Convert batches of Word, Excel, and other files to PDF. Split PDFs by bookmarks, single pages, and ranges. Set PDF security and display options. Extract text and metadata from PDF documents. The Professional version of PDF Junction includes facilities to convert Microsoft Office and other documents to PDF.

In addition, all options can be used from the command line without having used the GUI. The functionality of PDF Junction can be extended by using custom scripts which may be called at various points during the processing of a particular job. The custom scripts are Windows Script Files which allow scripting in either VBScript or Jscript.

Visual Basic is an object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. Using Visual Basic makes it fast and easy to create type-safe .NET apps. Visual Basic focuses on supplying more of the features of the Visual Basic Runtime (microsoft.visualbasic.dll) to .NET Core and is the first version of Visual Basic focused on .NET Core. Many portions of the Visual Basic Runtime depend on WinForms and these will be added in a later version of Visual Basic. .NET is a free, open-source development platform for building many kinds of apps. With .NET, your code and project files look and feel the same no matter which type of app you're building. You have access to the same runtime, API, and language capabilities with each app. A Visual Basic program is built up from standard building blocks. A solution comprises one or more projects. A project in turn can contain one or more assemblies. Each assembly is compiled from one or more source files.
