PDF Conversion Features

Create PDFs that conform to ISO 32000-1 (PDF 1.7) and ISO 32000-2 (PDF 2.0) specifications.

Limitations for Conversion Accuracy

OSDC generates pages by reading Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint document files and imitating page-up (formatting). Therefore, compatibility with pages created in Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint varies considerably depending on the content of the document.

The page layout of the converted PDF file may differ significantly from that of Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint, so we recommend testing the evaluation version to make sure it meets your requirements.
