Product Description:

PDFClerk is your personal assistant for PDF Documents. It allows you, among other things, to join multiple PDF documents together, rearrange the page order, delete individual pages, impose multiple pages onto a sheet of paper and rotate pages on imposed sheets, making it easy to create your own books, booklets and magazines. You can print out your manuals, reports, essays, articles, etc., in a convenient and economic way. You can create books for languages that read from right to left like Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew. Extended page and imposition control, and the ability to overlay graphics and text objects and print crop, bleed and registration marks as well as color/grayscale bars and print pages in mirror image. Explode documents into smaller single or multiple page documents. Split documents into even and odd pages. Define or resize existing PDF display boxes (crop, bleed, trim, art). Create and modify hyperlinks, markup pages with drawing primitives. Interleave documents.

What's new in this version:

This is a bug-fix update to version 2.6. It contains the following change:

  • Fixed: PDF sources that specify a rotation are handled correctly again. (This bug was introduced in PDFClerk 2.5.)

This is a feature upgrade to PDFClerk. The following are the changes over version 2.5:

  • New: Added option to export PDFClerk document pages as graphics files.
  • New: Added Automatic/Manual option to trim and bleed marks, greatly enhancing the scope of their usability.
  • New: Streamlined updating powered by Sparkle.
  • New: Added Application Preference to choose between using File Name or PDF Title property as the source name in the page list.
  • New: Added toolbar button for exporting as a single PDF document.
  • New: Added command-= as alternate to command-+ for zooming in.
  • Changed: Revamped About Box.
  • Changed: Updated Help File.
  • Changed: Changed slot size terminology First Page Size (Dynamic) to First Page Size (Scaling)ÂÂ? to better represent what it does.
  • Changed: It is now possible to type positive fractional values that are smaller than 1 into text boxes omitting the leading 0 (e.g. .25).
  • Changed: New appearance of the demo mode watermark.
  • Fixed: Now prints correctly when displaying the document in non-continuous mode.
  • Fixed: Now remembers imposition mode when opening a PDFClerk file that was saved with the last imposition in the list of impositions.
  • Fixed: The sheet size popup button in the Document Settings dialog would not correctly reflect the AutomaticÃÂÂ? setting.
  • Fixed: Sheet size was not remembered in between sessions of the same document.
  • Fixed: Text boxes that have been resized manually no longer forget that fact when saving and opening a PDFClerk file.
  • Fixed: A bug introduced in 2.5 that swapped the manual top/bottom display box margins when set in imposition templates. (This fixes templates, which had these boxes explicitly in v2.4 or earlier, not those last used with v2.5, in which case they have to be manually adjusted.)
  • Fixed: A bug introduced in PDFClerk 2.5 that could cause text and graphics objects on pages to be misplaced when re-opening a previously saved file.
  • Fixed: Bleed and trim marks are now drawn correctly on rotated pages.
  • Fixed: A bug, introduced in v2.5, that could occasionally result in a crash when closing a document window.
  • Fixed: It is no longer possible to move an object backwards behind the base layer of the page.
  • Fixed: The height and width for a fixed slot size in an imposition template can no longer be set to 0.

I create architectural floor plans. My clients like me to send them copies of the 24" X 36" plans in pdf form. CAD programs will not combine sheets into one file. Unlike word processing or other types of files that are one scrolling file, CAD pages print one at a time. It was difficult for my clients to understand why I would have to send them 7 pdfs instead of one.

PDF Clerk solves the problem by quickly and easily combining all of the pages into one pdf. Problem solved - no more complaints from clients.

This application seems magical to us older (81) and less than technically expert users. I started with version 1 and have followed the (sometimes painful) evolving to version 2.5. I have used it the set up and print small books and pamphlets (about 50 pages or less) about events that are of interest to the residents in my retirement apartment building. I print these on an inposition of 2 per page, facing and 4 per sheet. Support in learning has been outstanding and from a quick look, the new "Help" will make learning much, much easier.
