CoolNew PDF

If your daily routine revolves around PDF files, you must be here looking for an application to help with your tasks. CoolNew PDF might be the tool you're looking for, considering it sports a lot of features, handy for managing documents. Editing, converting, splitting, combining, annotating, and protecting your files is a taste of what the app can do, but it's not limited to that.

CoolNew PDF comes with a flashy interface, yet it is intuitive and easy to navigate through. Using the ribbon, one can sift through the categories of available functions. Each ribbon entry comes with its own toolbar holding features specific to its description. For example, Comment deals with text — highlighting, underlining, and deploying sticky notes are things you can do from there.

Regarding the two sides implies having two UIs in this case, and that's obvious right after the installation is over and two shortcuts are created on the screen. While this might be confusing for some, it appears it was implemented to keep things neat, avoiding cluttering the first interface. In short, the default UI is but a simple launching pad for the converter, which deals with the practical side of things.

A PDF utility that has an answer for most issues that may rise, must be a keeper. CoolNew PDF can export most Office documents to and from PDF. The same rule applies to images as well. Merging, splitting, and extracting pages and pictures are the most basic features a PDF manager can have, but they are critical to own.

One can apply watermarks and encrypt files with ease, for when protection is necessary, and an OCR tool can help with extracting text from images, saving a lot of typing time.

To summarize, CoolNew PDF is not the first nor the last application to be developed for PDF management. An over-saturated market will always push clones forward, but that's not the case with this app. Despite it doing what most similar apps can do, CoolNew PDF manages to look fresh, and deliver a somewhat unique yet familiar experience.
