When you work with documents every day, you learn very quickly that good software is not defined by how many features it has. It is defined by how it makes you feel while you work. And the most important feeling of all is this: being in control.
That may sound simple, but that’s the core of it — being able to get things done without friction, without unnecessary steps, without the sense that the document is standing in your way. Today, November 11, with the release of Power PDF 2025.3, we are taking a step that has been growing quietly in the background for a long time. Not because the technology wasn’t ready but because doing this right required care. Power PDF has always been a strong, reliable desktop editor. Now, it is also a tool that works where collaboration actually happens today: in the browser, in Microsoft Teams, between offices, time zones, and people who may not be sitting next to each other, but still need to work together.
That might be the biggest shift: Power PDF is opening up without losing what makes it the loved PDF editor from Tungsten Automation. You can now edit PDFs directly in the new Cloud Editor, right in your browser, with no installation required. And with the Microsoft Teams integration, discussions and reviews stay where conversations already happen. No more attachments, no more “Can you send me version 3.1?”, no more searching through folder structures. Collaboration suddenly feels natural – and calm.
How we got here
Power PDF carries a long history – not just as a product on a shelf, but as a companion to millions of hours of real work.
From Nuance, to Kofax, to Tungsten Automation, the journey has been shaped by constant feedback from law firms, public administrations, universities, healthcare providers, manufacturing teams, enterprises, and individual professionals who simply needed things to work.
We learned:
- People don’t ask for more features.
- They ask for less friction.
- They don’t want to “learn software”.
- They want to get their work done.
Power PDF has never defined itself by hype, but by consistency. And yet (or perhaps because of that) it has never stood still.
What makes this release different
The foundation has been strengthened and you can feel it immediately. Power PDF 2025.3 now runs natively in 64-bit and includes support for Windows 11 on ARM. That might just sound very technical. But what it means is simple: faster response, greater stability, and better alignment with the devices people are actually using today.
Then there is accessibility, which is no longer something “extra”, it’s part of how we take responsibility for the information we share. With support for PDF/UA-2 and improved tools to make accessible documents easier to create and review, Power PDF helps organizations meet standards without making it feel like a specialist task.
And yes, we also refined the experience. The interface is cleaner. The workflow is smoother. Little points of friction have disappeared.
That’s not an accident.
That’s feedback.
Your feedback.
A release built together with its users
If you listen long enough, you notice patterns. The most helpful ideas rarely appear in boardrooms. They appear in the small details of everyday work.
In our case, they came from:
- A series of customer conversations.
- Service tickets and shared screens.
- Workshops and internal enablement sessions.
- A comment in a training room in Helsinki.
- A suggestion picked-up in Chicago.
- Or feedback from a small training group somewhere in Somerset that ultimately changed an entire dialog flow.
Software is never done. And also Power PDF isn’t finished now. But it has grown and it is growing with the people who use it.
