Txt2pdf PRO 9.x is an upgraded version of the txt2pdf PRO 8.x and txt2pdf 9.x, with significant improvements in performance and efficiency. It remains a useful tool in converting text files to PDF format.
The PRO version of txt2pdf is distributed only in executable binaries but special circumstances can warrant the provision of source code. The binary-only outlook makes it easier to install and simpler to use. The software can stand alone without the requirement of Perl or any other Perl modules or libraries.
Additionally, the PRO version comes with new features not available in the regular version. With its capabilities, users can transform old textual reports into visually pleasing graphical PDF reports. Users can easily integrate and harness the power of txt2pdf PRO. Some key features of Txt2pdf PRO are performance, compression, optimization, Form Feed, margins, landscape possibilities, FTP support, color and font customization, embedded true type fonts support, outline feature, and multitasking support.
Performance is a crucial factor while converting big files. Txt2pdf PRO medium performance doesn't convert word like http:// or ftp: to links as the Reader 7.x adds this feature also if not inside the pdf code. High performance, on the other hand, ignores fontmark and color settings. The software allows users to create compressed PDFs with the option to set the compression factor. Txt2pdf PRO will compress also EPD and embedded true type fonts. The optimization feature makes an optimized pdf code new.
Form Feed (^L) support complements the -skip1ff option, which enables users to skip the first Form Feed. The software also provides the possibility to set top, and left margins. Using the marker #!landscape# inside the text, at the beginning of a new page (e.g., after the form feed), can force the single page to become full landscape.
With FTP support, users can put the created PDF in a specified ftp site. It's possible to specify user, password, and the final directory. Inside layers (background and foreground), users can use the same txt2pdf features plus the #!image# to add RGB JPEG images and #!link# to add links. The software also comes with an embedded true type font support (see linedraw and barcode examples) and outline feature to set in outline.txt the rules for bookmarks. Users can customize the software to add colors, fonts, and links with their personal or standard tags.
Txt2pdf PRO comes with the option to change the background of the first page with begin1 and bgdesignlast to change the background of the last page. The software also provides the possibility to set the position (x,y) of the annotation icon in the first page. For those who require multitasking, the software comes with the possibility to ask an executable with outside the libraries to support multitasking.
This release includes bug fixes such as the deletion of temporary files on AIX and HPUX and a bug in Czech, Polish, and Thai fonts on Unix with the Perl txt2pdf version. Overall, Txt2pdf PRO 9.x is an ideal software for anyone who requires the conversion of big files with customizable options to make visually pleasing graphical PDF reports.
