already in use text box. It adjusts the formatting from the original to much spend far to much time correcting what was already nice and in good format that Kofax screwed up when trying to add or remove items.

Response from Tungsten Automation

This has been a great PDF viewer and editor. It has been the one I've used for multiple years and don't plan on using anything else.

Pros

The ability to edit PDF documents and add typewriter type text.
Having keyboard shortcuts.
Security features that lock and protect PDF documents.

Cons

Some embedded fonts are not available when editing PDF documents.
Highlights add a comment, would like a highlight only option.

When I pull a tab out from the main window, it opens up directly below the main window. It would be preferable if the tab was still connected to my cursor and follows it to the spot I want the tab to show up. Similar to chrome tabs
