BulkPDF

Probably among the most widely employed documents are PDFs. They offer a high degree of protection and ensure data is secure from any potential corruption. While these documents can be generated in several methods, one way is to transfer data from various source files. BulkPDF aims to do just that, by providing users with a solution to migrating data selectively from source spreadsheet files.

Migrating information is performed in a highly intuitive manner, as a wizard guides newcomers through all the necessary steps to transfer data to PDFs. This sequential layout ensures the application is very accessible and one does not end up with corrupted files.

Source spreadsheets can be in any of the standard formats, i.e. XLS, XLSX, or ODC and once a target source document has been designated, the application automatically parses the file and displays the available rows, columns, and tables. These entries will provide the data for all information migration processes.

The next step involves selecting the destination PDF target. It should be noted that a certain internal layout is required for the tool to correlate fields. If such a setup is available, then the utility automatically displays the available fields and transferring data simply requires that users correlate source XLS columns data with destination PDF fields.

One noteworthy feature is the ability to selectively discard information from the processing queue. For example, one can choose to migrate only several columns of data from source spreadsheets. This eliminates the need for an external tool to edit source documents. Once satisfied with their correlations, users are free to name their new files, as each linkage generates a new PDF; for this purpose, a batch rename function is available for use.

In conclusion, BulkPDF is a simple tool for migrating data from XLS to PDF documents. It is potentially very useful, but the requirement for a specific internal PDF structure does tend to blemish its otherwise good scorecard.
