Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 7 Delivers Time-Saving Innovations that Make It the Smarter PDF Software for the Office
Office Productivity Advances include Visual Document Assembly, Web PDF Toolbar, Looks-Like Search™, One-Click Scanning and the Most Accurate PDF-to-Office Conversion
BURLINGTON, Mass., August 2, 2010 – Nuance
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), a leading provider of speech and
imaging solutions, today announced the new release of its award-winning
desktop PDF software, Nuance
PDF Converter Enterprise 7. The new release of Nuance’s flagship
PDF product delivers the rich features users want in desktop PDF, with
some features that surpass all others in delivering time-saving value
in the office – all at about one third the cost of Adobe® Acrobat®.
PDF Converter Enterprise 7 promises to extend Nuance’s leadership
as the number one alternative to Adobe Acrobat, delivering a robust set
of innovations and enhancements that result in a smarter PDF solution
for the office. Important innovations in the release include visual
document assembly, which makes it easier than ever to combine paper,
PDF and Microsoft Office documents into a single PDF, and a Web PDF toolbar
that puts the full power of the product directly into leading Web browsers. Office
workers wanting paperless features gain robust PDF scanning capabilities,
including one-click scanning with scan-and-markup capabilities. Enterprise-wide
collaboration and workflow is enabled through robust connectivity to
Microsoft SharePoint and enterprise content management systems.
“We selected Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise over alternatives because
it was significantly less expensive,” said Mark Karten, Realtor,
The Karten Group at Realty Executives of Nevada. “But even better
than the lower cost of licensing, Nuance’s focus on PDF productivity
features saved us hours of effort when working with paper, PDF and Microsoft
Office documents. If you need PDF in the office, we recommend Nuance.”
In 2003 Nuance and Microsoft Corp. collaborated on PDF Converter, the
first-ever product to turn PDF into editable and fully formatted Microsoft
Office documents. The new release benefits from this continued
collaboration, delivering unique first-ever features such as support
for Microsoft Silverlight rich media within PDF files, Windows 7 jump-lists
for frequent PDF tasks, direct access to Microsoft SharePoint, and the
Web PDF toolbar for Internet Explorer.
“Nuance’s focus on all open document formats, including PDF
and Open XML, results in a PDF desktop application that delivers significant
office productivity benefits to both individuals and organizations,” said
Kim Akers, general manager for global partners at Microsoft. “We
are especially excited to see PDF solutions that leverage the power of
Microsoft Office, SharePoint and Silverlight in order to streamline the
way organizations work with paper and digital documents.”
The Smarter PDF for Office
PDF Converter Enterprise 7 delivers innovations and enhancements focused
on saving time and effort when creating, sharing and storing documents
in the office. Key new capabilities include:
Smarter PDF Document Assembly – The new visual
document assembly feature makes it “drag and drop” easy to
combine existing Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents with
PDF documents – adding the entire document or specific pages.
Smarter PDF for the Web – The new Web PDF toolbar
lets users customize the way they interact with PDF files directly within
Microsoft Internet Explorer, FireFox and Google Chrome Web browsers. Users
can convert a PDF to Word or Excel, annotate the document and then re-save
a PDF. They can even turn a static PDF form on the Web into a fill-able
PDF electronic form using the FormTyper feature – without leaving
their browser.
Smarter PDF-to-Office Conversion – Already the
accuracy leader, the new release improves accuracy by a further 20 percent,
converting PDF into fully-formatted Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint,
and Corel WordPerfect documents.PDF-to-Excel conversion has been
enhanced to enable multiple PDF files to be combined into a single Excel
spreadsheet.
Smarter PDF Scanning – Nuance has added its famous
one-click scanning to the product, insulating users from often arcane
scanner settings. Better still are the scan-and-highlight and scan-and-redact
features, which combine scanning with the automatic search and highlight/redact
feature.
Smarter PDF Search – Searching within one or more
PDF files just became more useful and powerful. The release includes
Looks-Like Search, which finds items that have distinct patterns, such
as text that looks like a phone number or email address. Also new
is search-and-markup, which uses keywords to automatically highlight
matches throughout the PDF document.
Smarter PDF for Paperless Workflows – Users can
now directly open, edit and save PDF documents with leading content management
systems, including Microsoft SharePoint; Autonomy iManage WorkSite; OpenText
DocsOpen, Connectivity Solutions (eDocs/Hummingbird) and LiveLink. The
product also includes support for the eCopy Inbox, providing direct connectivity
to Nuance eCopy
ShareScan, the best selling network scanning and document workflow
solution for multifunction printers (MFP).
