Product Description:

Whether you are a printing and graphic communication industry professional, need to prepare a PDF document to your print-shop's specifications or dabble with PDF documents at home, chances are PDFClerk will help you get the job done more easily and efficiently. PDFClerk enables a multitude of transformations on your original PDF documents as well as creating PDF documents from scratch. Features include: adding blank pages; rotating, deleting and reordering pages; bookmarks; marking up documents; powerful document merging and splitting options; flexible user definable imposition options (including step & repeat) for preparation of any kind of book, flyer, magazine or other publication (there are even factory provided imposition layouts for right-to-left reading languages); editing and creation of hyperlinks; (re)definition of PDF display boxes; proofing and finishing marks; creating PDF forms; scripting; many more features.

What's new in this version:

New: Outlines are now scriptable.
New: PDF actions are now scriptable.
New: Option to apply a filter when exporting to PDF or bitmaps. (So you can now produce PDF-X or reduce file size, etc.) .
New: Application preference to open the most recent document on startup. This option overrides the "open untitled document" option when activated and is on by default.
New: Imposition templates can now be duplicated in the impositions editor.
New: Text on a page can now be directly accessed in scripts (e.g: "first paragraph of page 1").
Changed: Removed the file type selector from the save panel. The proper way to choose what kind of file to write to disk is by either saving (type:PDFClerk) or exporting (type:PDF).
Changed: When ending editing of a text box by clicking outside the box, the text box will now remain selected (unless the click is on another object: then that object will be selected instead). This makes it more convenient to nudge text boxes after entering text.
Changed: Progress info sheets during save and export now provide improved feedback.
Fixed: Corrected an oversight that could cause a PDFClerk Pro file to fail to open under certain circumstances.
Fixed: Corrected an error when saving a PDFClerk document with rotated pages to disk, that could cause those pages to have missing parts upon the document being read back in.
Fixed: Resolved off-by-one scripting issue in the page ranges argument of the Export command. If your scripts work around the issue up to now, you'll need to remove the work-around. (The range indexes are now one based, instead of 0 based).
Fixed: Resolved a crash that could occur when saving large documents to disk in demo mode.
Fixed: Resolved an issue with QuickLook when saving imposed documents to disk.
Fixed: Several corrections to the inspector panel when inspecting outline actions. (E.g. it now updates when an outline is selected while the caps lock key is down.).
Fixed: Corrected issue with annotation inspector when a button widget has no caption.
Fixed: Progress indicator when saving to bitmaps now works again.
Fixed: Some watermark issues related to changing and syncing to source.
Fixed: A glitch when placing an annotation on the page by dragging, where the feedback rectangle would not match the drag.
Fixed: Corrected an issue where copying a static annotation and pasting it to another page made the pasted annotation uneditable.
Fixed: When copying pages between documents using thumbnail views, the page list would not reflect the changes.

Excellent alternative to PDF Pen & Acrobat Pro - Version: 3.2, 7/28/2008 04:07AM PST

Burbank

This is not going to be a comprehensive review. But I feel the need to comment on this application. I have been using PDFClerk Pro (and the non-pro version) for a couple years. It's a great way to assemble a PDF file from lots of different files. I upgraded to the pro version a while back partly to show my support for the company but also because I wanted the ability to add my own annotations (text boxes, highlights, shapes, etc) to existing PDF documents. I also looked at a product called PDF Pen, but comments about support problems scared me away.

PDFClerk Pro has done everything I have asked of it. It just works! I believe I have only begun to scratch the surface of this program's potential. There are many features I haven't yet explored. For the user who wants to assemble PDF's from files of varying types and the user who wants to annotate existing PDF's this is a great program (and less expensive than the $449 Acrobat Pro!).

THE BEST PART: The thing I like best about PDFClerk and PDFClerk Pro is the exceptional customer support. There are so many bad customer support experiences every day in this world. SintraWorks' António Nunes provides extraordinary support. Use the SintraWorks suport forums. You will receive a quick answer to your question. The answer will be complete, well thought out, and easy to understand.]

Nice job!!

IN SUMMARY: The program is stable and works well. The support is excellent.
