OREANDA-NEWS. September 28, 2015. LULU SOFTWARE, the creator of the award-winning Soda PDF, announces the release of the newest and most advanced version of their PDF software. Soda PDF 8 is equipped with over thirty new features and improvements based on customer feedback -- it is the fastest loading, most user-friendly Soda PDF yet.

With the ever-growing adoption of the PDF format for digital document management, users expect highly efficient software that is fully integrated in their workflow. Not only does Soda PDF 8 load 50% faster than its previous version, it also includes a hibernation option for near-instant loading, thus increasing productivity. Soda PDF is one of the most connected PDF solutions on the market; it now offers connectivity with Box, Google Drive and Evernote, in addition to the existing OneDrive and Dropbox integration.

Another popular request from Soda PDF users was the addition of a Side-By-Side View feature. Users now have the freedom to juxtapose two documents and work on them on the same screen. Activating the nifty Synchronous Scrolling option also allows users to scroll through both documents at the same time.

Previously reserved for business users, the Redaction and PDF to PDF/A conversion features are now available to all users who purchase the Convert and Secure & Sign modules. The Redaction feature allows users to permanently black out confidential information from their documents, and the PDF to PDF/A conversion function makes it possible for users to archive their electronic documents.

The improvements for Soda PDF 8 are not limited to new features; there is also a brand new 64-bit version of Soda PDF that opens up plugins in MS Office for Windows 64-bit users. You can find the full list of new features and improvements on the Soda PDF blog.

The release of the newest software update was accompanied by an overhaul of the entire Soda PDF website (www.sodapdf.com). Both the design and content were completely revamped to reflect all the exciting and innovative new features and functionalities found in Soda PDF 8. The website's navigation is now simplified and mobile-friendly.

"LULU Software was built on the premise of making document management easier and more intuitive," says Eric Gareau, CEO of LULU Software. "For the launch of Soda PDF 8, both user feedback and user experience were at the forefront of our priorities. The newest Soda PDF introduces many improvements and innovative features designed to improve productivity and make it the go-to solution for home and business users alike."
