In PDFelement 7.0, it’s displayed like this:

It’s a two page cheat sheet for the classic war game OGRE, and it’s a rather staggering 17.1MB in size (it’s only two pages!) because it’s actually just an image scan.

Add the built-in OCR (optical character recognition) library and it’s a fairly big program, but oh, what it can do! Let me show you what I mean… Available for both Windows and Mac, I opted for the Mac version since that’s usually where I’m working with PDF documents. That’s why I was enthused when Wondershare asked me to review PDFelement 7.0, the latest version of their PDF editing powerhouse app. But my students don’t need 300dpi images when viewing the file on screen. I still produce a lot of PDF handouts for presentations, for example, that end up being enormous because the program I’m using is creating a printer-ready document. It was chaos until PDF became a widely adopted standard for cross-platform compatibility.īut making something compatible doesn’t just magically solve all the problems associated with document sharing, dissemination and usage. Worse, Mac users complained that Windows Word docs were completely messed up and vice versa. People sent editable documents in Microsoft Word and some people took that as an invitation to make unauthorized changes while others complained they didn’t have Word and couldn’t open it up. It’s hard to remember how computing worked prior to Adobe’s introduction of Portable Document Format (PDF).
