Real PDF Editor PLUS Guide for Upgraded Users

UI 3.0 and Old UI

Besides the look, the main difference between UI 3.0 and the Old UI is that UI 3.0 uses a new PDF Viewer and Annotation module, which is much more stable compared to the one in the Old UI.

By default, Real PDF Editor PLUS switches to use the new UI 3.0. However, if you prefer to using the old style UI, you can always switch it back to the Old UI.

Click the button or menu item “Setting” and then you can do your selection in the UI Settings window.

Note: we highly recommend you use the default UI 3.0 because we may get rid of the old UI in the future.

Supported Formats

Besides PDF, Real PDF Editor PLUS can also open many other formats. It works well as a e-book reader and a image viewer.

The formats are: PS (.epfs, .epfi and .ps), Tiff (.tif and .tiff), CHM, DjVu (.djv and .djvu), Images (.bmp, .dib, .icb, .ico, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .jpg2, .mng, .png, .pbm, .pcx, .pgm, .ppm, .rgb, .tga, .tpic, .vda, .vst, .xbm, .xcf, .xpm .gif, .webp and etc.), DVI, XPS (including .oxps), ODT, Fiction Book (.fb2), Comic Book (.cb7, .cbt, .cbr and .cbz), Plucker, EPub (.epub), Fax (.g3 and .fax), Mobipocket (.mobi), Okular, Prc, Wwf

New PDF Viewer

The viewer component in Real PDF Editor PLUS UI 3.0 is a PDF viewer with a complete feature set including thumbnail view, turning pages, zoom in/out, one page view & window width view and rotate.

You can open the viewer by clicking the button “Open”, “Annotate” or “Fill Form”.

Fill a PDF Form

If the PDF file is a fillable form, with the new PDF Viewer, you can simply open the file and fill the content. It’s just that straight forward. Don’t forget to save it after filling in all content.

Note: not all PDF files are fillable. If the PDF file is not fillable, you can still use the annotation tool “Typewriter” to fill a form.

PDF Annotation Tools

The new full set of annotation tools in Real PDF Editor PLUS is easy to use.

Typewriter, inline note and popup note – click to pick the tool you would like to use, and then, in the PDF file, click the position where you want to add text and start typing.

Stamps – click the stamp dropdown list and choose one stamp,  then in the PDF file, click the place you would like to add it. Note: the stamps added using this software are not visible in PDF viewers than Real PDF and Okular.

Convert Other Document to PDF

Real PDF Editor PLUS provides a new tool to help you convert other documents to PDF. You can access it by clicking the button “Convert to PDF” or “Create PDF” in the main UI.

The supported source formats include Word (doc and docx), images (jpg, png, bmp, gif and more), Excel (xls and xlsx), Powerpoint (pptx), URL and Html files.
