Workflow Assistant – Convert to PDF
This is a special workflow available only in OmniPage Professional and accessible through the Job Wizard. It is a practical example of the ‘document-to-document’ conversion facility. It takes editable files as input (for example, NotePad, WordPad, txt, csv, Word, Excel, PowerPoint 2003, 2007 and 2010) and creates Normal PDF files as output, using Nuance PDF Create.
