Don’t retype your documents

If you must work with PDF documents in other applications, don’t waste valuable time recreating them – convert them. Complex layouts with columns, tables and graphics are faithfully reproduced in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Corel WordPerfect documents. You also get exceptional spreadsheet control and features to allow you to combine all pages of a PDF document into a single Excel worksheet to eliminate tedious cutting and pasting. You can even select, copy and convert only the selected areas of text you need from a PDF document.

Combine and assemble documents with ease

Combine files and remove or replace pages with drag and drop ease. View and select pages from a source document — such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Corel WordPerfect, JPG, BMP or, TIF or XPS — to insert into a target document. Just drag and drop the pages add them into the PDF file.

Turn paper into PDF more productively

Create PDF files directly from your scanner with time-saving one-click scanning to PDF. Scan to standard image, searchable, or editable PDF formats. Scan and highlight, cross-out or underline— all in a single step. You can even set up and manage central network scan inboxes that also connect to eCopy ShareScan®.

Produce more professional-looking documents

Deliver documents that look as good in print as they do on screen — no matter where you send or view them. Combine any type of file and/or folder into striking PDF Portfolios — with attractive cover pages that guide your audience — that can be viewed with any popular PDF reader. You can even add pictures, graphics, movies, audio or 3D drawings to PDF documents to communicate your message with attention-grabbing style.

Connect your documents to the Cloud

Now you can save and access your stored documents in the Cloud by connecting directly to Box, Google Docs™, Windows Live® SkyDrive®, Office 365, Evernote® and Dropbox. This gives you access to your documents anytime, anywhere through the web or by the applications of supported mobile devices.

Speak your notes

Use integrated Dragon Notes to easily speak and see your text created as notes within your PDF without typing – it’s fast, accurate, saves time and increases productivity.

Collect information with forms

Don’t let the hassle of filling out long forms slow your business down. FormTyper™ automatically converts non-fillable forms into fillable PDF forms that you can complete, save and email. Create forms from scratch using easy to use form drawing tools. Export information in filled in forms so you can sort, search and analyse the data using popular database and spreadsheet file types such as XFDF, XML, TXT and CSV files.

Ensure PDF/A compliance

Take advantage of a simplified way to meet PDF/A compliance requirements. Users are notified if a PDF/A file does not meet compliance requirement, so they can fix them on the fly – further saving time and making sure the files are in full compliance. The PDF/A Compliance Checker can analyse PDF files for PDF/A-1a, -1b, -2a, -2b, and PDF/A-2u compliance.

Save documents directly to document management systems

Users can save PDFs to the most popular document management systems (DMS) now easier than ever by accessing them directly from the Save As menu, from the Portfolio mode or from Internet Explorer. Simplifying this process saves users time while providing them with faster, easier access to the DMS solutions they are already working with.

Perform smarter searches

Get accurate conversion to searchable PDF files. Search everything in a document — even the contents of bookmarks and comments — so you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. Use the intelligent Looks Like Search™ capability to quickly find content, like phone numbers, email addresses and credit card numbers, via an alphanumeric pattern rather than exact text. Automatically highlight, cross out or underline search results for faster, easier PDF editing.

Enhance document security

Add passwords with secure 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption and permission controls to PDF files to control document viewing, printing and modifications. Use the advanced redaction capabilities and automatically inspect documents and remove sensitive data for safe, secure document sharing. Authenticate document owners using self-signing, Microsoft Crypto or third-party digital signatures. Or flatten everything in a document, including signatures, stamps, mark-ups, annotations, filled form fields and graphics for enhanced document security. This feature is especially useful for limiting document modification during archiving or e-filing.
