Thank you for choosing ELAN Converter™™.

ELAN Converter™™ is a professional tool for converting raster image files into Portable Document Format (PDF). For PDF files, both the Image-Only and Image+Text sub-formats are supported (depending on the version purchased).

The whole application is built around an image batch processor and converter engine, which reads raster images and creates PDF files. In a typical case, you select a directory where your original images are located. This is called the input directory. Next, you set up the conversion and file format options. After that, you can initiate a batch conversion by simply clicking on a button.

ELAN Converter™™ was designed for automatically converting large number of image files without any user interaction. After selecting which directories to convert, the software can be left alone for hours, until it finishes the conversion job. Should any errors occur during the conversion, the engine will generate a log, which contains the file name, the date, time and reason of the error. These images can be re-converted after the error is corrected.

The software is able to process virtually any kind of raster image file, bitonal, grayscale and color alike. Single-page and multipage images are equally supported.

In addition to the simple batch processing, the software also supports a so-called watch mode (Pro version only). In this mode, ELAN Converter™ monitors the selected directories for changes. Whenever a new file appears in one of the directories, it will automatically process those images. You can use this feature to convert raster images into PDF right after scanning.

ELAN Converter™™ Barcode Edition is also included as a sperate executable application for supporting scanning with barcode separation sheets and driving PDF creation with the help of the detected barcode values.

The ELAN Barcode Printer application aides the creation of barcode separation sheets used during document preparation if used with ELAN Converter™™ Barcode Edition.

For advanced users, we provided a command line version of ELAN Converter™™, which can be called from custom applications, including Visual Basic and regular batch files (.BAT).

The software was designed for the professional market, therefore it has an extensive logging capability.
