PDF Files
PhotoLine can save documents as PDF. On doing that text and vector
graphic is - if possible - not reduced to pixel graphics.
On saving optionally all color information in a document can be
converted to CMYK.
PhotoLine can also import PDF files. The import keeps the structure of the document intact, this means, text is read as text layers and vector graphics is read as vector layers.

Documents With Multiple Pages
PhotoLine is able to work with documents containing more than one page.
This allows the creation of booklets and flyers. In contrast to classic
image processing PhotoLine can create empty pages (pages without a background
image) which can be used to place images, text and vector graphics.
Powerful Text Functions
Aside from the usual rectangular text boxes text in PhotoLine can
run along vector paths, too.
Furthermore text can flow from one text box to another or to the next page.
Text flowing around or inside another object is also possible.

Dynamic Effects
Dynamic effects are functions, that are only added to a layer and don't
modify the layer data. This allows accessing the original data every
time you want to, which means, afterwards text can still be edited as
normal text and vector graphics as vector graphics.
There are three groups of dynamic effects:
