novaPDF - Windows 7 PDF creator
May 7, 2009

novaPDF 6.3 was tested and is fully compatible with Windows 7 RC (version 6.1.7100).

The fact that novaPDF works with the release candidate version means that it will be for sure compatible with the final release of Windows 7. This way early adopters will be able to continue to use novaPDF to create PDF files on Windows 7 too.
You can download the Windows 7 compatible version here: novaPDF 6.3
