Ltd.[3] It supports saving PDF forms (AcroForms) and importing or exporting form data in FDF/XFDF format. Since version 2.5, there has been partial support forXFA, and exporting form data in XML Data Package (XDP) orXML format.OCR support was also added in version 2.5.
Through its printdriver, PDF files are able to be created from any Windows app that supports printing.

From 2001 to 2021, Tracker Software had also licensed commercialSDKs for working with TIFF and PDF formats, but these were discontinued so the company could focus on their primary revenue stream, sales of end-user applications.[6]
