Place files in an Envelope
This is similar to packaging files, but in this case the files become
attachments to the enclosing PDF and keep their original file types.
An envelope file acts as a cover page.
Archive E-mail
PDF Professional lets you archive selected e-mails and e-mail
folders. You can choose to create a single PDF from each message,
merge all selected archive items into one PDF (each message
will be bookmarked inside it), or package the selected items. Message
attachments keep their original file types.
Batch processing
This lets you build a series of commands and their settings into a named
and stored sequence, letting you efficiently apply pre-defined processing
to groups of PDF files repeatedly, by just running a sequence. Input and
output file names and locations can be predefined or enquired run-time
and output can be to non-PDF file types. It is also possible to run a batch
processing sequence on all PDF files currently open in PDF Professional.
In that case the output is always PDF and it replaces the input files
inside the program.
Other new features
PDF layers are supported; this is useful in working with architectural
plans and in preparing PDF files for delivery to printing houses.
Document flattening allows annotations to be removed or converted to
document objects. Integration of the program in internet browsers is
expanded to Google Chrome. Export of data from multiple filled copies
of a form to a spreadsheet is introduced. Custom stamps can be created
on-the-fly for insertion into a selected page area. A single stamp can now
be applied to all pages of a document. Not only text, but also areas can be
highlighted. Auto-straightening and auto-orientation are available when
scanning to PDF. You can send a PDF file to a fax machine via e-mail,
according to data entered under Preferences.
