Round Three for the PdfGrabber

Bremen, February, 13, 2006 – PdfGrabber from PixelPlanet converts PDF documents into common file formats. The Bremen-based company has now launched the latest version of this product line. The new version offers additional output formats and comes with a PDF printer.

It is difficult to imagine life today without PDF documents. They are in abundance on the Internet and data carriers. One of the disadvantages of this file format is that the contents of such documents cannot be edited without special tools. PixelPlanet came up with a solution to this problem a number of years ago: the PdfGrabber software. This product exports PDF files into the following formats – Word/RTF, Excel, Text (ASCII), DXF (AutoCAD), XML – as well as enabling images to be exported. The latest version, 3.0, now also allows content to be exported into PowerPoint format and the conversion of entire PDF pages into images. The Excel feature, too, has been improved and can now be used to export various PDF pages together into an Excel spreadsheet. By means of text recognition (OCR), together with Microsoft Office 2003, this new version facilitates the export of text from scanned documents.

In addition, PdfGrabber 3.0 also comes with a PDF printer with which exported documents can be converted back into PDF format. This makes it possible to export the required PDFs, carry out the necessary changes and then save the file again as a PDF. PDF documents can be created from any Windows application by clicking on “Print”.

PdfGrabber 3.0 is available in three versions: the Home version for entry-level users costs 39 euros incl. VAT and enables the export of Word and Text. The Standard version retails at 79 euros and additionally provides the option of exporting content into Excel format as well as the output of text, graphics and entire pages as images. The Professional edition, which includes features for exporting into DXF/AutoCAD, PowerPoint and XML files as well as the automation of export processes, is available for 119 euros incl. VAT.

Existing customers with the previous version of the PdfGrabber can purchase this latest version for the update price of 39 euros incl. VAT. What’s more, this update is available free of charge to customers who purchased the PdfGrabber 2.5 after January 1, 2006.
