Version 4.8

sales@cogniview.com (Karen Baker) — Sun, 24 Aug 2010 12:00:00

This new release from Cogniview upgrades various internal components of PDF2XL:

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

Finally, you can now add a post-conversion Excel Macro to the conversion layout. PDF2XL will run it after the conversion; it's very useful for extra manipulation after the main conversion work is done

Version 4.6

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
