Datalogics releases PDF2IMG v2, now with support for XPS files

Chicago, IL, June 7, 2010 — Chicago-based Datalogics today announced the release of PDF2IMG v2, with added support for XPS input. PDF2IMG converts PDF files to a variety of image formats (including TIFF, JPEG, EPS, GIF, and PNG), with capabilities to precisely control color conversion, overprint emulation, blackpoint compensation, font antialiasing, output resolution up to 2400dpi, compression quality (for JPEG output), and other aspects of the conversion process. PDF2IMG is powered by the Adobe PDF Library API, utilizes the same rendering and color management engines as Acrobat, and is ideal for software developers seeking compatibility and consistency with Adobe Creative Suite products like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat. This latest release of PDF2IMG now accepts Microsoft XPS files as input, and converts them using the same underlying technology as found in Acrobat's XPS-to-PDF feature.

PDF2IMG is packaged as a command-line executable wrapped around an API, so it can be tightly integrated into desktop or server applications, or dropped in quickly and simply into a script-based workflow. It is provided as a simpler, single-purpose alternative to the full Adobe PDF Library API (a more robust, full-featured PDF toolkit, also available through Datalogics), and is suitable for server-based RIP and prepress workflows; rastering PDF pages for thumbnail previews on the web; and converting PDFs for TIFF-based archiving environments.

PDF2IMG is available for Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, and Linux platforms; and is available worldwide from Datalogics (www.datalogics.com), and through Datalogics partner EAST Co. (www.est.co.jp) in Japan. Attendees of Microsoft's TechEd Conference in New Orleans June 7-10 can also visit our booth #1440.
