3.3 What is a document format or PDL?
Corel PDF Fusion supports several document formats sometimes called PDLs (Page
Description Languages). PDLs are the different ways that applications internally describe
the content of documents. Corel PDF Fusion can use the following document formats:
PDF
(Portable Document Format.) A file format created by Adobe Systems
for document exchange. Several versions of PDF are used including v1.3,
v1.4, v1.5, v1.6, and v1.7. PDF files have a file extension of
PDF files can be selected for input to and output from Corel PDF Fusion.
NOTE:Corel PDF Fusion opens documents that are PDF compatible, but not named with a *.pdf
extension. When documents of this type are subsequently saved a .pdf extension is added to the
file name.
PDF/A-1b
A file format designed for the long-term archiving of documents. PDF/A1b is a subset of PDF, omitting those PDF features which are not suited
to archiving.
.pdf.
PS
Microsoft Office
XPS v1.0
PNG
(PostScript language.) A dynamically typed programming language.
PostScript language files are often created in the background when you
“Print to file”. These files have a
.ps file extension. PostScript language files
can be input to Corel PDF Fusion.
Note that
.prn PostScript language files are treated in much the same
way as PostScript language files.
These are the formats you create when using Microsoft Office Word,
PowerPoint and Excel applications and have
and
.xlsx. file extensions. Microsoft Office files are read by Corel PDF
.doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls
Fusion. Microsoft Word files can be output from Corel PDF Fusion by
using the Save as or Export option.
A fixed-layout document format designed to preserve document fidelity,
based on XML. XPS documents have a
.xps file extension. XPS
documents can be selected for input to and output from Corel PDF
Fusion.
Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a bitmapped image format using
lossless data compression. PNG files usually have the extension
.png. PNG files can only be created from Corel PDF Fusion using the
.PNG or

3.4.2 Customizable workarea
The Corel PDF Fusion work area can be customized to suit your own personal
preferences. Once you have chosen how you like your work area to be configured—
window size and position, visibility of toolbars, and visibility of the Navigation pane—it
remains until you decide to change it or choose to reset the application back to its
factory settings.
3.4.3 Printing
With Corel PDF Fusion you can print the current document, the current page, or a range
of pages.
For PDF documents, permission to print is always subject to the document’s security
settings.
3.4.4 Multiple Undo/Redo
Multiple Undo and Redo options are provided so you can easily retrace your steps and
return to an earlier iteration of your document. Note that when you save your
document all the undo/redo levels are reset and as such become unavailable.
3.4.5 Text selection
You can select text items (from a single character to all of the document). Text selection

If the text you type goes over the edge of the page it is clipped. Adding new lines and
correction of more than a single line is not possible.
Correction of non-horizontal text is not suppor ted.
If you attempt to correct a character that does not exist in the current font, a font
substitution mechanism is used to try and find the best match.

3.4.8 Redact text
Corel PDF Fusion allows the redaction (obliteration) of text found during a search
operation. You can specify whether you want the text redacting on the first occurrence
only or all the text within a document. This action can, when required, be performed on
all open documents.
The redaction function can redact arbitrar y areas of the page. This allows, for example,
all or parts of images to be blacked out.
A “redact all” function is available that is used to redact all instances of a name (for
example). Any redactions applied in this manner cannot be undone.
Once a redaction action has been performed on a page, any object that intersects with
the redacted area is “flattened” into an image with the original objects removed. This
means that any such objects are replaced by images. Therefore, they cannot
subsequently be selected or manipulated. For example , if such an object is text, it will no
longer be available for selection for highlighting or correction.
When an area is selected for redaction any text which is intersected by that area is also
redacted.
NOTE:The search does not find any words which are part of an image such as a photograph or scanned
image.
3.4.9 Page manipulations
The following page manipulations can be performed on documents:
•Insert pages.
Any page can be dragged-and-dropped from any source document to any point within
any target document.
•Extract pages.
You can create a new document from a selection of one or more pages in an existing
document.
•Delete pages.
You can delete pages from any open document.
•Rotate pages.
You can rotate pages by 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise or anti-clockwise.
•Create blank pages.
You can add an empty page to the current document or create a new document
containing an empty page.
•Moving and reordering pages.
Pages can be moved and re-ordered through thumbnails. Pages reordered in the
Navigation pane's thumbnail view are immediately reordered in the Assembly View.

You can view or modify file security.
3.4.14 Page properties and markup manipulation
•Page cropping.
You have the ability to change various pieces of page level information. For example, the
page size.
•Font substitution.
Some documents (with the exception of XPS documents) refer to external fonts, which
might not always be available on the system where Corel PDF Fusion is running. Corel
PDF Fusion can recover from this situation by applying a font substitution from the fonts
stored on the computer.
When font substitutions are performed, they are only applied to render the open
document to the screen. Font substitutions are not written to the file when the
document is saved.
NOTE:The XPS document format requires that all fonts are embedded. In this case Corel PDF Fusion
embeds in the XPS an emulated font that corresponds to the missing font.
3.4.15 Document security
•Open and save encrypted PDF files.

Corel PDF Fusion contains a standard security handler and supports the following
encryption standards:
Every PDF document operation is subject to a security restriction and could fail due to
the security settings.
3.4.17 Saving options
The following Save options are available:
•Save and Save As.
Save
Overwrites the original input document with the new version in the
same format.
Save As
Lets you save the document under a new name. In addition to this you
can save the document with a new format.
NOTE:Use the cancel icon in the Status bar to abort the save process.
NOTE:If you are using Corel PDF Fusion in viewer mode (after the 30 day trial period), and take an action
that changes the current document, a message appears informing you that you can continue to
view this document but saving, printing or attaching it to an e-mail adds a watermark. Purchase
the full version to remove this restriction.
Save prompts
If you attempt to close a modified document, that has not been saved,
you are presented with a prompt to save the changes before the
document is closed. Select Ye s to save or No. Use Cancel to abor t the
close.
If you attempt to close the Corel PDF Fusion application, a “save”
prompt is presented for every open document that has unsaved
changes. Use the Apply to all files check box to apply your Ye s, No or
Cancel choice to all documents. If this is not selected, a save prompt is
presented for each individual modified document.
NOTE:A new document using pages from an existing document must be saved before you can re-save
the existing document to its current name. You can, however, use the Save as option.

3.4.18 Feature transfer and document compatibility
Corel PDF Fusion supports the conversion of documents between various formats.
While all document formats naturally support a broad spectrum of common features, it
is inevitable that some features that are specific to one format are not available in
another. Annotations, for example, are supported in PDF, but not currently in the XPS
document format. Furthermore, some formats—most importantly PDF—exist in
multiple versions, where new versions have introduced features that are not available in
older versions.
Corel PDF Fusion allows conversion between document formats (and differing versions
of formats). It also allows for the transfer of pages between documents in its workspace,
without requiring those documents to be in the same version of a format, or even in the
same format at all.
The end result is that Corel PDF Fusion needs to deal with various cases where a
document (or page) contains features that cannot be accommodated by the target
document. The following provides some information on how Corel PDF Fusion handles
specific conversions:
PDF to PDF of the same version
All features of the input document are preserved in the output
document.
PDF to PDF of a newer version
All features of the input document are preserved in the output
document.
The destination document dictates the version number of the combined
result. For instance, when a page is dragged from a PDF 1.5 document
into a PDF 1.6 document, the latter stays as a PDF 1.6, rather than being
downgraded to 1.5.
PDF to PDF of an older version
All features of the input document are preserved in the output
document.
When moving pages to a PDF document of an older version, Corel PDF
Fusion performs a check on the page content to determine whether any
features are used that are unavailable in the older version. If such features
are found, a warning is displayed indicating that these features are lost.
PDF to XPS
All features that are common to XPS and PDF are preserved.
Features that are specific to PDF (such as annotations) are dropped.
All non-normal blend modes and complex shading are rendered when
converting from PDF to XPS.
WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF COREL PDF FUSION? INDEXCONTENTS 24

OREL
PDF F
USION USER GUIDE
GETTING TO KNOW COREL PDF FUSION INDEXCONTENTS 25
The XPS document format requires that all fonts are embedded, and
they must be in OpenType format. For fonts not embedded in the PDF,
additional font directories can be specified and fonts can optionally be
accessed from those installed on the Windows system. Otherwise, a
substitute is embedded in the XPS.
XPS to PDF
All features common to XPS and PDF are preserved.
Features that are specific to XPS and cannot be converted are dropped.
HDR images are rendered down to sRGB.
All fonts used by XPS documents are embedded in the package. On
conversion they remain embedded in the PDF.
XPS to XPS
All features of the input document are preserved in the output
document.
All resources used by an XPS page are transferred to the destination
document.
•Security.
Any security applied to a PDF document is honored.
3.4.19 Finish document wizard
The Finish Document Wizard prepares the document for publishing or printing.

Fit to Page
Select one of the options in the drop-down menu.
No Scaling means that the spreadsheet is displayed in its original size
onto as many pages as are required to fit the data.
Fit to page automatically scales the document to fit either the page, the

to enter a percentage by which you want to scale the document.
Scale to Pages Specified activates the Scale to X wide by X tall options.
These options scale the spreadsheet to fit the number of pages specified
in the wide and tall fields. Because the aspect ratio of the spreadsheet is
maintained, the lesser of the two dimensions (width or height)
determines the scale factor.
Note that if either value is set to 0, the value in the other option is
ignored.

The default settings after installation are designed to give the maximum lossless
compression for general use.
6.18.1 Compression

Zip compression is usually the best overall compromise setting for images as it is efficient
and lossless. If you can tolerate lossy compression, that is, compression that throws some
of the data away never to be retrieved, use JPEG compression.

within an organization have the same setups and, therefore, create output documents of
the same type.
NOTE:An XML file is a text file which can be opened and hand edited. However, doing this may cause
your version of Corel PDF Fusion to produce unexpected results or fail.
When a setup file is exported, all setups, default and custom, are saved to the XML file.
When an XML file is subsequently imported you are presented with the option to accept
or reject each individual setup.

Comments tab is selected. If your document does not have any comments or
annotations see “Add comments/notes” on page 74 and “Add text annotations” on
