Qoppa Software, a leading PDF software company based in Atlanta, announces version 2022 of PDF Studio, their powerful, intuitive PDF Editor for Windows, Mac and Linux. The latest version is packed with tools to enhance work productivity for our most advanced and professional users. PDF Studio 2022 provides a powerful, smooth and unified solution to help accomplish almost any task involving PDF documents across various platforms, all within the same application.
Here are some of the new exciting features included in this version:
PDF Studio 2022 provides a new Action Wizard to easily automate repetitive tasks required to be performed on PDF documents on a regular basis. Users create their own custom actions by selecting however many commands or functions they need and by pre-setting them with specific options. Saved actions can then be started with a single click to apply all the recorded steps to either a single document or a chosen set of documents, saving users time and keystrokes.
Another feature that should enhance productivity is the new Session Manager. This feature allows users to save the full list of documents opened in the application as a session, and reopen all of them later with a single click, restoring the various frames and documents within the same frames and in the same document tabs. For ease of convenience, sessions can be named, searched and deleted. For convenience, PDF Studio will also automatically save your last session each time the application is exited. Professionals whose workflow entails sets of documents should find this feature very helpful such as a lawyer who could possibly save a session per active case, an accountant per tax customer, a doctor per patient, and so forth…
Book and magazine publishers will be delighted with the new Automatic Table of Contents Generation dialog that allows users to build a table of content directly from the bookmark tree contained in a PDF document with a single click. Users can choose among multiple customization options including fonts, format and margins in order to customize the resulting output to their exact liking and requirements. Page labels are supported when present in the document in lieu of page numbers.
Converting PDF to Word is now possible on all platforms including macOS and Linux, without the need of having Microsoft Word installed on the machine. PDF Studio 2022 offers 2-way conversion (from PDF to Word and from Word to PDF) so users can transform their documents to make specific edits in the more reflowable Word format and then conveniently convert them back to the more sharable PDF format. Like the majority of functions in PDF Studio, the new PDF to Word conversion was developed by our own team of experts using our extensive knowledge of both the PDF and the Word formats. This feature is marked as beta, as we continue to publish improvements to the new conversion engine over the next few months. The text with its various fonts and styling as well as images in a Word document are pretty straight forward to interpret and convert but it will require a few iterations to perfect the layout of documents for elements such as as paragraphs, tables and columns.
Additional Prepress and Print Production functions were included in PDF Studio 2022, among them Color Separation in Output Preview, PDF/X Conversion, and a new option to customize the PDF/A Mode, i.e., the way the application behaves when opening PDF/A documents marked for archiving.
Version 2022 also comes with an abundance of performance and usability enhancements to the existing features including comments pane improvements, an additional customization option for theme and icon colors, easier tools to add pdf contents onto pages, PDF stamps with data capture, a preference to add comments summary when printing, updated document storage API, PDF to RTF conversion, etc… See the full list of PDF Studio 2022 features.
Overall, PDF Studio Version 2022 continues to simplify our users’ experience when they perform complicated tasks on PDF documents, by providing more powerful and sophisticated tools to work in-depth with documents. As usual, all new features are available on all platforms, Windows 10 & Windows 11, macOS 12 Monterey, and various Linux distros (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Mint)! Download PDF Studio 2022 Now!

There is no denying how crucial documents are to running a company. We use documents for sundry use cases—contracts, agreements, expense reports, accounting records, and so on. Accordingly, the way a business manages its documents will have a direct effect on the success of the organization. That’s why tools like document management software come in very handy in organizational operations.
Document management systems, also known as DMS, refer to any computer software that keeps, handles, maintains, and manages electronic documents. These are acquired through the use of a scanner or any app that you can use to convert files and documents to the format that you need.
You can think of it as online or electronic boxes or cabinets where you keep your organization’s valuable data. Using a document management software makes files secure and accessible for the employees. Having clear document workflow solutions and effective file management workflow help make a significant portion of operations more seamless, bringing all kinds of advantages to the organization.
The document management software market could reach $6.78 billion by 2023, reflecting its central role in keeping businesses and organizations humming. Its benefits are well known.
When shifting to paperless operations, employing the help of document management software is the only way to go through the process. The pandemic has taught organizations to be ready for worst-case scenarios. While there are many factors to consider in making companies and organizations pandemic-proof, using document management software is one of them. Here are some of the reasons you should use document management software.
Companies grow and improve through various means, and maximizing existing company resources is one of them. Company resources are not just limited to electricity, water and manpower. It also refers to workspaces and office supplies. Imagine having more spaces for your teams and employees because you can free up a room previously used for filing cabinets. Think about buying lesser paper and other office supplies because your files are already in the document management software. Then there is e-signature technology that helps companies save up to $20 per document.
There are many ways that document management software can help save money. By doing so, you can allocate them to something that would grow the company’s mission, values and culture and empower employees.
Some factors that slow down administrative processes within an organization are the unavailability of approving bodies or sometimes just the tedious processes that no longer work for dynamic organizations. Up to 21% of company productivity loss connects to poor document management practices. But with document management software, companies can get signatures electronically, speeding up the approval on expense requests, client onboarding, and anything that needs the clearance of a manager.
This is most beneficial for acquiring and onboarding new clients because partnerships no longer have to take too long to materialize. With the right document management software, you can automate document workflow and acquire a more efficient approval process.
Using document management software is much safer than simply emailing a PDF for signing. Using document management software increases your business’ security. It also improves your partners’ or clients’ confidence in you.
Some transactions in the company need another layer of security and protection due to the confidential information some documents have. This benefit applies to financial documents, client data forms, confidential agreements, and many more others.
More and more companies and employees are now learning how to be more agile and adaptive when it comes to changes in the organization. But people are generally resistant to change. Integrating a new system like document management software that would help automate document workflow will still prove to be difficult to some, even most employees and key members.
When document processing becomes more seamless, the whole company, its employees, key players, partners and clients will benefit from it. Here are seven tips on making the processing of documents easier and more seamless.
Integrating a new document management software requires a specific team to champion and focus on it. Ineffective integrations of new systems or processes in companies are often due to a lack of proper planning and execution. That is why even something as simple as having document management software requires a team to implement it in the organization.
One useful strategy in integrating document management software is to make it user-friendly to everyone by using automation. Automations help users navigate through the document management software with ease and without being overwhelmed by too many details.
Using templates for common documents that companies use is a good way of making the processes of documents easier. Because companies already have identified which kinds of documents they need in every transaction, whether that is client acquisition, client onboarding, or approving expense requests, they can already provide templates for every document they need.
Most likely, you’ll encounter an issue with a file type in your document repository. Thankfully, some document management tools come with a PDF editor so you don’t have to worry about making changes to the templates.
Having an online repository for all your past documents vastly improves your files’ accessibility. Doing this also decreases the chances of losing important documents needed by the company. Also, in the event of worst-case scenarios like fires or earthquakes, your company’s files, data, and important information are safe and retrievable because most digital document repositories get stored in the cloud.
Setting up integrations in your company’s document management systems will help speed up various parts of your operations. For example, integrating a document management software with some examples of accounting software can remove friction when getting expense requests signed by the appropriate managers.
You can also build out these automated workflows with other kinds of business software. Some companies integrate client onboarding software with document management systems to automatically file client information and store them in a secure database.
Regardless of the size of a company, there is still a need to control the people who have access to certain documents. Your file management workflow must be both seamless

Here are some of the new exciting features included in this version:
New accessibility features consist of accessibility color options and the text-to-speech (read out loud) feature.

When documents are open, web links within documents are automatically recognized and made active on the page, so users can simply click on the link to open the corresponding URLs. Recent open files can now be searched making it easier for users to identify a specific document within the long list of recent files.
The comments pane offers new options for users to sort/filter comments pane. Comments displayed in the comments pane and on the document are filtered out based on comments properties such as author, color, annotation types, etc. This feature should be helpful for users who regularly review and markup documents.

Qoppa Software, a leading PDF software company, announces version 2021 of PDF Studio, their powerful, intuitive PDF Editor for Windows, macOS and Linux. The latest version is packed with enhancements that will aid users in the efficiency of their daily workflow when creating new documents or enhancing the content of their existing documents. It includes new accessibility options to assist users with impairments and refines its existing tools to make them more functional and customizable.
Here are some of the new exciting features included in this version:
PDF Studio 2021 provides new accessibility color options when rendering documents to help accommodate users who are visually impaired or working in dimly lit environments and give them an easier reading experience. Text and background colors can be adjusted to one of the default higher contrast color schemes provided, or can be fully customized by the user.
Another accessibility feature that has been added is Read Out Loud, a Text-to-Speech (TTS) tool that is able to read the document text aloud and assist users with reading impairments. This tool can be activated through the ribbon toolbar or a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + V).
Content editing has been improved to automatically recognize and highlight the different paragraphs, columns, and sections present on the page, allowing users to immediately identify the different text area sections. The text reflow has been refined for consistency and reliability.
A new content explorer panel was added to assist with content editing. It allows users to view the overall structure of a document by displaying all content objects contained in the document in a hierarchical tree format. This permit users to easily identify and select content objects present on a page, including text, images, paths, shades and containers objects.
The flatten annotations feature has been enhanced to offer an option to allow “unflattening annotations” subsequently and reverse the flattening action, so users are able to continue making edits and revisions. Flattening annotations is used by professionals such as architects to consolidate review annotations within the content of their documents before sharing them with their clients. This process guarantees consistent reading of a document across operating systems and alternative PDF applications being used.
Additional preflight functions were included in PDF Studio 2021. These functions are PDF/A 2u & PDF/ A 3u validation & conversion. These sub-formats are used for scientific articles or journals to validate documents containing Unicode text and mathematical calculations.

Qoppa Software, a leading producer of PDF software, announces version 2020 of PDF Studio, their powerful, intuitive PDF Editor for Windows, macOS and Linux. This version contains many improvements to the user interface to enhance the overall application usability:
The PDF Studio 2020 version allows users to open multiple documents in a single tab instead of individual frames. This will make it easier and more convenient for professionals working on multiple documents at once, such as a lawyer who could open all documents related to a case into a single window. Right click menu options on those tabs offer options to perform quick tasks, such as sending a document to a separate frame, etc. If the user prefers the former behavior, a setting makes it possible to revert back to opening documents or windows.
The PDF Studio 2020 version also comes with a redesigned vertical comments pane, now located on the right side of the application in a vertical format. This newly designed pane enhances the users’ ability to review and easily navigate through comments in a document. Notes can be edited directly in the pane and new export formats are available.
A new “Find Tools” search box was added in the PDF Studio 2020 version in the top right of the frame to help locate tools efficiently. When a user begins typing in the search box, results for tools that match will appear in real time. Users can select the tool they wish to use and are redirected to the correct tab on the ribbon toolbar with the corresponding tool appearing highlighted.
A new license key management tool is available in this version to qualifying customers. The tool allows IT personnel and administrators to manage registrations of their staff or team. It makes it easier for them to review and manage registrations of users within their staff or team. The tool includes many features such as a dashboard with quick links to key management and support tools, the ability to claim multiple keys under a single login, and more — see here fore a complete list. The tool can be granted upon request to companies with more than 10 licenses and an active subscription or upgrade plan.
There are many other user interface improvements and features included in the 2020 version. Some of the additions are: easy color changing for annotations tools, enhancing the application default Initial view to hide thumbnails and fit to width, enhancing some dialog to no longer be modal which permits users to continue working on other frames when running a long OCR or printing process, a new batch process to export annotations, the option to change z-order of content objects, Excel to PDF conversion enhancements, etc… See the full list of new features.
Version 2020 contains many interface changes along with new tools, making it possible to view, annotate and navigate through documents even more easily and efficiently!
