PDFpen 6.2 Exports Plain and Rich Text, Creates PDFs from Dragged Thumbnails, and More
San Francisco, CA – April 15, 2014 – Smile has released PDFpen 6.2, an update to its all-purpose PDF editing tool for OS X. The update adds support for exporting plain text, exporting rich text, creating PDFs from dragged thumbnails, and includes additional improvements and fixes.
The changes in PDFpen 6.2 have also been made in PDFpenPro 6.2, the Pro version that can also convert websites into PDFs, automatically create fillable PDF forms, and construct document table of contents.
PDFpen 6.2 works with PDFpen for iPad and PDFpen for iPhone, allowing seamless editing across devices when used with iCloud or Dropbox storage. Users who wish to use iCloud must purchase PDFpen 6 from the Mac App Store. (Apple restricts iCloud access to applications purchased via the Mac App Store.)
PDFpen retails for $59.95, PDFpenPro for $99.95. Family Pack licenses, which cover up to five computers in one household, are $74.95 for PDFpen and $119.95 for PDFpenPro. Office Pack licenses start at $179.95 for PDFpen (5 users) and $279.95 for PDFpenPro (5 users).
Upgrades from earlier single user versions of either application are $30.00, and free to users who purchased on or after October 15, 2012. Upgrades from previous versions of PDFpen to PDFpenPro 6.2 are $40. Upgrade pricing for Family Packs and Office Packs is found on our web store: http://smle.us/store
