Key Features
Word & OpenOffice Document Conversion
Converts Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx, .dot, .dotx), Works (.wps), OpenOffice Writer (.odt, .ott, .fodt, .sxw), WordPerfect (v1–11), RTF, RTFD, Lotus Word, AbiWord, and PDF files into professional PDF documents.
Image & RAW Photo to PDF
Converts JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, PSD, and virtually all DSLR RAW camera formats (.cr2, .nef, .raw, .rw2, and more) into PDF — with colour space control, JPEG compression, and image downsampling options.
Text & Source Code to PDF
Convert plain text (.txt, .log, .xml), source code (.m, .c, .cpp, .java, .h), and script files (.py, .sh, .php) into styled PDFs — with custom font, size, and colour attributes applied per export.
Fillable PDF Form Creation
Turn simple forms created in Word or other applications into intelligent fillable PDFs — with submit format options including FDF, PDF, HTML, and XML.
Watermark Signing
Add custom watermarks to exported PDFs with control over orientation and colour — brand or protect documents during the conversion process.
PDF/A & Tagged PDF Export
Export as PDF/A-1a for long-term archival compliance, or as Tagged PDF for accessibility and screen reader support. Export bookmarks, comments, and auto-inserted blank pages.
PDF Initial View & UI Options
Define exactly how recipients see your PDF on open — navigation panel, page layout, magnification level, full screen mode, and which UI elements are visible or hidden.
AES-256 Encryption & Security
Set open and permission passwords with file restriction controls. Supports RC4-128, AES-128, and AES-256 encryption levels — applied across all exported PDFs simultaneously.
Merge & Batch Export
Combine any mix of documents, images, and text files into a single PDF with merged bookmarks — or export each as individual PDFs. Arrange and shuffle files to control page sequence.
Standalone & Fully Private
No Microsoft Office, internet connection, or third-party plugin required. All PDF creation runs natively on your Mac — your documents and files never leave your device.
