About the manufacturer

Kofax (now Tungsten Automation) is a specialist in document processing. Power PDF and OmniPage originally come from Nuance and are used in offices worldwide.

Why dedicated PDF and document software?

Many documents now arrive as a PDF or scan – invoices, contracts, forms. If you can only view them, you often end up retyping the content by hand. Specialised software recognises text, converts files and keeps your filing searchable. That saves time every day in the office and avoids typing errors.

An example from practice

An engineering firm converts a PDF bill of quantities into Excel, adds the prices and sends the quote back as a PDF.
