Quick PDF Library and freebie mini-app Quick PDF Tools, we’re now tweaking our focus to take advantage of our strong PDF background (and what we see as the core of the paperless trail today).

Yes, we’re powering up Benubird to really focus on PDF (mostly by way of using our sophisticated Quick PDF Library).

Therefore, we’ve made some small changes to Benubird such as in-built PDF Preview, moveable repository/library and PDF metadata to file metadata syncing.  And whilst we work behind-the-scenes on bolting on an even greater range of PDF features and options, we’re making the current version freeware.

We’d like to see you drop by the forum and chat with the other users. So please, feel free to download and install Benubird PDF on as many computers as you like … 

BTW — don’t worry, if you’re a paid-for-customer of the original Benubird Pro, we appreciate your support and we’re going to be offering you a free-upgrade to the commercial Benubird PDF Pro upon release.

This new version of Benubird Pro introduces a number of new features, bug fixes and usability improvements. The full list of new features is included here:

    • Convert any file that can be printed to PDF from within Benubird Pro by right-clicking on it and selecting ‘Convert to PDF’.
    • Convert any file that can be printed to PDF and add it to Benubird Pro automatically in Windows Explorer by right-clicking on it and selecting ‘Add to Benubird Pro as PDF’.
    • Use the ‘Add to Benubird Pro as PDF’ printer driver to create PDFs from any windows application that supports printing.
    • Add, edit or remove properties from PDF files effortlessly. Edit the Title, Author, Subject and Keywords property fields of PDFs.
    • All files added to Benubird Pro are now automatically added to a file repository. This protects files from being accidentally moved or deleted.
    • Files that are opened from Benubird Pro are moved from the file repository to the workspace. This ensures that when you edit a file you have a chance to wind back the changes by choosing not to re-commit the file to the file repository.
    • When exporting fields from Benubird Pro or opening files in the workspace the metadata associated with that file in Benubird Pro is written directly to the file (if that file type supports metadata).

    The full press release for this new version can be found here: Debenu Announces the Release of its Personal Document Management Software, Benubird Pro 1.3.1.2.
