Ten Hidden Features of Power PDF You May Not Have Known

While PDF software has become just as necessary these days as e-mailing and a caffeine, it is generally thought that users only tap into just a fraction of what their software really offers, and certainly not the Power PDF hidden features.

Therefore, if you work with Tungsten Power PDF, you might miss out on some features that can enhance your efficiency by using the capabilities that you have at your disposal.

In this document, we will explore the numerous Power PDF tips and productivity hacks that may change the way in which you perform various tasks. Here are ten tricks for using Power PDF to maximize your potential as a Document Master!

1. Utilizing the "Watch Folder" to Automate Processes

Automation is one of the most overlooked Power PDF tips. The Power PDF Watch Folder might change how you spend your time and give you some serious freedom from manually converting to PDF.

Power PDF can be configured to watch a certain folder on your machine or network. When a file is dropped into this folder, Power PDF will convert it to PDF automatically without requiring you to launch Power PDF each time to set up a workflow.

2. True Redaction – Actual Removal Rather Than Covering

Many users make the same error of drawing a black rectangle over sensitive content and believing that the sensitive content is now secure. In fact, a tech-savvy individual can usually remove that box and access the content underneath.

With this Power PDF hidden feature, the content is permanently eliminated from the underlying document structure, so social security numbers, confidential legal clauses, and financial materials cannot ever be recovered after the file has been saved.

3. Form Typer Tool

Most of us have encountered the "flat" PDF form, which is an image with no ability to type in text boxes; this often forces you to print out the form, fill it out by hand, and then re-scan it back into your computer.

One of Power PDF's hidden features is the Form Typer tool. The Form Typer uses algorithms to determine the logical position of all the fillable fields in a static document, and creates fillable boxes where needed.

4. Multiple Application Windows

Power PDF significantly streamlines your workspace by eliminating the chaos of multiple open application windows. A big advancement is the inclusion of tabs, with each new open document available through its own tab in a single window.

This intuitive, browser-style navigation allows you to switch between files effortlessly, keeping your desktop organized and ensuring you never lose track of your work during multi-document projects, making it a great Power PDF productivity hack.

5. Document Assembly Mode

Document assembly mode allows you to assemble multiple documents together and to create one document from multiple sources. Users can drag and drop pages into their desired location.

Document Assembly Mode is helpful for users creating large documents with multiple pages or files from many different sources. Users no longer have to use up multiple windows and deal with formatting issues; they simply drag and drop the individual pages or sections into their final document.

6. Comparing Documents

Have you ever had two versions of a contract – one version that you sent only to the client, and then the other version returned to you from the client—and wondered what exactly changed?

Power PDF Compare is a powerful comparison tool that has been created specifically for users who want to compare two versions of the same file and get a clear understanding of the differences between them. By using the comparison feature, you will see every single difference in an easy-to-read format. The comparison report displays clearly all changes made to both files: Additions, Deletions, and Changes.

7. How to Customize Your Ribbon Interface

Your productivity is important to you, and that is why we created the Microsoft Office-style ribbon interface you see in Power PDF. This means that people will see the ease of usability for new users. However, what many don't realize is the ability to customize the Ribbon toolbar.

If you find that the "Stamp" feature is not being used frequently, but you are more likely to be using Watermark or Extract Pages functions regularly, you can customize your Ribbon toolbar so that those tools appear to be closer together on your screen than others.

You will save yourself seconds on every task if you can get those tools out from under the clutter of the ribbon with this top Power PDF productivity hack.

8. Importing PDF Data Directly into Excel

It is common to have many formatting issues and many merged cells when copying and pasting table information from your PDF to your Excel spreadsheet. In contrast, with Power PDF's intelligent data conversion system, you can pull only the relevant table information directly into an Excel spreadsheet.

In addition, you can use the area selection tool to highlight just the table that you want to convert to Excel, ensuring that the table is maintained with accurate columns and rows, and saving you seconds of time so you can quickly go from a static report to a data-analysis tool.

9. Advanced Processing

You shouldn't have to duplicate effort in the same way repeatedly. For example, if there are 50 different documents to receive the same watermark, to restrict the same phrase, and to put the same document into the same folder, doing all this manually will take a very long time.

However, by using the Power PDF productivity hacks, you can create a type of macro that combines a series of actions into one action or command, which you may apply to multiple files simultaneously.

10. Connecting with DMSs and Cloud Storage

Files often spread across multiple devices in a hybrid working atmosphere, which helps eliminate the possibility that files only exist on one hard drive.

Power PDF provides seamless connections to Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Microsoft SharePoint directly through the "File" menu. The strength of this connection is that your ability to open files in SharePoint, make changes, and sync changes are never compromised.
