The company claims the tool can identify more than 100 different PDF problems, even the more difficult ones that occur in relation to patterns, form, XObjects, Smooth Shades, CID and OPI comments. The plug-in utility also includes a text-search feature over all output and correction profiles and has a reporting ability to document all corrections made to each PDF file.
PDFCorrect is available for Adobe Acrobat 6 and 7 and is compatible with Mac OS and Windows 2000/XP. Pricing for a single user license is about $194, with an introductory price, good until May 31, of about $130.
