Unique Advantages

Create PDF Files
ScanSoft PDF Create! 3 lets you convert a wide range of file types to Portable Document Format (PDF) files. When working in Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint you can call on the program to create a PDF file directly from your current document. When converting from Microsoft Word, hyperlinks and comments can be transferred and you can set bookmarks to be generated from the structure of the Word document. Files can be protected by passwords and can include watermarks. Compression and font settings give you control over PDF file size and appearance.

Edit PDF Files
ScanSoft PDF Converter Professional gives you extensive control over your PDF files: through an easy-to-use browsing and reading interface. You can edit pages and documents, annotate and review them, adjust document security, sign your documents and more. PDF documents can be compiled from different sources and pages can be rearranged. The program delivers a powerful document management system: use it to create archives from related documents to index and search them later.

Export PDF Files
ScanSoft PDF Converter 3 lets you unlock PDF files to edit them as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Corel® WordPerfect, and generic RTF files. It also lets you open PDF files directly from these applications, edit them and save them in the appropriate file type. The program offers three types of conversions, resulting in documents, forms or spreadsheets.

Windows Requirements

• Microsoft Windows 98 (from second edition), Windows Me, Windows 2000 (SP4), or Windows XP (SP1, SP2)

• Intel Pentium or comparable

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.1 or above

• Applications associated to the file types to be converted to or from PDF (for example Microsoft Word 97, 2000, XP or 2003 for .doc files, Corel WordPerfect 9 to 12 for wpd files, Microsoft Excel for xls files)

• 128 MB of memory (RAM), 256 MB recommended

• 140 MB of free Hard Disk space for application files plus 5 MB working space during installation

• 5 MB for Microsoft Installer (MSI) if not present. (This is present as part of the operating system in Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP)

• SVGA monitor with 256 colors, but preferably 16-bit color (called High Color in Windows 2000 and Medium Color in XP) and 800 x 600 pixel resolution

• Windows-compatible pointing device

• CD-ROM drive for installation

• Internet connection for activation, de-activation and automatic program updates.

• To create a PDF file, you must have a print-enabled application on your system that can handle the source file and that is associated with it.

• Conversions (unlocking PDF files) can be performed whether or not the target applications are installed on your system.  However, to use the results, you need the applications associated to the target file types you want to use (for example

• Microsoft Word 97, Microsoft Word 2000, Microsoft Word XP or Microsoft Word 2003 (SP1) for .doc files, the same versions of Microsoft Excel for .xls files and Corel WordPerfect 9 through 12 for .wpd files).

Note: Performance and speed will be enhanced if your computer’s processor, memory, and available disk space exceed minimum requirements. This is especially true when converting very large color PDF files.
