Nuance Communications has announced PDF Converter for Mac version 6, allowing Apple users in Australia to easily convert, edit and securely collaborate with industry-standard PDF files.

Specifically, users can assemble PDF documents from a variety of sources, convert PDFs into editable formats for repurposing, create searchable files from scanned documents, and create and fill out PDF forms. Further, the streamlined user interface running on OS X Yosemite or El Capitan enables users to work more efficiently and effectively. 

“PDF Converter for Mac is the smart choice for users to create reliable, accurately retrievable PDF documents,” said Chris Strammiello, vice president, Global Alliances & Strategic Marketing at Nuance.

“With PDF Converter for Mac, PDF files are no longer difficult to change. Users can collaborate like never before, exchanging ideas and providing directions by adding notes, text boxes, graphics, and more to PDF documents.”

Included among the new features in PDF Converter for Mac are:

• View and correct OCR results – User can now can view and proofread the recognised text of a scanned or image-based PDF file and easily correct any word errors. The new auto-deskew feature helps achieve optimal OCR results when performing text recognition on scanned documents. 
• Improved user interface – The user experience has been improved with a modernised user interface that adopts the new styles introduced in OS X Yosemite. The toolbar now includes the Share button to easily send a document or share it across devices. Users can edit documents faster with the new context-sensitive control-click or right-click menus. 
• Enhanced annotation tools – Users can communicate their ideas better with a richer set of annotation tools that includes new cloud annotation and freeform highlighting tools. The drawing tools preserve custom settings, such as colour and line style, so mark-ups will look the same every time they are used. Through the enhanced annotation panel, users can easily review all comments on a document in greater detail than ever before.
• Create customised stamps that better fit daily tasks – Users can make their own personal stamps featuring the text of their choice and add user, date and time information when stamping. In addition, the software comes with a set of new predefined stamps such as Copied, Paid and Scanned. 
• Faster application performance – The software delivers faster file opening and saving, and improved scanning performance.
• Create interactive PDF forms with signature fields – Users can easily design PDF forms using text fields, radio buttons, lists, submit button, and a new interactive signature field tool. In addition, users can sign such forms with their handwritten signature using a mouse or Trackpad.
