professionally looking PDF presentations, and easy creation of PDF versions=

localized information or multiple languages, even when you don't have the
creator document or application. As callas software is the developer of the
preflight feature in Acrobat 9, pdfToolbox 4 is of course 100% compatible w=
ith
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and 3D as well as Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional=
and
Extended.
