PDF2ID 2.0 en route
Recosoft says it will be launching two new PDF converters, PDF2ID 2.0 Standard and PDF2ID 2.0 Professional, in January. The upgrades carry over 200 new features, with InDesign CS4 support headlining. The software is used to convert PDFs to the InDesign format; v2.0 adds text frames linking for easier selections and editing, and a new typeface library for font substitutions. Conversion presets for InDesign property generation (e.g. drop caps, drop shadows, etc.) have also been introduced.
The Professional version differs by adding TIFF CMYK support, and PDF color space controls, including ones for RGB, CMYK, Lab and PDF spaces. It also includes parallel-processing support for speed gains on multi-core computers.
PDF2ID 2.0 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, 512MB of RAM, and Adobe InDesign CS2, CS3 or CS4. Parallel processing is limited to Intel processors. The Standard version will cost $300, while the Professional version will be $400. A preview version of PDF2ID 2.0 is now available at the company's web site.
