Ashampoo PDF Pro 4 – your professional PDF

1. What’s new in version 4?

Ashampoo elevates the workflow to Office level: a ribbon interface, tab navigation and resizable thumbnails deliver a browser-like feel. A new spell-checker with up-to-date dictionaries plus automatic hyphenation ensures error-free layouts, while the change log highlights edits in colour.

3. Work smarter – here’s how

• Full-screen & dark mode – distraction-free reading and eye-friendly contrast for long sessions.
• Custom quick bar – one-click access to frequent commands such as Redact, Rotate pages or Watermark.
