- Intelligent PDF support for MS Office files: Automatically convert headings, metadata, hyperlinks and more to PDF equivalents.
- Network Watched Folders: Operates in batch mode via directory scanning for on-demand PDF conversion. Watched Folders are scanned allowing users to drag and drop ?les from the desktop to the server.
- ToImageStitchPages: combines all the PDF pages into a single output image file, with the choice of stitching them together vertically or horizontally.
- SetPDFSecurityAES: This method has a new parameter that allows you to select either 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption.
- UseSecureConnection: It allows you to use HTTPS for secure connections when working in the COM environment. Note: DocConverter's .NET connections use WCF, which is secure by default.

- SetTIFFConversionOptions: Use this method to specify whether or not to use the orientation and compression defined in the TIFF image files when converting TIFF image files to PDF.
- SetPDFCompression: Turn this method on or off when, during PDF conversions, page objects and fonts are now compressed by default, resulting in output PDFs with smaller file sizes.
