Win 8 compatibility begins? New features in v5?

Post by rdata »

I have spent quite a bit of time browsing the website looking for some basic info., namely:

(1) When does Windows 8 compatibility begin? Do we need to upgrade to v5 to assure all will work correctly in Windows 8 ?

(2) I can find no information on your website regarding the new features in version 5?? I should think this is essential info for sales / marketing!

thanks

Hi rdata

we are currently going through the certification for Windows 8 and should have that completed soon. Still, all the current versions should be fine to use in Windows 8.

You can see here the results of searching the Windows Compatibility Center for PDF-XChange and Windows 8. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ ... quested=14

The PDF-XChange V5 printer, (AKA 2012), both Standard and Lite have been 'Certified' for Win 8 (listed as Compatible with the Win 8 logo), and V4 products are listed as 'Compatible'
(2) I can find no information on your website regarding the new features in version 5?? I should think this is essential info for sales / marketing!
New features are labeled with a red NEW in the Prodcut pages
'Feature List' like here: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-xchange-pro

I hope that helps
