Black Ice Software is proud to announce BiBatchConverter 5.35 with major new features and stability improvements, greatly improving the usability of the software and the quality of the document conversion.

The new BiBatchConverter comes with new features to automatically preserve the original page size, page orientation, and color depth when converting images, and also comes with a new feature to Remove Blank Pages when converting documents, allowing users to filter out empty pages from the produced documents.

The new BiBatchConverter Desktop Application offers new options to open the output folder when the conversion is finished and to Shut Down the computer when the conversion is finished, to make using the software more steamlined.

The latest Desktop application also helps you stay updated! The new BiBatchConverter Desktop application is able to check for new BiBatchConverter versions on the Black Ice Software servers and download the new version automatically to help customers upgrade the BiBatchConverter.

The new BiBatchConverter implements dozens of further stability and quality improvements for the document conversion, including two new supported file formats, IBM IOCA and MO:DCA.
