PDF Enhancer Upgrades to Version 3.5

Apago Inc., a software technology company that provides innovative solutions to transform digital documents, today announces an upgrade to PDF Enhancer 3.5, a powerful production tool for the creation, automation, and optimization of PDF documents. Newly rearchitectured, PDF Enhancer 3.5 is a faster and more robust application for individual or batch processing of PDF files. Used by publishers of all sizes to produce a wide range of PDF files, from brochures to electronic editions of magazines and newspapers, this invaluable production tool creates the highest-quality, smallest size, and most reliable PDF documents possible for specific output purposes. In addition to greater power for PDF-based workflows, the upgrade improves font handling and color management, supporting more device link profiles and color patterns. PDF Enhancer 3.5 is free for 3.x users and is slated to be available this summer for download from Apago’s online store.
“Our technical manuals can be as large as 250 MB. I rely on PDF Enhancer to clean and remove unnecessary metadata from as many as 6,000 files,” states a production manager for a major defense company. “With PDF Enhancer, files open faster, and we can quickly scroll through large documents. For example, PDF Enhancer reduces a 150 MB file that takes 4 minutes to open and 90 seconds to scroll through to a manageable 110 MB file that takes just 8 seconds to open and .25 seconds to scroll through. This is a huge time-savings for us. PDF Enhancer meets our high-volume and workflow-intensive needs.”
PDF Enhancer streamlines the creation of PDF documents by automating the most common PDF document assembly and preparation tasks, which previously required several applications and a great deal of manual labor. The latest update now supports a wider range of device link profiles, which enable finer control over color conversions such as CMYK-to-CMYK transformations, giving customers more flexibility in their workflows. Other notable features of this powerful production tool include an industry-standard, ICC-based color conversion engine; full-featured imposition; page box; and stamping managers.
Pricing for PDF Enhancer 3.5 Standard Edition is $199, Professional Edition is $399, Server Edition is $999, and Advanced Server Edition is $1,999. PDF Enhancer 3.5 is available as a free upgrade to customers who previously purchased PDF Enhancer 3.x. Upgrade pricing for earlier versions and free evaluation software are available at www.apago.com/pdfenhancer. To order PDF Enhancer 3.5, contact Apago at 770-619-1884 or visit www.apagostore.com.
