[Mon, 17 May 2010 16:30:00] This version includes some major improvements for our PDF to Excel converter.
 For starters, it now supports conversion into OpenOffice! PDF2XL can now convert directly to .ODS files so that you can load them in OpenOffice Calc, or your other favourite office suite.
Also, PDF2XL can now keep the indentation of text in columns, as well as text-wrapping inside table cells, so you have the option to keep the original text flow in addition to the original formatting.
Here is the snippet of change-log from our developers:
- Added PDF conversion to OpenDocument Spreadsheet
- Added an option to combine cells automatically
- Added an option to keep text indentation and/or wrapping
- Added fields output editing (reordering, hiding fields, dragging fields into tables)
- Added support for non standard operating system fonts
- Fully updated and tested for Windows 7
- Fully tested for Office 2010

- Revamped the layout display and editing
- Simplified the layout creation process
- Images are now considered a conversion format rather then a special field option. This means that you can convert table columns as images, which is useful (for example) in catalog table conversion
- Fixed support for PDF files that could not be opened before
- New (and better!) OCR Engine, with much better support for color and higher DPI scanned PDF files
Finally, you can now add a post-conversion Excel Macro to the conversion layout. PDF2XL OCR will run it after the conversion; it's very useful for extra manipulation after the main conversion work is done
