To use a PDF toolbar in other applications, Kofax Power PDF should be integrated in these applications. You can enable or disable the integration during a Custom Setup.

If you do not see these buttons in the tab of an integrated application, see Troubleshooting.

The Kofax PDF tab offers tools for PDF creation and unlocking (conversion). The three Create buttons correspond to the Kofax PDF menu items.

In Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, there is no Convert Settings tool, since these programs accept Standard document processing only.
