What's New

New Features:

  • Products are fully compatible with Arm processors. This includes both native Arm devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro, and emulated devices (e.g. Mac M1 running Parallels).
  • Printer drivers are now certified and signed by Microsoft. This improves security and provides seamless installation and integration with newer versions of Windows.
  • Product files are now located in standard Windows directories (e.g. Program Files, Program Data), resulting in better application management and fewer false positives from antivirus software.
  • Server Edition updates are simpler and more predictable, no longer requiring printer drivers to be updated.
  • Performance improvements in all areas of the products, from installation to rendering speed
  • Better compatibility when opening PDF files
