Buy Kofax (now Tungsten Automation) Software Licenses at SuperKeyStore
Kofax built well-known document software for Windows offices: Power PDF for creating and editing PDF files, PaperPort for scanning and organizing paper documents, and OmniPage for optical character recognition (OCR). In 2024 the company renamed itself Tungsten Automation, but the existing Kofax products remain in wide use.
This page suits small businesses, legal and accounting offices, and home users who handle many scanned files. Choose between Kofax Power PDF 5.1 Standard, Kofax Power PDF 5.1 Advanced and Kofax PaperPort 14.8 Professional, among others. You receive a license key and a download link by email, usually within minutes.
Why buy a Kofax license?
Kofax software replaces paper workflows with searchable digital files:
- Edit PDFs like Word files: Power PDF lets you change text and images, reorder pages and fill forms without returning to the source file.
- Accurate conversion: Power PDF and OmniPage convert PDFs and scans into editable Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
- Organized scanning: PaperPort turns scanned pages into a visual desktop of thumbnails, so you can stack, sort and find documents quickly.
- Searchable archives: OCR adds a text layer to scanned files, so you can search old contracts and invoices by keyword.
- Security tools: The Advanced edition of Power PDF adds redaction, Bates numbering and stronger document protection for legal and compliance work.
What are the main features of Kofax?
Each Kofax product covers one part of the paper-to-digital workflow:
1. PDF editing and creation
Power PDF creates PDFs from any printable file and edits text, images and pages directly. Office workers can correct a contract or form without the original Word file.
2. Conversion to Office formats
Power PDF and OmniPage export PDFs to Word, Excel and PowerPoint while keeping layout and tables. This saves retyping for finance and admin teams.
3. OCR for scanned paper
OmniPage and the OCR engine in Power PDF recognize text in scanned pages in many languages. Archives become searchable and copyable.
4. Scan management
PaperPort shows documents as thumbnails on a desktop, stacks pages and connects to most scanners. Small offices use it to file letters, receipts and records.
5. Redaction and security
Power PDF Advanced removes sensitive text permanently, applies passwords and adds Bates numbers. Legal and compliance teams depend on these tools.
Which Kofax product is right for you?
Choose Power PDF if you mainly create and edit PDFs, PaperPort if you scan and file paper, and OmniPage if you need high-volume text recognition.
| Product | Best for | Platform | License |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kofax Power PDF 5.1 Standard | Everyday PDF creation, editing and conversion | Windows | One-time purchase |
| Kofax Power PDF 5.1 Advanced | Offices that need redaction, Bates numbering and advanced security | Windows | One-time purchase |
| Kofax Power PDF 4.0 Standard | Users who prefer the previous version at a lower price | Windows | One-time purchase |
| Kofax PaperPort 14.8 Professional | Scanning, filing and sharing documents in small offices | Windows | One-time purchase |
| Kofax PaperPort 14 Standard | Home users who scan bills and letters | Windows | One-time purchase |
| Kofax OmniPage Standard | Converting scans and images into editable text | Windows | One-time purchase |
If you are unsure between versions, the newer 5.1 release brings an updated interface and improved conversion, while 4.0 covers the same core tasks for a lower price. PaperPort 14.8 Professional also adds network folder support and more scanner options than the Standard edition, which matters when several people share one scanner.
What are the system requirements for Kofax?
Kofax desktop products run on current 64-bit Windows; check each product's System Requirements tab, since older versions list older Windows releases.
| Component | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 11 or Windows 10 |
| Processor | 1.5 GHz or faster processor |
| Memory (RAM) | 4 GB recommended |
| Disk space | About 1-2 GB for installation |
| Other | Internet connection for activation; scanner with TWAIN or WIA driver for PaperPort |
Older releases such as Power PDF 4.0 and PaperPort 14 also run on Windows 10 and 11. For scanning, make sure your scanner has a current TWAIN or WIA driver from its maker, because PaperPort and OmniPage talk to the scanner through that driver. A fast SSD helps when you convert or search large PDF files with hundreds of pages.

What happens to my Kofax license if I reinstall or format my computer?

Yes. Uninstall or deactivate the software on the old computer, then install it on the new PC and enter your serial number. The editions sold here are Windows products; Mac users need a separate product.
Keep the email with your serial number in a safe place, or save it in a password manager. You will need it for every reinstall, and it also proves your purchase if you contact support.
