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.

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

Prevent printing PDFs

Prevent opening PDFs without a   password
Prevent editing PDFs (yes, PDFs can   be edited)


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.
