Booklet printing turns a multi-page document into a folded booklet.

Nouveau PDF Studio 11 avec: vérification orthographique, reconnaissance optique de caractères non-latins (OCR), Aperçu de la sortie et boite de dialogue d’impression améliorée

pdfstudio11_splash

Qoppa Software, un des principaux vendeurs de logiciels PDF, a sorti la 11ème version de PDF Studio, son éditeur PDF performant et facile à utiliser, compatible avec Windows, Mac OS X et Linux.  De nouvelles fonctionnalités ont été ajoutées à cette 11ème version, y compris la vérification orthographique, la reconnaissance optique de caractères non latins, l’aperçu de surimpression, et une nouvelle boite de dialogue d’impression.

spell_checkA la demande générale, PDF Studio est maintenant doté d’un correcteur d’ orthographe . Ce correcteur d’orthographe souligne les mots mal orthographiés lors de l’écriture d’un texte ou de commentaires,  ou lors du remplissage des champs. Les utilisateurs peuvent modifier différents paramètres, y compris la couleur de surlignage, ignorer tous les nom communs et les numéros, et ajouter/éditer des mots personnalisés dans le dictionnaire. PDF Studio 11 offre un choix de 9 langues  différentes et continue à assurer une vérification orthographique lorsque plusieurs langues sont utilisées! Les langues qui bénéficient d’un correcteur orthographique sont l’arabe, le néerlandais, l’anglais, le français, l’allemand, l’italien, le polonais, le russe, et l’espagnol.

cjkPDF Studio 11 contient également un tout nouveau moteur de reconnaissance optique de caractères (OCR) qui peut désormais s’appliquer aux langues non latines et au CJK (chinois, japonais, coréen). Un total de 46 nouvelles langues compatibles avec la reconnaissance optique de caractères sont maintenant disponibles, comme le chinois (simplifié et traditionnel), le japonais, l’hindi, l’arabe, et beaucoup d’autres. En plus des nouvelles langues, PDF Studio peut sélectionner 2 langues à utiliser en même temps pour les documents contenant plusieurs langues sur chaque page.

output_previewLes professionnels de l’industrie graphique pourront apprécier le nouvel aperçu de sortie, qui inclut une simulation de surimpression. L’aperçu de la sortie simule l’aspect qu’aura le document une fois imprimé, en utilisant différents profils couleurs, comme la quadrichromie CMJN (cyan, magenta, jaune, noir), le modèle RGB, et le gris. La surimpression simule l’aspect qu’auront les couleurs superposées, une fois mélangées. La couleur de fond d’un document peut également être changée pour simuler une impression sur différentes couleurs de papier.

printPDF Studio 11 contient une nouvelle boite de dialogue d’impression avec de nouvelles fonctionnalités, comme l’aperçu avant impression,  impression vers fichier et l’impression de brochures. L’aperçu avant impression permet aux utilisateurs de voir à quoi ressemble le document avant d’être imprimé et des ajustements peuvent être effectués en temps réel si nécessaire. L’impression vers fichier crée un fichier .prn au lieu d’imprimer directement vers l’imprimante, ce qui est utile si vous devez envoyer le document vers une imprimante spécifique qui n’est pas installée sur votre machine. La fonction brochure transforme un document multi-pages en un livret plié pour l’impression.

touchPDF Studio’s new Touch Mode will make it easier than ever to annotate and edit PDF documents using a pen, stylus or even a finger on tablets and touch enabled laptops.

Qoppa Software announces PDF Studio 9 with Interactive Form Designer, Advanced Redaction and PDF/A Conversion

logo for PDF Studio desktop PDF editorMay 2 2014 – Qoppa Software, a leading producer of PDF software, announces version 9 of PDF Studio, their powerful, easy to use PDF editing software for Windows, Mac and Linux. PDF Studio 9 adds an interactive form designer, an advanced redaction feature, conversion to PDF/A and numerous digital signatures and annotations enhancements.

PDF Studio 9 adds many advanced features for business users.” says Gerald Holmann, Qoppa Software President. “The enhancements in version 9 make PDF Studio ready to deploy to the enterprise and integrate into document workflows, from creation to archiving, through revision and approval process. Our goal is to provide an all-in-one, affordable PDF solution for all businesses and organizations, whether they are running Windows, Mac or Linux.”

Form Editor Toolbar

The new form designer in PDF Studio 9 allows users to create sophisticated interactive PDF forms. Businesses of all sizes can streamline paper-based workflows by using PDF forms to receive electronic data from partners, customers and employees. JavaScript is supported for form fields formatting, validation and calculations.

Redacting text and images in a PDF document

The advanced redaction function helps remove sensitive information from PDF documents prior to publication or release.  Redaction annotations are first added to cover confidential areas on page, then applied as a second step, or “burnt-in” into the document, to permanently delete the underlying text, images or shapes.

For long-term storage and archival of documents, governments, publishers and bigger organizations are converting PDF files to PDF/A. It is a strict subset of the PDF format which helps ensure that documents will render the same in the future as when they were saved. PDF Studio 9 provides PDF/A compliance verification as well as the ability to convert existing files to PDF/A format.

PDF Studio 9 adds various enhancements around digital signatures with new support for certifying signatures, time-stamps, Windows and Mac certificate managers, the latest AES 256 encryption, and other security features such as enforcing and clearing usage right enablement, and accessing  server protected textbooks.

 

With version 9, it is also easier than ever to review and comment PDF documents using PDF Studio 9’s new quick properties and alignment toolbars, and user-friendly color picker.
