PDF Studio 6.6 Released with New Tool Chest

Qoppa Software, a leading provider of PDF solutions,  announces the new release of PDF Studio TM 6.6 which increases user control and ease of use.   Qoppa continues to deliver updates and enhancements to the already best priced, high performance PDF annotation editor available on Windows, Mac, and Linux.   Quietly listed among the ‘minor enhancements’ in this release is Qoppa’s recently announced ability to import text and MS Word files, converting them immediately to PDF.

“We are pleased to be able to pack so many major upgrades for our customers into this minor release, only a few months after our last revision” says Leila Caison, Director of Product.  “As more users adopt the PDF format and move toward the paperless office, they want more and more sophisticated features, and Qoppa Software delivers.”

PDF Studio 6.6 enhancements deliver on 6 features, each of which may appeal to a different portion of Qoppa’s broad customer base.

  • PDF Studio Pro now offers a tool chest pane, to save time accessing and managing annotations.  User’s most recent annotations as well as user favorites are saved and displayed under the Tool Chest pane, making it easy to apply the same annotations many times.
  • Custom stamps are further enabled in this release.  In addition to existing image and text stamps, PDF Studio 6.6 now offers even more sophisticated custom stamps that include multiple annotations in a single stamp and support dynamic fields such as date and time.
  • User efficiency is enhanced with the new support for group annotations.  Multiple annotations can be grouped, so they function as a single unit when the user interacts with them.
  • Through the new Drag and Drop into Thumbnail panes mechanism, image files, text files, and MS Word files immediately convert to PDF and are imported as new PDF pages into the current working PDF document.
  • Windows and Linux users will gain the option to use the native file dialog of their operating system (as Mac users always have) instead of the Java Swing file dialog. Native dialogs offer  more functionality (e.g. auto-completion) and users are more familiar with them.
  • International users who use non-Latin characters (such as Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Asian, Greek, and Cyrillic) will find the ability to edit Unicode text in annotation content, and within document properties, including author, subject, and description.

This update is available for immediate download by existing PDF Studio customers.

MS Word to PDF Document Conversion Released by Qoppa Software

Qoppa Software, a leading provider of PDF solutions, today announces general release of their MS Word document conversion software. jWordConvert™ supports converting MS Word files to PDF documents, to image files, and printing MS Word files.

The conversion functionality will also be released into PDF Studio, Qoppa’s PDF editor, and PDF Automation Server, Qoppa’s workflow solution, bringing more value to these other products.

Java Word to PDF Document Conversion by Qoppa Software

Qoppa Software, a leading provider of PDF solutions, today announces beta testing of their Word to PDF document conversion engine.

Qoppa has released a Java library version for integration into 3rd party systems, and will integrate this conversion functionality into their existing applications, PDF Studio and PDF Automation Server.

“When compared to other products, the advantage of Qoppa’s conversion engine is that it doesn’t require any third party software to run. Other products require Ghostcript, the Open Office server, or MS Word to interpret Word documents. Additionally, Qoppa’s library is small and 100% Java so it runs on all platforms, including Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac.“ says Gerald Holmann, President of Qoppa Software.

jWordConvert™ currently supports converting Word documents to PDF documents. As a natural progression, the engine is slated to support converting Word to images as well as directly printing Word documents in the upcoming version.

More Info: http://www.eventsbot.com/events/eb332228098

For many years we have heard the mantra of going paperless. Business organizations of all sizes and industries of all types have sought to minimize their paper use and reduce costs and carbon footprint while at the same time increasing operating efficiencies and profitability. This is no small task and it requires not only the proper use of technology but also change. Change in our Ways of Working (WoW) and change in our corporate culture. It requires change in the way we think. This is perhaps the hardest challenge of all. Going paperless and the change required to get there.

Qoppa Software™ Leads the Way in Automated PDF Document Handling

Qoppa Software™, a leading provider of PDF solutions, is pleased to announce further refinement of our PDF Automation Server™ (PAS). This unique multi-platform product automates the receiving, processing, and routing of PDF documents. Able to accept incoming documents from email, ftp servers, and local or network folders, PAS can then perform a wide range of manipulations, based on preset criteria. Once changed, both the original files and the new versions can be routed to a range of destinations.

“PDF documents are an integral part of business workflow today. Most document suites require operator attention to accept, process, and then route PDF documents. Our software delivers the ability to accept documents from multiple sources simultaneously, execute appropriate maniuplation based on pre-defined criteria, and then output the original and modified documents to multiple destinations. PAS is designed for maximum efficiency, including the ability to manage this workflow from wherever they like, and even choose their operating system since our software is also cross-platform.” says Gerald Holmann, president of Qoppa Software.

Among the operations that be performed by PAS, are printing, preflight, security management, assembling, merging, splitting, cropping pages, converting to/from images, extracting data, merging data, flattening fields and annotations, stamping, and importing/exporting annotations.

PDF Automation Server is entirely based on Qoppa Software proprietary PDF technology. It is a stable, reliable and affordable alternative to manual intervention, and works on Windows, Mac and Linux.
