Turn a New Page With Your Documents
Sisyphus had his rock. The Yankees have A-Rod. You have documents. Burdens all. Does your client have the software to open the document? Have you expunged the metadata? What if you have several documents to send? As these questions mount, hanging out with A-Rod's cousin and injecting yourself with controlled substances starts looking good by comparison.
gDoc Fusion … in One Sentence
Global Graphics Software's gDoc Fusion enables you to organize, edit, and annotate documents in various formats, and export them as a single PDF file.
The Killer Feature
Many lawyers like to assemble all the work performed on a matter into a single PDF file for clients. But creating such files often involves a lot of manual work.
With gDoc Fusion, you can assemble such documents by dragging and dropping files in the Document View. In addition to organizing the order of the documents, you can even move pages within documents (e.g., insert an Excel chart within a Word document).
When you finish organizing and editing these documents, you can export a single PDF (or PDF/A) file free of metadata to send your client.
Other Notable Features
gDoc Fusion doesn't only organize files, it enables you to edit them. You can also redact text or images, rotate pages, and create bookmarks and annotations. gDoc Fusion supports Microsoft Office, PDF, and XPS formats.
For long documents, gDoc Fusion includes FlickView, which enables you to visually search for a page much like flipping through a book.
What Else Should You Know?
gDoc Fusion adds buttons to Microsoft Office's toolbar or ribbon, enabling you to create PDF files with one click. In addition to exporting in PDF format, you can also export in Word format. gDoc Fusion works with Windows XP or Vista. It costs $99. Learn more about gDoc Fusion.
