Technical note

Before you convert TAB to PDF

PDF keeps the geometry as vector paths, so lines and boundaries stay sharp at any zoom, but the map becomes a drawing. Coordinates turn into positions on the page, the attribute table is left behind, and a standard PDF records nothing about where on earth the drawing lies.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see TAB data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to PDF for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to PDF with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

My scanner saves everything as PDF, but I need images for my blog. reaConverter converts PDF to PNG with one click. The batch processing handles entire folders, and the output is always crisp. No more manual screenshots!

We use reaConverter to merge multiple PDFs into one and compress them for email attachments. The batch mode is a godsend – we process 50+ documents every week. Never had a single error or corrupted file. Highly recommended!

PDF is certainly a universal format, but sometimes you need JPEG files instead. For conversion, I use reaConverter - a lightning-fast program. No online editor can match its speed. Install it once, and you're set. Just open, convert, and done!
