·create PDF links - recognizes links to files and formatted URLs (starting with "http://", "www", "mailto:" or "ftp://") included in the original document, and create them in the generated PDF file as links, so they can be opened by clicking them in the PDF viewer
·send PDF via email - once created, the PDF file can be automatically sent via email to different recipients, either using the default email client or directly from the application (using SMTP configuration).
·PDF Bookmarks - it can detect the headings in the printed document and add bookmarks in the generated PDF files. You have to define the text attributes for the document headings (font, size, style, color) and for the generated bookmarks.
·Watermarks - custom images or text can be used as a watermark for the resulting PDF file

 

You can also choose between Desktop edition or Server edition. If you use novaPDF on only one computer or your computers are not permanently connected in a network, you should choose the Desktop edition. If you want to use novaPDF as a shared network printer or in a Terminal Server environment, you should choose the Server edition. The Server edition adds features like license management and public profiles.
