PDF2Office from Recosoft

Recosoft Corporation the developer of cross platform Macintosh and Windows file format conversion solutions and PDF document conversion tools announces PDF2Office Professional v3.0 for Mac OS X.

The company will be shipping PDF2Office Professional v3.0 for the Macintosh platform in February 2006. PDF2Office Professional v3.0 is a major upgrade to PDF2Office v2.1 Professional - the PDF to Office formats conversion tool.

In addition to the more than 200+ new features and enhancements made, PDF2Office Professional v3.0 now provides the capability to convert PDF files to the Microsoft PowerPoint 98-2004 Macintosh and PowerPoint 97-2003 Windows formats. PDF2Office Professional v3.0 also introduces a new Document Inspector which provides detailed information about a PDF file.

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 standalone product, it is not necessary to acquire and install additional PDF editing software and tools resulting in huge cost savings in both time and expense.
