PDFpenPro 7 Adds Professional Features
PDFpenPro 7 Adds Professional Features

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 14, 2015 -- Smile has released PDFpenPro 7, the latest version of its all-purpose PDF editing tool for OS X. This major upgrade features the ability to proofread and edit the OCR text layer and export to Microsoft® Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF Archive (PDF/A) formats, all with an interface updated for OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).

PDFpenPro and PDFpen 7 support document sharing via iCloud Drive.

"We're excited to embrace Yosemite and to further enhance usability, performance, and functionality with PDFpen 7," said Philip Goward, Smile founder.

The numerous tools, such as the text box and comment tools, remember their color preferences, and context-sensitive popup-menus allow for quick edits. Freeform highlighting enables smooth highlighting over diagrams, drawings, and unrecognized text.

Users can sign PDF forms containing interactive signature fields, though this is not cryptographic “digital” signing. PDFpenPro allows users to create PDF forms which include interactive signature fields.

PDFpen shares all but the most advanced features with PDFpenPro. It can view, but not edit, the OCR text layer; export to Microsoft® Word, but not Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF Archive (PDF/A) formats; and gives the ability to sign using interactive signature fields, but not to create those fields.

"We're excited to embrace Yosemite and to further enhance usability, performance, and functionality with PDFpen 7," said Philip Goward, Smile founder. "We're also thrilled to bring new professional features to PDFpenPro 7, including editing of the OCR text layer, Excel export, and interactive signature fields for PDF forms."

The PDF-to-Excel, PDF-to-PowerPoint, and PDF-to-PDF/A export functions use the Nuance OmniPage Cloud Service for document conversion. PDFs are securely uploaded to the service and returned as Excel documents in either .xlsx or .xls format, PowerPoint documents in .pptx or .ppt format, and PDF Archive documents in PDF/A format. PDF Archive format is an Internationally-accepted format for archival storage and long term use of PDFs.

PDFpenPro and PDFpen 7 work with PDFpen for iPad & iPhone version 2, allowing seamless editing across devices when used with Dropbox storage or iCloud Drive. iCloud storage is available when PDFpen is purchased via the Mac App Store.
