v4.0.0 — FileForge Toolkit: Office & HTML conversion
FileForge Toolkit (renamed from Image & PDF Toolkit)
The app is now called FileForge Toolkit. Nothing about your files, settings, or the download location changes — this is a display-name update only.
New: Convert to / from PDF
- Word → PDF, PowerPoint → PDF, Excel → PDF — uses Microsoft Office automatically when it's installed, for exact fidelity. If Office isn't installed, a simplified fallback converter is used instead, with a clear warning shown before you convert.
- HTML → PDF — convert a local HTML file (with its linked stylesheets/images) into a PDF.
- Convert to PDF/A — best-effort conversion for long-term archival (embeds a standard color profile and archival metadata). Not a certified-compliance tool.
The sidebar's Convert section is now split into Convert to PDF and Convert from PDF.
Notes
- Installer size grew from ~98MB to ~118MB to support real Office-document conversion — still far short of what a bundled LibreOffice would have cost (~300-400MB), which was deliberately avoided.
- PDF → Word/PowerPoint/Excel (the reverse direction) is coming in a follow-up release.
