I’ve recently been having a discussion among several system administrator friends, all of whom sometimes have to use non-Adobe tools for PDF creation and editing. I’ve tried all of the ones on download.com, literally, and some on different or multiple platforms. Each has its’ pros and cons, but most of them have left me wanting more.
I finally found exactly what I, as a tech writing professional, have always been looking for. Even on first try, it was like what I would’ve designed, if I had designed it myself. The product is called Infix Pro.
One of its’ serious advantages is practically automatic page numbering when combining multiple original files into a book/binder (in adobe speak), and cloning headers/footers across the same originals, to give the look of a book to a diverse collection of files.
Infix imported my diverse files cleanly, sized them to fit the page properly (even Adobe binder didn\’t do as well!)…and the intelligent repagination tools were simply PERFECT! Text and object editing really worked, as opposed to the promises of other purported PDF editors on the free/shareware market.
My colleagues and I have been banging our collective heads against the wall, looking for a solution like this. Infix indeed!
