The product has user interfaces and documentation that are localised to French and German.
We have fixed a number of issues since the release of PDF Editor 2.0; some of these are listed below:
- The product now detects the installation of version 2.0 and upgrades them, preserving user
settings and the license key. It is still recommend that users un-install version 1.1 before
installing version 2.0 or 2.1. A new serial number is still required if upgrading from 1.1 to 2.1.
