Generate professional PDF documents
from within all Windows applications, using
features such as font embedding, document protection and image
compression.
Can be used as unlicensed freeware in cases
of noncommercial use only.
Sending documents:
The converted document can be e-mailed directly. When e-mailing
the converted document, you can optionally predefine a default
recipient, subject and body and whether the mail is first to be
displayed before it is sent or is to be sent immediately.
Encrypt document:
Using encryption, you can control what possibilities the
reader has when using your document. When converting, you
can choose
whether the reader
can print the document or not
can change the document or not
can add notes to the document or not
can make form entries or not
can copy parts of the document into the clipboard or
not
can make modifications to pages
can open the document with or without
a password
and whether contents can be read using a screen reader.
At the same time, the password assigned for the security
options always ensures full access to your document.
Embed
character fonts:
By embedding character fonts, you can reliably ensure that
your document is displayed with the character fonts chosen
by you,
even if they are not installed on the reader's system.
In this way, your corporate identity retains the same look and
feel
across all platforms.
Character font options: Here, you can check what character
fonts the current document contains and select which
of them are to
be embedded.
Basic rules for character font options: Here, you define
the basic specifications for character-font embedding.
You choose
what character fonts are always embedded and what ones
are never embedded.
Optimizing the storage space requirement for pictures:
Using this, you can considerably reduce the file size of
documents containing pictures. Various resolutions
and a continuously
adjustable compression rate are available.
