    Creates 100% industry-standard PDF files that can be read, printed, or processed by popular PDF viewer programs - such as Nuance PaperPort® Professional and Adobe® Acrobat and Acrobat Reader®. Supports PDF versions 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and ISO PDF/A.

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.

    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.
