There doesn’t in fact exist another kind of tool that has such a wide variety of products for converting images to PDF. However, the 3-Heights™ Image to PDF component makes the difference between such kind of tools. The point is in the details. For example, each and all image formats should be supported faultlessly ( among others are JPEGs embedded in TIFF),color space should be relocated by embedding profiles,metadata should be converted to the XMP format and embedded equally, image data needs to be confirmed and improved as well as than recompressed and the list carries on.

 Among all the features, PDF/A-1 and PDF/A-2 congruent creation of output files, the quick web view and the setting of page borders are practically taken for granted.
 Nevertheless, the conversion of JPM files with MCR contents (mixed raster content) to PDF/A-2 compliant files with OCR text-recognition is not ordinary at the same time.

Almost all companies create most of their documents in Microsoft Word – it is the most convenient text editor and easy-to-use tool for creating documents. Using MS Word one can change fonts, styles, layout options and many others.

Though the MS Office 2007 allows applying security options to a document such as adding a digital signature, a password to open and modify or encryption options Word documents still remain less protected than those in PDF. Thereby documents created in Word can be converted to PDF in order to secure documents to the best advantage.

PDF stands for Portable Document Format and it is a standard format for electronic documents. Today you can find PDF files almost everywhere: in management, publishing, education and other spheres. PDF is used for sending letters, reports, messages and exchanging business documents such as billing accounts, invoices, contracts, etc.

PDF is a device- and software- independent print-ready format. It means that it is always shown in the same way on more than 20 operating systems and is identical to the original document as opposed to Word that is not. Thus converting Word documents to PDF allows reflecting them to all interested bodies the same way and without any quality losses.

PDF documents suit well for long-term storage and are more secured than Word documents. One can protect a PDF document with a password, plot a watermark on the document, prohibit modifying and printing, and add electronic digital signature. PDF provides authors and owners of information with such security options as ‘Can Print’, ‘Can Modify’, ‘Can extract’, etc. that makes document highly protected from copying.

Converting Word to PDF allows exchanging documents quicker as PDF makes documents several times smaller than their originals. Thereby it can be said that Word to PDF conversion is not only advisable but as well reasonable if you are going to manage your business effectively.

PDF is PDF (Portable Document Format) is a standard format for electronic documents. PDF is very popular in the Internet – that’s because to view PDF documents you only need to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.

If your business is somehow connected with document workflow and you’re publishing any kind of documents you need a good PDF converter. If you google for ‘PDF converter’ you can see many results found. Among them you can find PDF printers, free online PDF converters or those that cost some money. The problem with free PDF converters is that they don’t convert your documents exactly as it should be. And some important information could be lost and not get a customer. So it is very important to choose a PDF converter that will suit perfectly your needs (embedded links and images, for example).

Let’s take for example the Open Office Writer tool that I was using before I found my best PDF converter (I’ll describe it later). The Open Office Writer is a desktop publisher that provides PDF export feature. It has different formatting options that allow customizing the application. All in all the PDF converting results were good when I used this converter. But the minus is that Open Office software keeps too much memory space. If it is not the problem for you then the Open Office is a very good decision.

As I’ve already mention I found another best solution. It is not free now (it was earlier but after the new release it became payable) but it suits my requirements in PDF conversion and doesn’t keep much disk space. I’m talking about Altsoft Xml2PDF converter and especially about its Workstation desktop application. It suits perfectly a small business. Xml2PDF workstation supports embedded links, images, allows using watermarks and background images. It supports PDF security options such as digital signature and password protection. It has a user-friendly interface and converts documents to PDF just on one button click. And I think the ˆ39 price is not that big.

Someone may not agree with me and find another solution for converting documents to PDF that will suit his needs better than Xml2PDF does. This is just my choice and my best PDF converter is Altsoft Xml2PDF!
