1 - We are pleased to announce the release of PentaSuite-PRO Version 8.1 with major changes to our PDF Creator

PentaSuite-PRO Version 8.1 has a number of minor changes and corrections (listed on the What's New Page). The real changes can be found in PentaPDF-PRO version 3.0.

This new version of PentaWare's PDF Creator is able to create PDF documents up to 50% faster than it's predecessor version 2.0. In our time tests, PentaPDF-PRO version 2.0 took 45 seconds to create a PDF file out of a 96 page Microsoft Word document but it only took 22 seconds for version 3.0.

This allows for:

  1. Greatly enhanced speed in generating PDF files. PDF creation now takes 50% of the time required by the previous version while maintaining excellent respondence to the originating document.
  2. We have added PDF 1.5 and 128 bit encryption to guarantee compatibility with Acrobat Version 6.0.
  3. We have added Selectable PDF version (from 1.0 to 1.5).
    This is important for PDF string encryption requirements (40 bit or 128 bit) as well as for destination applications that may require PDF files created using different versions. Unicode character set is supported only from PDF version 1.3 or greater.
  4. Better handling of Paper sizes. Some Custom sizes are now supported based on the file to be converted.
  5. Much improved PDF creation from PowerPoint presentations.
  6. Conversion between different versions of PDF (from 1.4 to 1.2 for example) is now available with PentaCLI-PRO (our command line add-on for PentaSuite-PRO and PentaSuite Business-PRO).
  7. PowerPoint output is now always enabled. There were some issues in previous versions of PentaPDF with some older versions of Microsoft Office which did not allow PDF creation from some PowerPoint files.
  8. Starting and ending page number in the range of document pages to convert can be zero. This can happen, for example, when a Word document has a cover page with page 1 being the second page
  9. Addition of Color Mode under Preferences allowing for PDF output in:
    1. RGB
    2. CMYK
    3. Grayscale
  10. Enhanced management of Image resolution when creating PDF files the addition of Selectable DPI settings for images (from 72 DPI to 2048 DPI).

All the new PDF features are available with PentaSuite Server Editions.

Users with previous versions of PentaSuite can upgrade to the latest version here.
