Power PDF Standard Edition - FAQs
Product & Licensing
What is Tungsten Power PDF Standard?
Tungsten Power PDF Standard (formerly Kofax) is a powerful, cost-effective PDF editor designed for home users, students, and small businesses. It features an intuitive, Office-style ribbon interface that allows you to create, edit, and convert PDF files with ease.
Is Power PDF a subscription or a perpetual license?
Unlike many competitors, Tungsten Power PDF Standard is sold as a perpetual license. This means you pay once and own the software forever with no monthly or annual subscription fees.
How many computers can I install my Power PDF license on?
A single-user license is intended for one primary machine. However, the End User License Agreement (EULA) generally permits a second installation on a portable or home computer for backup, provided both are not used at the same time.
Key Features & Functionality
Does Power PDF support digital signatures?
Yes, you can use Power PDF to digitally sign documents and verify signatures to ensure document authenticity. For more complex e-signature workflows, the Advanced version integrates directly with services like DocuSign.
Can I merge multiple files into a single PDF?
Yes, the software allows you to combine various file types—including images, Word docs, and other PDFs—into one organized PDF file.
Technical & Compatibility
Is there a version for Mac?
Yes, a dedicated Power PDF for Mac version is available, compatible with macOS versions from 10.15 (Catalina) to current releases. However, the version we are selling is for Windows only.
Payment Security
Is my payment transaction secure?
Yes. Your purchase is protected by 2026 global security standards, including bank-level PCI-compliant encryption, AI-driven fraud monitoring, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to ensure absolute data safety.
What is the difference between Power PDF Standard and Advanced?
Power PDF Standard is designed for individual users and home offices, focusing on document creation, conversion, and basic editing. Unlike the Advanced version, it excludes enterprise features like redaction, Bates numbering, and DocuSign integration. It is the most cost-effective choice for those who need to manage PDFs without corporate security requirements.
