Why do you need TurboPDF?

TurboPDF offers all the features you need (and more) at an affordable price. It's ISO 32000-1 / PDF 1.7 standards compliant and works with all your existing PDF documents and forms, so it's easy to switch and costs far less than the list price of upgrading to the next version of Adobe Acrobat.

PDF editing functions

After converting documents to PDF, it's easier to make changes and modifications in PDF instead of constantly converting back and forth between different file formats. TurboPDF's editing features offer functions similar to those of word processing software.

• Paragraph editing with automatic reflow and reformatting.
• Add, edit, delete and manage document hyperlinks and bookmarks, custom actions for bookmarks and hyperlinks such as opening a file, playing a sound, going to a web page, etc.
• Add, edit, delete and manage image and multimedia annotations.
• Add, edit, delete and manage headers and footers, backgrounds, watermarks.
• Moving, enlarging, rotating, cutting, copying and pasting graphic and image objects.
• Managing pages in a document (rearranging, new, inserting, extracting, cropping, rotating and deleting pages).
• Rearrange pages by dragging and dropping thumbnails in the thumbnail panel.
• PDF Optimizer.

Scanning and OCR

A popular workflow is to create PDF from a scanned document, either for an electronic archive or to modify the document if you only have the printed copy.

• Create scanned/image-based PDFs into editable files.
• OCR text recognition to create searchable and selectable documents.
• After OCR, edit the text from scanned documents - especially valuable if you only have the printed copy.                                                                                                                                                                 
• Find and correct incorrect OCR results.
• Insert scanned documents directly into an existing PDF document.

PDF annotation features

Use TurboPDF's powerful annotation and sharing tools to easily collaborate with others and provide feedback (through comments/annotations) on PDF documents to create superior PDF documents and forms.

• Add comments to documents, manage them, view them and navigate through them.
• Common annotation and markup tools (notes, text boxes, callouts, highlight, underline, strikethrough, squiggle, cross out, typewriter, stamp, etc.) and drawing tools (annotation tools including lines, rectangles, pencil, oval, polygon, cloudy, arrow).
• Measuring tool for distance, perimeter and area measurement.
• Attach a file as a comment.
• Organize and manage a stamp library.
• Import/export annotation data and summarize annotations.

Note to TurboCAD owners: You'll find that TurboPDF's collaboration and sharing features bridge the gap between people in the office using TurboCAD and people in the field working on TurboCAD design. Document authors can share a document with others who can add their own comments to the document and also view and respond to each other's comments.

PDF form functions
