Convert any document you have to PDF or image file like JPEG or TIFF!
Universal Document Converter is an intuitive productivity solution that allows users to convert documents into PDF or image file formats for distribution. The application installs itself as a virtual printer on the user’s computer. Once the file to be converted is opened, the user only needs to choose the “Universal Document Converter” printer and “print” the file for the conversion to successfully take place.
Universal Document Converter is capable of converting a document from its current format into one of eight different output formats, including popular options like PDF, JPEG, DCX, BMP, PCX, GIF and even high quality TIFF and PNG image files. The application employs an advanced algorithm for image quantization, which makes it possible to convert a file into your desired format while still retaining the highest possible quality in comparison to the original.
As security is a high priority in today’s modern technological climate, it should come as no surprise that Universal Document Converter offers a number of different document protection methods for you to choose from depending on your needs. Copy-paste protection can be enabled at will, which will prevent the recipient from copying the text and pasting it into a different program on their computer for unauthorized distribution. Watermark compatibility is also offered, which extends content protection to hard copies of documents that may be printed in the future. Standard password protection is also available.
Universal Document Converter is the most complete solution for the conversion of documents of any types into Adobe PDF or graphic files. The underlying basis of Universal Document Converter is the innovative technology of virtual printing. As a result, exporting Microsoft Word documents, Excel tables, PowerPoint presentations, or Autodesk AutoCAD drawings into a chosen format is just as easy as using a desktop printer. Universal Document Converter can assist you in preparation of documents for web publishing, while protecting them from unauthorized copy & paste practices. And, of course, choosing Universal Document Converter means big savings. Not only do you cut expenses on the development and implementation of a corporate document flow system, but you also save your precious time when preparing PowerPoint presentations and sending materials to the printshop or publisher.

The Universal Document Converter is able to convert documents to files of the following types: BMP, DCX, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF.
BMP (Bitmap): a raster graphic format. It is supported by many applications under DOS, Windows, and OS/2 but is not supported by Mac OS. BMP lends itself to lossless sequential compression using the RLE algorithm. Color bit depth may vary between 1 and 48 bits per pixel. Large file size is BMP’s primary drawback.
DCX: a PCX-based bitmap graphic format. This is essentially multi-page PCX. Uses a fast but inefficient compression algorithm unsuitable for images with a lot of detail, such as photographs.
GIF (Graphic Interchange Format): a bitmap graphic format developed specifically for the transmission of images over networks. GIF images are stored as lines, and only the format with an indexed color palette is supported. The standard was developed to support a 256-color palette. The GIF format uses lossless LZW compression algorithm. Therefore, good compression is achieved for images with lines containing recurring sequences, such as, images with many horizontally aligned pixels of the same color.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): a bitmap graphics format designed specifically for compact storage and online publication of photo quality color images. At this time, it is the most widely used format in the world. JPEG comprises a lossy image compression algorithm. The degree of compression may be set by the user producing files of different sizes and images of different quality.
PDF (Portable Document Format): a platform-independent electronic document format developed by Adobe Systems using a number of capabilities offered by PostScript. Its primary purpose is to present printed matter in an electronic format because much of the advanced professional printing equipment is able to process PDF files directly.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics): a bitmap graphic format that uses lossless compression. PNG was designed both as an improvement and a replacement for GIF and as a graphic format that may be used without a license.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format): a bitmap graphic format. It was developed by Aldus in conjunction with Microsoft. It has become popular as a storage format for images with great color bit depth. TIFF is very flexible and can store photographs using different palettes as well as different color spaces. This format implements support for a number of compression algorithms. In addition, it is possible to save TIFF files with no compression.
All graphic formats have unique features, drawbacks, and advantages. Therefore, each is best suited for a particular class of problem.
Photos. Traditionally, JPEG has been used to create, store, and process photographic images. However, it should be kept in mind that this format uses lossy compression. And the higher the compression, the more obvious the various image artifacts are.
Electronic Documents. The most common electronic format for documents is PDF. Thanks to its unique features, it has become the international standard in this area.
Internet Graphics. The two most used online formats are JPEG and GIF. One or the other is normally selected based on the size of the resulting file. JPEG is better for images with a lot of detail and a large number of hues. GIF is best for images with a relatively small number of colors (especially, as part of the website design layouts). The PNG format can be used alongside with GIF, though less commonly, because some web browsers do not support it. In addition, PDF files may be used for the online publication of price lists, documents, various product catalogues, etc.
Printed Graphics. The TIFF graphic file format is the printing industry’s de facto standard. Uncompressed files are used in certain cases. However, the LZW lossless compression algorithm is most commonly used.
Presentation Graphics. JPEG and PNG are normally used to insert graphic images into presentations. The former is used for photos and other images with a high degree of detail, while the latter one is used for graphs, diagrams, etc.
Animation. The GIF format is used to create graphic animation files.
Special Capabilities. Sometimes, users have a need to address a special problem. A suitable format is then selected based on the situation. Thus, much of the legacy or special-purpose software does not support anything other than BMP graphics files. Therefore, if such software is used, files must be converted into this format.
If a certain Word document received by email is not displayed correctly or cannot be opened at all, this may happen for many reasons: there is no required software installed on a tablet, or the preferred font is not there on the computer, etc.
Saving this document as a bitmapped PDF file will be a good solution. A bitmapped PDF will ensure that the document will be opened on any PC, tablet, or a smartphone.
The PDF format is known for its portability. It will accurately display any document on any electronic device. A bitmapped PDF will guarantee that each page of a document will contain one graphic file which will be displayed correctly regardless of the circumstances.
Saving the document as a PDF file before sending it over by email means that the recipient will be able to open it on any computer or a tablet. The document will not be distorted and will look exactly the same as the original.
To save Word document as PDF, download and install the Universal Document Converter. Open the document, select Universal Document Converter toolbar and click Convert to PDF:
By default, Universal Document Converter will save any document as a searchable PDF file. It means that the text contained in the document becomes searchable by a key word or a phrase.

A virtual printer is specialized software implemented as a printer driver but not connected to an actual printer. This approach is used in many applications that have to do with the conversion of documents to other formats as well as sending fax messages.
Here is the basic operating principle of a virtual printer: once this software is installed, a new printer appears on the system. Whenever a document is sent to it, the program attempting to print converts the file into a standard data stream (usually, a program written in PostScript). The driver of a conventional printer converts it into a series of commands physically to control a printing head. A virtual printer handles the stream differently, for instance, by saving it as a graphic file in a specified format.
If one were to compare a virtual printer with a conventional document converter, it would prove to have two important advantages. The first one is its flexibility. A virtual printer will convert any source documents regardless of their format. The only condition is that the user must have the software to open the file in question and to send it to a printer. The other advantage is the ease of use for the end user. Any person who knows how to print a file can use a virtual printer to covert the documents without any prior training.
Virtual printers are frequently used as modules in a multi-purpose editor to convert the documents into a desired format. In addition, there is a fairly large number of stand-alone products in the virtual printer category on the market. They normally have more sophisticated functionality.
Ability to save several separate files as a single multipage file like PDF, TIFF, or DCX is one of the unique features of Universal Document Converter. Universal Document Converter allows combining the files of different types into a single file in just a couple of clicks.
To combine several documents into a single multipage file you can “print” them one after another using the Universal Document Converter as the virtual printer. Specify the output file format (such as PDF) and choose the option Append all documents to the existing file.
Combining several graphic files into a single file, such as PDF, TIFF, or DCX takes longer time than processing the documents.
Universal Document Converter and Print Conductor can help combine documents and images into a single multipage PDF file.
- Add the documents and images to the list
- Click Change Settings
- Choose PDF document from the list of output files and select the option Append all documents to the existing file
- Click OK to save the introduced settings and click Start to convert your images and documents into a single PDF file
Software developers involved in similar projects can quickly install the Universal Document Converter on any number of workstations thanks to its automatic deployment, and can make use of the available public API and code examples.
To lay a stress on the document’s significance or limited intended use, you can place a text watermark indicating it.
To place the watermark, please follow the instruction:
- Open the document and click Print
- Select Universal Document Converter from the list and click Properties
- Go to Watermark, choose Text label and select the desired settings
- Click OK to start the conversion process.
You also can place picture on the document and add a letterhead to a document.
To limit unauthorized access to your documents you should convert them into password protected PDF files. Please follow the instruction:
- Open the document and click Print
- Choose the file File Format the menu and be sure that the PDF Document is selected
- In PDF Standard select Password protected and enter password like shown on the screenshot below
- In case you need to add pages to an existing PDF, the password should remain the same. If the existing PDF is not password protected, new pages should not be password protected either
- Click OK to print the document in PDF.
