softXpansion has released version 6 of PDF Render Center, an application for PDF-based document management systems in networks.

PDF Render Center 6 works as a PDF server. It converts documents into standard file formats (PDF and image files). Afterwards, the application distributes the resulting files automatically.

Conversion and distribution are administered centrally by the PDF Server. PDF Render Center 6 includes both the license to create PDF files on multiple client computers (multi-user license) and special technical features to efficiently use it in multi-user environments.

It can be integrated into existing document management systems and is able to process large amounts of documents or data. At the same time, it reduces the costs for systematic processing, copying and archiving.

The converted documents and data will be available in back end systems, for administration in databases as well as in document management and content management systems. Any content, previously unstructured or not, can be systematically organized, archived, protected and sent with PDF Render Center 6.

New features in Version 6:

• Outlook integration
• Conversion of Outlook message files (MSG)
• Archive files (ZIP and EML): the program extracts files from archives and converts them
• Original files and converted files may be placed together in one output folder
• Differing layouts of the original source files may be standardised into a common layout by using pre-defined template layouts (for example by using common headers and footers, watermarks, page orientation)
