PDF Creation for PentaSuite now Includes Corel WordPerfect files

The file types that PentaPDF-PRO supports has been extended to include Corel WordPerfect WPD files. You can open a file and select the PentaPDf menu item right from inside WordPerfect.

PentaPDF converts Word, Excel, PowerPoint and all supported image file formats (TIFF, JPG, BMP, etc...) to PDF documents and can even do it in batch mode! 

Starting with version 7.1, PentaSuite and PentaZip both offer PDF Creation.

• PentaPDF is offered as a quick and inexpensive means of creating quality PDF files. It is an integral part of PentaZip.
• PentaPDF-PRO is offered as a means to create superior PDF files starting from file types supported by PentaSuite (even very large and complicated Microsoft Word DTP - Desktop Publishing - documents are supported). It is an integral part of PentaSuite.

Neither PentaPDF nor PentaPDF-PRO require any additional software to create PDF files.

Just install PentaZip or PentaSuite and you are ready to go!

The differences between PentaPDF and PentaPDF-PRO are outlined in the following table.

Do you have movies you need to extract single pictures from?

If you do then PentaFrameGrabber is what you need.

How does it work?

1) run PentaFrameGrabber

2) open the AVI, Mpg or QuickTime movie you need to extract single pictures from.

3) either run the movie from start to finish or go forward or backward by frame

4) insert the frame number you want a single image of. You can select one frame at a time (either the current frame or some other frame) or a batch of frames (from frame 10 to frame 33 for example)

5) select the format for the pictures you need (JPG, GIF, TIFF or any other from the 60 formats we support). Jpg will be selected for you to start out with.

6) press the "Export Frame" button and in a few seconds you will have a PentaAlbum HTML page with thumbnail shots of the frames you selected.

It's as easy as that.

You can also select output naming rules (such as scan_001.jpg to scan_21.jpg), choose any output folder and decide which pictures you want to include in the PhotoAlbum.

Users of PentaFrameGrabber include :

1. members of the Medical Profession that will also be able to use PentaSuite's strong encryption facilities to protect patients' sensitive data
2. family members that want to share important moments with their loved ones
3. entertainment and advertising professionals that need to prepare a Storyboard starting from a movie
