Ashampoo PDF Pro 3 creates, edits, merges and converts PDFs. Creating and editing is as simple as working with a Word document, with custom comments, layouts and images. Ashampoo PDF Pro 3 supports multiple popular formats (Microsoft Word, RTF, HTML, EPUB, JPEG etc.) for easy document exchange, e.g. with Microsoft Excel. Document images and colors are fully replaceable and customizable and the built-in find and replace feature supports both text and fonts. Merging multiple documents is a simple drag & drop operation and the ability to create portfolios or photo albums greatly facilitate working with multiple files. The integrated text recognition (OCR) instantly converts scanned text into computer-editable text. Word processing is highly versatile with support for wrapping text around objects, powerful spell checking and auto-hyphenation. Inserting, moving, cropping, masking and deleting individual images is also possible. Sensitive information can be blacked out and documents protected with AES encryption. With the included printer driver, PDFs can be created from virtually any Windows application. Version 3 comes with a nifty ribbon-based interface with an eye-friendly dark mode as well as a customizable quick access bar and space-efficient fold-out elements. For long-term digital preservation, we’ve added PDF/A export, while digital signatures help users add an extra layer of security to their important documents. Furthermore, the status bar now features seamless zooming and work modes are switchable at the click of a button. In addition, comparing documents is now faster and more precise than ever before thanks to a new compare algorithm.
