A common trap for conversions is a font mismatch. Due to licensing issues, fonts can not be embedded in documents. They can be mapped or substituted. Take care in this area to ensure perfect results.
A sample .ini file is provided with the command-line tool. It can be used as a base to understand the many options and to tailor them to your needs.
Test PDF conversion quality using PDF FLY, our desktop program or via shell commands. Both are included in the download. We recommend that you send a test file so we can ensure optimal settings.
Once installed, activate the command-line interface by adding the installation path of PDF FLY to your %path% variable. Edit the Options file (*.ini) by choosing from more than 60 custom conversion settings.
Test the integration and contact us if you have any issues. To convert PDF files, run pdf2xxx (Options file is pdf2xxx.ini). To convert PS or EPS files, run ps2xxx (Options file is ps2xxx.ini).

There are plenty of 'wanna be's" out there who say they can convert PDF into editable formats, but, just download their evals and you'll see. They can't. When we convert PDF, we convert everything that can be converted - objects, text, attributes and layers. We give you access to all the geometry and logic in the file as well as the fonts. Mostly, they'll just give you a bitmap image and call it a day. That's just not good enough. As devices proliferate, you want to be using searchable vector formats that scale and look great on any size device from watches to a jumbotrons.
The PDF Conversion Server is ideal for digital archival, compliance and regulatory applications, workflow automation, web and print publishing, on-demand services as well as text extraction for generating statements and checks. Try it today.
