What's New in Version 5

New! PDF Packages
Organize information and simplify sharing with PDF packages. PDF Packages can be created directly from within PDF Create, and can store multiple files and multiple file types within a single PDF package file. Learn more.

Improved! ISO PDF/A Support
The International Standards Organization (ISO) has officially published the specification for 19005-1 PDF/A, a specification of PDF for the long-term preservation of archived documents. PDF Create has made significant improvements in its support of this important new PDF specification, as well as PDF 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7.

New! 1.7 PDF Support
Support for creating PDF files that are compliant with Adobe specifications 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 gives you the greatest flexibility in working with PDF.

New! New profiles for creating PDF files
With the Searchable PDF profile Searchable PDF files can be created from image files or Image-only PDF files using OCR for extracting text from images. The PDF with MRC Compression profile is useful for creating compressed PDF files from documents scanned to image files. It has most value for documents with grayscale or color pictures or backgrounds. You can choose how to balance image quality against file size. Creation of Searchable MRC PDF with the combination of both features is also possible.

PDF-A Support
The PDF-A archiving standard ensures today's PDF files will be able to display and print appropriately for years to come. A new PDF-A button can turn any PDF file into the archive format instantly. Creates PDF files that are compliant with the new public specification from the International Standards Organization, 19005-1 PDF/A.

Superior Creation Speed
Produces PDF files up to 300% faster than alternatives.

Small Native File Sizes
Creates PDF files that are dramatically smaller than the original document. Supports industry-standard compression options, including loss-less, JPEG 2000 and enables optimization for the Web.

PDF File Size Optimizer
The PDF Optimizer allows you to minimize the size of files without compromising the quality. A host of size reduction approaches from down sampling, to compression, and unembedding fonts, allow documents to be ideally sized for sharing and archiving.

PDF Create Assistant
The PDF Create Assistant makes it a breeze to batch process documents and set up profiles so you have batch settings pre-configured for different types of documents.

Organize information and simplify sharing with PDF packages PDF packages allow you to use PDF files like folders, grouping multiple documents and document types within a single PDF Package file. Now you can organize entire groups of information such as case files, tax information, course work, or training materials within a single file. And sharing all of your grouped information is now as simple as emailing that one packaged file. What's more, unlike combining files, each document in the PDF package maintains its own page settings and security settings. As a result, each document within the package can be viewed, edited, and formatted independently of the other documents contained within the PDF package. Benefits of a PDF Package Organization: Now you can organize entire groups of information such as case files, tax information, course work, or training materials within a single file. Sharing: Sharing your grouped information is now as simple as emailing a single PDF Package file. Searching: Users viewing the PDF Package can search across the currently selected document or search across all of the documents within the PDF package Printing: Users viewing the PDF Package can choose to print the currently selected document or print all of the documents within the PDF package. Incorporating other formats: Multiple files and multiple file types can be included within a PDF Package. Non-PDF files can be added to an existing PDF package in their native format by simply selecting the file and dragging it into the package. When selected, non-PDF files included within a package will open in their native application, and therefore they cannot leverage the searching and printing capabilities described above.

Passwords and Security
Secure PDF files by requiring others to know a password in order to view or print a document. 40-bit and 128-bit encryption can also be applied to a PDF file with the user able to control whether the document can be viewed, printed, edited, copied or annotated. Security Profiles can be created so that applying security to your documents can be as simple as a drag-and-drop.

Built-in Digital Signature Capability
Unlike other PDF solutions, PDF Converter Professional includes everything you need to digitally sign documents for protection and authentication of information. No certificate from a third-party vendor is necessary.

Automated Batch Creation
The PDF Create Assistant makes it fast and easy to create PDF documents--from multiple files and multiple file types at the same time. Use drag & drop to add files to a batch, or simply select a range of pages you wish to turn into PDF files.

Merging Documents
Select a range of original files or different types and have them copied as PDF files--into separate PDF files, into a single combined PDF document, or grouped within a PDF Package. You can also merge multiple documents into a single PDF file page-by-page, which is ideal for merging letter text into a letterhead template document, or to merge form data into a form template.

Watermarks and Stamps
Apply watermarks and stamps to your documents from a pre-made library or create your own. Custom watermarks can be applied from other PDF files or created from within the PDF Create Assistant.

Advanced Font Embedding, Graphics and Page Size Controls
Supports font embedding for all standard and non-standard fonts, shading and transparency conversions. Select the graphics resolution and control PDF page size and orientation. Supports the creation of custom page sizes and automatically scales in inches, millimeters and points.

Automatic PDF-to-e-Mail
Choose to have PDF files automatically added as an attachment to an e-mail message simplifying the sharing of documents over the Internet.

Thin Client Citrix and Windows Terminal Services Support
Putting PDF Converter Professional on every desktop is affordable and easy. The product supports a configurable push install and management using MSI, and also supports running over Citrix and Microsoft Windows Terminal Services thin client environments.

International Language Support
Supports international double-byte character sets enabling creation of PDF documents using almost any Latin, Cyrillic or Asian character set.
