Set as Default PDF Application

  1. Once installed, open Settings.
  2. Navigate to Apps > Default Apps.
  3. Search for .pdf.
  4. Select Kofax Power PDF as the default application.

Verification

After installation is complete, open any PDF file to confirm it opens in Kofax Power PDF and that the application is set as the default PDF viewer.

Troubleshooting

Installation fails with UAC prompt. Ensure you have the correct LAPS administrator credentials for the local machine. The credentials required are the local administrator account, not domain credentials.

Kofax does not appear as default PDF application. Manually navigate to Settings > Apps > Default Apps and search for .pdf. Select Kofax Power PDF if it does not appear as the default.
