Need clean, consistent PDFs from any document you can print? novaPDF does it from inside the program you’re already using. It installs as a Windows printer, so a printable file can be sent to PDF from the application where it is open.
Print documents from their original applications
Print from the document’s own program and pick novaPDF in the printer list. The resulting PDF follows the document’s printable layout, making the same workflow applicable to word-processing files, spreadsheets, presentations, web pages, and other printable material.
A Getting Started interface is also available for initiating PDF creation. The printer-driver approach avoids having to open each source format in a separate conversion tool.
Use Office add-ins for direct conversion
Add-ins for the main Microsoft Office apps add a one-click PDF button. The add-ins can also preserve hidden hyperlinks and convert document bookmarks,.
Set PDF output and access controls
Choose output settings such as resolution, compression, and page size to suit the document. novaPDF can create searchable PDFs and PDF/A-compliant files for document preservation.
Security options let the creator require a password to open a PDF and set permissions for printing, modifying, copying content, or adding annotations. The program also supports digital signatures to certify a document’s authenticity.
These controls are configured during PDF creation; novaPDF’s core workflow is printing a document to PDF, not editing the contents of an existing PDF.
