The latest version of these files is available online at http://www.jafsoft.com/doco/docindex.html
As well as the more conventional Windows version, AscToPDF functionality is now available in a number of additional forms to suit the special needs of users.

API version
Console version
Linux version
For those wishing to call AscToPDF programmatically, an API has been developed. This is sold under separate license. Contact info<at>jafsoft.com if you're interested (replace the "<at>" by "@").
You can get more details and an evaluation copy from
The same API is used for all JafSoft converters. You can read more in the API documentation at
Although AscToPDF is primarily offered as a Windows application, the program is also available as a console application which is made available at no extra cost to registered users. There are a number of command line options described in this document. The Windows version is also capable of accepting command line options.
A console version is more suited to certain modes of batch processing, (for example it can use a steering data file, and won't get focus when executed).
The conversion engine is identical in each case, it's just GUI-less.
Please note this console version is not a DOS version, that is it will run in a "DOS" window under windows, but not on a system booted under DOS.
Although available before to registered users, the console version is now also available for evaluation, due to it's popularity amongst those doing automated batch conversions to PDF.

Linux versions of JafSoft converters have been successfully built as both command line programs, and in API form. Unfortunately JafSoft are unable to support Linux versions directly at the current time, and have only supplied versions in the past under a source code license.
