For new customers, the recommended retail price of the program is 99,99 Euros. For upgrades from previous versions, prices start at 49,99 Euros. This means that users of previous versions save up to 50 percent.

Dr. Juri Stern, Managing Director at Soft Xpansion: "With Perfect PDF & Print 8, we offer two programs in one package. On the one hand, we have included the new version of Perfect PDF, which is a complete solution for PDF creation, editing and display. On the other hand, the recent version of Perfect Print enables users to consistently use the same layout creation functionality for various electronic document types, regardless of the original application that was used to create the source document.”

Among the most important new features of Perfect PDF are the comparison of pairs of PDF files, the image editor that helps to change and optimize images from within the PDF file, PDF profiles to automatically create PDF/A 1a and 1b files, the Microsoft SharePoint interface, additional features to edit texts and the seamless integration into the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office.
