We are pleased to announce the release of Win2PDF version 11.0, a free update that introduces several enhancements to expand the capabilities and features of Win2PDF. This update is designed to completely support Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system, and to optimize your PDF workflows and provide greater efficiency.
Key features and improvements in this release include:
Enhanced Microsoft Outlook Integration: Microsoft is transitioning users from its older Windows Mail and Calendar apps to a new version of Outlook for Windows 11. The new Outlook is a move towards a more unified, modern, and feature-rich email client integrated with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, but it does have some differences compared to both the old Mail app and the classic Outlook, including some that affect how Win2PDF attaches PDF files to email. Win2PDF now supports both the existing Outlook (classic), and provides the same seamless functionality to users moving to Outlook (new).
Automated Blank Page Removal: If you’ve ever received or generated a PDF that contains extra blank pages, you can now remove them using the new Delete Blank Pages feature. It automatically identifies and removes empty pages from your PDFs, contributing to cleaner and more professional documents. This feature also has an associated DELETEBLANKPAGES command line option.
Expanded Automation Customization Capabilities: Support for Batch Convert and Watch Folder and Convert plug-ins has been extended. You can customize batch convert processing by installing a Win2PDF Batch Convert Plug-in which can be very useful in many situations. For example, suppose you wanted to batch convert a folder of documents and then perform a secondary process on those newly created files – a batch convert Plug-In would allow you to do that. Current Plug-ins include the ability split pages, delete pages, append a PDF, apply watermarks, delete blank pages, digitally sign with a certificate, and more. When a batch convert plug-in is installed, an “Enable Plug-In” option is displayed in the Batch Convert Window.
Watch up to 20 folders with Watch Folder and Convert feature: The “CONFIGWATCHSERVICE” command line option now allows a single service to monitor up to 20 folders, enabling more robust automation for complex workflows. [Note: Win2PDF Pro Terminal Server Edition only feature]
Refined Text and RTF Conversions: This update includes fixes to improve the conversion of text files containing smart quotes to PDF, ensuring accuracy. Additionally, formatting issues encountered during RTF to PDF conversion have been addressed, resulting in improved document fidelity.
Improved Command Line Printing: For users utilizing the “PRINTPDF” command line, paper size selection has been refined, offering enhanced control over printing options.
As a free upgrade for existing customers using Win2PDF 7 or higher, we encourage you to explore these new features and see how they can further enhance your productivity. And while this new Win2PDF 11.0 release fully supports Windows 11.0, it also continues to support Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. Win2PDF Terminal Server Edition 11.0 continues to fully support Windows Server 2025, Server 2022, Server 2019, Server 2016, Server 2012, Server 2012 R2, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, Server 2003, and Server 2003 R2 (including 64 bit editions).
