The bigger the DC caps, the worse the power factor.

AC caps, however, can make the power factor better.

Reducing THD in the AC waveform, caused by current surge by AC to DC converters, is also power factor correction in broad sense.

"The capacitance be in parallel AC filter" in my original post was the capacitance of AC capacitor.
