novaPDF Pro 5.3 Build 251

Using novaPDF you can easily create high quality PDF files in an affordable and reliable way from any Windows application. It installs as a virtual printer driver and its easy-to-use interface helps you generate the PDF files by simply selecting the "print" command from any application (you can convert your Word documents, Excel sheets, PowerPoint presentations, AutoCad drawings, emails or web pages).
Its purpose is to enable users to easily exchange electronic documents, independently of the application in which they were initially created. The resulted PDF files can be viewed on any computer with a PDF viewer (reader) installed.
novaPDF Pro is a software that allows you to produce PDF files from printable documents.
You can password protect the PDF files you create and permissions can be restricted to prevent the document from being viewed, printed, modified, copied or annotated. Your PDF documents will be protected and secured with 40-bit and 128-bit encryption algorithms.
novaPDF is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server and requires approximately 4MB of free disk space for the installation. It doesnt require Adobe Acrobat or GhostScript to be installed to generate the pdf file.
novaPDF can generate PDF files with embedded fonts. This means that your PDF files can be read and printed on any system without distributing your font separately, while maintaing the original intended design.
novaPDF has a lot of features that allows you to: modify the paper size (or create new custom page sizes for large format printing), modify the resolution (from 72 to 2400 dpi), change page orientation (portrait, landscape), fonts embedding (support for OpenType and TrueType), compress text and images (zip and Jpeg compression allow the generation of smaller output files) and lots more.
Using novaPDF, both individual users and businesses are able to create PDF documents and easily share them, making the process of collaboration more efficient.

novaPDF Server can be installed on one computer in a network environment (printer server) and used by any other computer in that network, without having to install it on each computer. Just share the printer on the printer server and use it to create PDF files from any other computer (can also be used on a Terminal Server or through Remote Desktop Connection).

Set document information for PDF files (title, subject, author, keywords).
- PDF Links Support
novaPDF can recognize links to files and formatted URLs (starting with "http://", "www", "mailto:" or "ftp://") that are included in the original document, and create them in the generated PDF file as links, so they can be opened by clicking them in the PDF viewer.

You can configure novaPDF to automatically email the PDF files created. novaPDF can send them using the default email client, or you can enter the SMTP details and the PDF files will be sent directly from novaPDF, without interfering with your email client.
- Multilanguage Support
You can choose a language for the interface of novaPDF during installation or change it later from its menu. novaPDF is currently available in more than 20 languages (see list). PDF Bookmarks
novaPDF can detect the headings in the document to be printed and add bookmarks in the generated PDF files. You have to define the text attributes for the document headings (font, size, style, color) and for the generated bookmarks.
- PDF Watermarks
You can stamp an entire PDF (or individual pages from it) with an image that can have transparency, rotation, opacity, color variation or other effects.

Define different private profiles, each with its own settings for page size, resolution, fonts, compression, document info and save settings.

These public profiles are created on the server computer and are automatically propagated to all client computers. You can configure some profiles to save the PDF files in a folder on server and all client computers will generate the PDF files in that folder.
- Does not Require 3rd Party Software
