Osaka, Japan, September 28, 2006 - Recosoft Corporation the developer of cross platform Macintosh and Windows file format conversion solutions and PDF document conversion tools has started shipping PDF2Office Personal v3.0 for Mac OS X.

PDF2Office Personal v3.0 for Mac OS X is a major upgrade to PDF2Office Personal v2.0 for Mac OS X - the only PDF to Word conversion plug-in for the Macintosh platform.

PDF2Office Personal v3.0 utilizes a client-server computing model delivering optimal PDF to Word conversion performance for the Intel and PowerPC based Macintosh computers. In addition PDF2Office Personal v3.0 is a Universal Binary and includes over 250+ new features and enhancements including the capability of converting static PDF forms into editable Word documents and converting PDF files into high-resolution images embeddable in Word files.

PDF2Office recreates the original construction and layout of the document - forming paragraphs; applying styles; regrouping independent graphic elements; extracting images; creating tables; and processing headers/footers, endnotes/footnotes and columns/sections, all automatically - without any manual intervention

PDF2Office enables you to recover the data stored in PDF documents - making them available for use by anyone. Since PDF2Office is a plug-in for Microsoft Word, it is not necessary to acquire and install additional PDF editing software and tools resulting in huge cost savings in both time and expense.

Key New Features

• Universal Binary
  PDF2Office Personal v3.0 is a Universal Binary. Even though Word X/2004 runs emulated on Intel based Macintosh computers, PDF to Word format conversions execute at native speeds.


• PDF2Office Desktop Server
  PDF2Office Personal is now based on a client-server architecture. PDF2Office Desktop Server performs the PDF to Word conversion returning the result back to Microsoft Word; insulating Microsoft Word from the conversion process.


• Static Form editing capability
  PDF2Office Personal optimally converts static forms into formatted Word documents for easy form entry.


• Embed a PDF page as a High-Resolution Image into a Word document
  Directly convert and embed any page or a series of pages in a PDF document as high-resolution image(s) in a Word file.


• PostScript Font Matching, Substitution and Auto-Sizing
  A new PostScript font matching, substitution and scaling mechanism has been introduced. The fonts in the PDF document are matched against fonts present in the system and if a match cannot be found, the font can be substituted with a default font and its size scaled to closely match the layout characteristics of the original PDF document.


• PDF layout reconstruction v3.1 engine
  Dramatic enhancements have been made in the areas of table identification and reconstruction; graphics processing; PDF files with complex layouts. Furthermore new options for hyphenation processing, mathematical formula recognition, image type and resolution have also been introduced.
