5 Ways That PDF Editors and E-Signature Technology Save Time

When was the last time your business took a hard look at the software solutions it uses for basic productivity tasks? Digital workflows involving documents, for example, often require an array of software tools to manipulate. From Microsoft Office products to PDF editors, these tools can slip into the background of the workday—until something goes wrong.

Your PDF editing solutions should let your workers save time, not waste it, especially for documents requiring signed approvals from management or clients. A solution designed for ease-of-use and versatility in any business environment, Kofax Power PDF, eliminates common hassles and saves you time.

1. Better Software Makes Converting to PDF Fast and Easy

Although PDF is a highly versatile format, many users find it isn't easy to work with these documents without the right technology in place. Consider a common scenario: you have a PDF file that you want to convert to a Word doc for editing and adding content. When you're done, you want to convert it back. Simple, right? Only if you can find the right tools for the job. Kofax Power PDF is a powerful but straightforward PDF converter and editor ideal for the seamless manipulation of these files.

2. Save a Signature for Rapidly Signing Documents

"Sign here, and here, and here..." Old cartoons and movies made a joke out of putting your signature to contracts for a reason: with potentially dozens of pages at a time requiring a signature or initials, signing documents is a time-consuming task.

Use a touch-enabled device or computer tablet to capture and save your signature in Power PDF. When you need to add your name to a document, simply open it in Power PDF and insert your signature. The software's built-in advanced digital certificate technology guarantees the legitimacy of your signed documents and provides a failsafe against tampering.

3. Never Lose Track of Critical Papers Again

With Power PDF and its built-in OCR technology, it takes no time at all to transform any document into a full-text PDF that is also easy to search. Modern operating systems such as Windows 10 can search inside optimized PDF files. When you can't find the right document, plug in a few key phrases you might find on the page and locate your file in seconds.

4. Capture Signatures from Clients with Ease

Providing authorization is not the only scenario in which electronic signatures come in handy. What about when you need to get a legally binding signature from a client on a contract or some other agreement? You could wait for the document to filter through the postal system, or you could rely on slow and outdated solutions such as the fax machine.

5. Automate Form Creation and Document Conversion

With the Power PDF capture folder feature, users have powerful capabilities for automating these processes. When a file appears in the folder, such as following a scan function, Power PDF can automatically process it according to a preset script. This processing can include actions such as converting between formats and outputting the new file to a different destination folder.
