PDF2Office Professional 4 to ship in Feb '08
Recosoft today unveiled PDF2Office Professional 4 for Mac OS X, a major upgrade to the PDF-to-Office format conversion tool that brings more than 300 new features and enhancements as well as compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. PDF2Office Professional converts PDF documents to the Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, RTF, and other file formats by recreating the intended construction and layout of each document. The software is slated for shipment in February of 2008, and is priced at $130. Upgrades are available for PDF2Office Professional 1.x-3.x users ($60) as well as users with educational licenses ($90). PDF2Office Professional requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later.
The application forms paragraphs; applies styles; regroups independent graphic elements; extracts images; creates tables; and
processes headers/footers as well as endnotes/footnotes and columns/sections automatically without any manual intervention.
"PDF2Office enables you to recover the data stored in PDF documents - making them available for use by anyone. Since PDF2Office is a standalone product, it is not necessary to acquire and install additional PDF editing software and tools resulting in huge cost savings in both time and expense."
The latest release of PDF2Office for Mac runs natively on Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary, and is based on a client-serve architecture with the server performing the conversions and insulating the application as well as Microsoft Word from the conversion process to deliver optimal performance on modern multi-core Macs.
Users can convert PDF documents to Web pages with a new feature, and the PDF to HTML conversion engine is redesigned to provide precise control over the conversion result. The software also converts PDF documents that are static forms to the Microsoft Word/RTF format for easy form entry.
PDF2Office Professional 4 also includes the latest PDF Reconstruction 4.1 engine, providing improved performance and conversion results. The reconstruction process is enhanced to augment paragraph formation, table recognition, columns construction, and graphics processing.
