NovaPDF Functional Improvements

NovaPDF is a powerful Portable Document Format (PDF) creator for Microsoft Windows designed by Softland. It can generate PDF documents from almost any application which supports the Win32 API. The name "NovaPDF" was based on a trademark used by Adobe Systems Incorporated. Although Adobe has developed this technology to provide a portable, cross-platform application, the name "NovaPDF" is given by Softland as a trade mark.
This application can be used along with the Adobe Acrobat Reader that comes free with Windows as an "app-ware" or as a "service-oriented" program. The advantage of using Adobe Acrobat Reader is the fact that it can read, edit and search pdf files created with this application while running in the background without the user having to be directly involved. It has been observed that most people use this technique so as to not have to carry out the actions related to creating, reading or printing pdf files manually. Another advantage of using NovaPDF with the Windows programs is that they can be run simultaneously without any compatibility issues and also with "alt" keys being pressed simultaneously.
While the program works on all operating systems like Windows 7, Vista, XP etc., its greatest strength lies with the fact that it can work on a 64 bit operating system. This is because both Windows and Linux systems allow for the loading of large files onto the Windows system without any issue whereas with the Linux systems the behavior is different whereby some pdf files do not open at all while others show a "page not found" error message. It is believed that this weakness is caused due to the file extensions being changed by the Softland interface to make it more compatible with different file extensions. Another reason cited for the performance difference between the two systems lies with the way in which the registry is handled on Windows and also the fact that there are some registry settings which only exist on the Windows platform. In other words, NovaPDF on Windows cannot function with some of the software like Comodo PDF viewer, Sun StarOffice suite and Adobe Acrobat Reader.
