pdfFactory - create PDF files, convert documents to PDF

July 19, 2007 (Press Release) -- pdfFactory is the award-winning alternative to high-cost PDF file creation that offers the following key benefits: much less expensive, much easier to use, much faster PDF file creation, much smaller high-quality PDFs. With pdfFactory, a single mouse click is all it takes to create PDF files — at a fraction of the cost — that can be published on Web sites, emailed or archived.

Features

Combines multiple documents into a single PDF:
Increases the convenience of document delivery by having a single PDF that contains material from different sources. For example, a document may have a cover sheet created in Quark, body content from Word and financial addenda created in Excel. This function is automatic. Just keep printing documents to pdfFactory and they will automatically be concatenated.

Preview:
Allows quick, accurate previewing of the PDF, including up to 400% zoom, without saving the file first and without opening Acrobat.

Create PDF or Print to Paper:
Only pdfFactory allows printing to paper or PDF without printing twice. Acrobat is not needed for printing.

Font embedding:
Ensures that the original fonts used in a document are displayed even if the reader of the PDF does not have the fonts installed on his or her computer.
Font Embedding Assistant displays the fonts used in a document and recommends which fonts should be embedded BEFORE the PDF is created.

Security:
Encrypt (40 or 128 bit modes) and control access to PDF files as follows:

Prevent printing PDFs
Prevent copying PDF text and graphics
Prevent opening PDFs without a password
Prevent editing PDFs (yes, PDFs can be edited)

Live URL Links:
Customize links by line type, thickness and color to open Web pages and email addresses with a click of your mouse.

AutoSave:
Saves entire contents of pdfFactory sessions automatically so you can retrieve previously compiled PDFs.

Unattended operation:
Can be set up to generate PDFs without any user interface or user interaction. International font support:
Asian, Central European, symbol, and other non-ANSI fonts are supported.

Page insertion and deletion:
Allows unwanted material to be deleted before the PDF is created. Blank pages can also be inserted before or after any page.

Advanced file naming options:
Allows easy default selection of file names so that in most instances it is not necessary to type a file name.

Easy server deployment:
Install on a server as a shared printer for easy group or enterprise deployment.

Send via email:
One mouse click sends PDFs through your default email program.
