Bad Key Code to activate Power PDF

The key code from BestBuy does not work. I had to call Kofax directly to get the key code to work properly. BestBuy support was unable to resolve the issue. I would recommend just buying it directly from Kofax so you don't have any hassle with the key code to activate the product. Kofax bought the Nuance Power PDF product.

This product has been working well for my office needs. I'm glad to find this item at Best Buy for a reasonable price and that it came in a downloadable version since my laptop does not have a cd rom drive.

Have used this program for 9 yrs. on Windows 7 computer. No drivers for Windows 10 so bought this knowing it was excellent. Use to extract pages, convert jpg into pdf, so I can then copy. Also, from the pdf can used edit function to copy portions and paste into a document. So versatile. Also bundles individual pdfs.
Highly recommend, and no yearly fees, just cost of the software.

Works great! Works pretty much the same of the more popular/expensive alternative. I’m fine with the more off brand alternative since it saves me a ton of money!

I needed to install a pdf writer software on my new laptop and wasn't prepared to spend a lot of money on the adobe version.
This Nuance power pdf was a good option for me and I have not had any problems since I started using it. Its easy for me to convert documents into pdf and I could do almost all the same thing I would normally do with the adobe version at a lesser cost.

Ordered this product for work and it's really easy to use. Great value, too. Nice to have a product that can convert PDF and Word.
I used to have to print the word document and scan it in my computer. My printer would scan the document into a PDF.
Now I can just take a word document, turn it into a PDF and email to people.

This software provides me all of the features that I was looking for in Adobe Acrobat Standard, but at a much more affordable, one-time price.

Power PDF is a great alternative to the higher priced Adobe program. Handles everything that I need and fully integrates a PDF to Office.

The software it self is great. I've used it for years and love it. Don't buy it from Best Buy though. They gave me a glitchy download and it took multiple calls and online chats with multiple reps over a week to finally get someone to admit they knew nothing and give me Nuance's tech support number. Nuance sold the product line to Kolfax. Called Kolfax and they had me squared away in about 5 minutes by giving me a different download. Do yourself a favor and just buy from Kolfax direct. Best Buy wasn't worth the hassle on this one.

After numerous attempts to use the key code, it doesn't work. Now I'm spending even more time trying to get this corrected. Bummer.

Does not load with Windows 10. Tried chat with Best Buy but, assume due to Covid, never got a rep. Tried the website, does not help. Google advanced search revealed problem trying to load. All I got was the free trial. Do Not PURCHASE

Better than previous version

I bought a previous version at least 3 years ago. This has more features for creating your own PDFs from scratch. I generally don't do that, but it could be very useful for those making marketing slicks and ads.
My use is mostly scanning an archiving documents, which are saved in the cloud, emailed, or the rare fax through my eFax program. Oh, and I print a lot to PDF when I want to save something but I don't want the papers.
My only beef is I don't believe the standard version allows scanning via wireless. So even though my scanner is on the network, I have to use it plug in USB. Not a deal breaker, but not good if you have multiple people needing to scan. I believe the pro-version has wireless scanning.
