About novaPDF
novaPDF is a PDF creator for Windows that functions as a virtual printer. It allows users to convert any printable document into a standard PDF file, with features for security, watermarking, digital signatures, and merging documents.
novaPDF, from developer Softland, is a PDF creation tool for Windows that installs as a virtual printer driver. This allows users to generate industry-standard PDF files from any application that supports printing. The software is aimed at both individual and business users who need to convert documents like reports, contracts, and spreadsheets into a portable format. Key capabilities include 256-bit AES encryption, digital signatures, watermarking, document merging, and automatic bookmark creation. It also offers add-ins for Microsoft Office applications. novaPDF is sold as a one-time purchase with three editions (Lite, Standard, Pro) at different price points. It supports deployment on Windows desktops and servers, including Terminal Services environments. A 30-day free trial is available to test all features before purchase.
