The software offers seamless conversion of various file formats, including Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, and plain-text, into Adobe PDF. Users can also merge PDFs and digitally sign them using their Windows Certificate store. The software is especially useful for archiving documents in PDF / A format.
One of Adobe PDF Converter's standout features is its use of print output for conversion into an Adobe Acrobat compatible PDF file. You'll be able to choose from a range of page sizes, orientations, and other options, such as watermark/stamp insertion, metadata access, and file resolutions (up to 2400 DPI). What's more, you'll be able to merge output from different applications into a single PDF, which is perfect for document management purposes.
Security is key when it comes to PDF documents, and Adobe PDF Converter doesn't disappoint: you can easily encrypt and add password protection and PDF permissions to your files. You can also embed file attachments and sign documents electronically using a digital certificate from the Windows Certificate store. And if you need to send a PDF file, there's no need to manually attach it to an email – the integrated SMTP client does it for you!
Another great feature is the ability to control metadata information saved to your PDF files. With Adobe PDF Converter, you can easily add a title, subject, author, and keywords to your documents. It's the perfect way to organize your files and make them easier to find.
But perhaps one of the most helpful features of Adobe PDF Converter is the batch conversion application, Print2PDF. This tool allows you to convert multiple office documents (including DOC, DOCX, ODT, XLS, XLSX, ODS, PPT, PPTX, ODP, AutoCAD DWF, HTML, EML, and MIME) to the Adobe Reader compatible PDF format in just one click. Plus, there's even a hyperlink, bookmark and TOC conversion macro for Microsoft Word.
Setting up default settings and custom profiles means you can control exactly how PDF files are created within your organization, and the software can be distributed through a prepared client installation or through a network shareable printer for ease of use.
The Premium Edition of Adobe PDF Converter boasts even more impressive features, such as ISO 19005-1 PDF/A-1a support, multi-language support, ISO 15930-1 PDF/X support, PDF file attachments, a web conversion application, web service with SOAP, Microsoft Word and Excel 2007 support, enhanced profile-only support, JPEG 2000 Image compression, a redesigned Windows service, and the ability to integrate with watch folders, watch pop3 accounts, and web services.
Overall, Adobe PDF Converter (DOC to PDF) offers an impressive range of features and excellent functionality that make it a must-have for any Windows-based business.
