3.4.18 Feature transfer and document compatibility
Corel PDF Fusion supports the conversion of documents between various formats.
While all document formats naturally support a broad spectrum of common features, it
is inevitable that some features that are specific to one format are not available in
another. Annotations, for example, are supported in PDF, but not currently in the XPS
document format. Furthermore, some formats—most importantly PDF—exist in
multiple versions, where new versions have introduced features that are not available in
older versions.
Corel PDF Fusion allows conversion between document formats (and differing versions
of formats). It also allows for the transfer of pages between documents in its workspace,
without requiring those documents to be in the same version of a format, or even in the
same format at all.
The end result is that Corel PDF Fusion needs to deal with various cases where a
document (or page) contains features that cannot be accommodated by the target
document. The following provides some information on how Corel PDF Fusion handles
specific conversions:
PDF to PDF of the same version
All features of the input document are preserved in the output
document.
PDF to PDF of a newer version
All features of the input document are preserved in the output
document.
The destination document dictates the version number of the combined
result. For instance, when a page is dragged from a PDF 1.5 document
into a PDF 1.6 document, the latter stays as a PDF 1.6, rather than being
downgraded to 1.5.
PDF to PDF of an older version
All features of the input document are preserved in the output
document.
When moving pages to a PDF document of an older version, Corel PDF
Fusion performs a check on the page content to determine whether any
features are used that are unavailable in the older version. If such features
are found, a warning is displayed indicating that these features are lost.
PDF to XPS
All features that are common to XPS and PDF are preserved.
Features that are specific to PDF (such as annotations) are dropped.
All non-normal blend modes and complex shading are rendered when
converting from PDF to XPS.
