TOP 5 Questions & Answers

  • Will your software convert my PDF files?
    All products from Visual Integrity are designed to convert PDF files that have been generated by applications and not by scanners. These files are comprised of lines, curves and text and are scalable. Our products can not generate editable objects from scanned drawings or sketches. To be a bit more technical, our software performs vector-to-vector conversions and not raster-to-vector conversions. To see whether your file is a scalable PDF or a raster PDF, please try this simple test.

  • I purchased your software, but now it asks me for a license key. Where can I find it?
    The license key is sent after your order is checked and assigned a serial number by one of our customer service specialists. This can take up to one business day, depending on office hours and time differences. If you're in a hurry to get started, please contact support@visual-integrity.com to request a key. We will respond as soon as possible. Please check your spam filters and firewalls to ensure that they have not blocked the confirmation mail.

  • There are grey horizontal and vertical lines in the output, that are not supposed to be there! What's wrong?
    As a control mechanism, the trial installation imprints a watermark on every file it produces. This watermark consists of a grid of grey horizontal and vertical lines as well as some text. Note that this watermark can also affect the scaling of the output file. After you purchase a license and receive a full license key, the watermark will no longer be inserted into the output. To see a sample conversion without the watermark, you are welcome to send a sample file to support@visual-integrity.com.

  • The text is there in the output, but the fonts look all wrong. How can I get the right fonts?
    To comply with the licensing regulations of font suppliers, our software does not embed fonts in the vector output formats. Instead, it references the fonts by name. The output file relies on the target system to have the referenced fonts available and expects the font names to match. Often, the same font may have several different names. Arial Bold, for example, may be referenced ambiguously as "EHJPKB+Arial-Bold" in the original file. This is Greek to the target application so the font name must be "mapped" so that it displays correctly. If the font is not mapped correctly, the closest font will be substituted. In this example, "EHJPKB_Arial-Bold" must be mapped as "Arial" with font style "Bold". See this PDF for instructions on how to do this with the Windows version

  • My vector (WMF, CGM, DXF or HPGL) output has lines and fills flying all over the place! What is this?
    These file formats do not support a graphical feature called cropping, which is what PDF and PostScript use to show only part of an object (for example, a circular part of a picture). To overcome this structural limitation, we have developed a very special feature that simulates the PS/PDF cropping commands in these output formats. To apply it, select the "Emulate PS/PDF cropping" feature in the General tab opt the Options menu.
