Introducing Corel® PDF Fusion

™

It’s really no surprise why PDF has become the de facto standard for exchanging
documents with business, government, legal, and everyday users. PDF is simply
one of the easiest ways around to share information. Thanks to the ubiquity of
PDF and the availability of lightweight readers for almost any of today’s devices,
when you choose this industry-standard format, you can ensure that text,
graphics, and images appear as you expect and can be easily shared with just
about anyone, anywhere.

But with all the wonders of PDF, users are still only able to take full advantage of
its power if they have a tool that makes it easy to create PDFs from a wide
variety of files. That’s where Corel

®

PDF Fusion™ comes in. Corel PDF Fusion lets
you view and work with over 100 formats without the expense and hassle of
buying and installing the software used to create the file. In addition to
supporting the file formats you use every day, Corel PDF Fusion is ideal for
opening and sharing file types that you may not typically work with.

Once you’ve opened a file in Corel PDF Fusion, you’ll see that the product takes a
unique, visual approach to building documents. You can use a simple drag-and­drop to add new content and then quickly flip through the pages. It’s easy to
make quick edits, thanks to a context-sensitive interface that displays the tools
relevant to the job at hand. Corel PDF Fusion also lets you save PDFs from any
application on your system that has print capabilities and batch convert multiple
files to PDF (or XPS). To keep things secure, PDF files from Corel PDF Fusion can
also support high security and data encryption levels, giving you control over
who can open and modify your documents.

Corel PDF Fusion is an affordable and powerful tool that offers a simple and
intuitive workflow for viewing, editing, assembling, and creating PDFs. It's fast
and easy to bring together content from a range of sources — text and data
from several different proprietary formats, images, and even graphics — to
create PDF packages that really get your message across.
