Nuance Power PDF Standard is a Windows program for working with documents in the Adobe PDF format. It is possible to modify individual text blocks and import custom images. Users can encrypt resulting files with a personal password to prevent unauthorized access to confidential information.

Editing process

The main interface contains buttons for tuning the size, style and color of the text. Flexible paragraph alignment options are provided as well. The page size is customizable. Users can automatically organize the content into several columns.

There is a text recognition module for converting scanned documents to editable form. However, specialized utilities like ABBYY FineReader are better suited for this purpose.

It is important to mention that Nuance Power PDF Standard is discontinued and no longer supported by its developer. No installation file is available. It was succeeded by Kofax Power PDF.

Security instruments
