This program seems awfully expensive to do most of what Acrobat does. What I would really like to see is the repairing of fonts - when I distill to acrobat 4, edit in 7, and resave, it screws up font embedding for older readers (win6, mac4), adding weird spacing, jumbling characters, etc. If this program could fix that (which it doesn't), it would be worth the price.

Acrobat replacement? - Dietrich von Seggern

Hi,

It is correct the pdfCorrect has features that Acrobat already offers. One advantage of pdfCorrect is to save them (one or several) in settings. In a next step these settings can be used in pdfCorrect CLI for automation purposes, independently from Acrobat.

Besides that pdfCorrect also allows to scale pages, adjust the MediaBox of a PDF or e.g. embeds fonts which Acrobat does not do.

As fonts are an important issue for us it would be very interesting to have a look at the files you mentioned. Could you send one or two of them to support@callassoftware.com.

Best Regards,
Steffen Fischer
