Work with a virtual printer for generating and managing PDFs. Process printable materials and organize them according to personal specifications and the structural requirements of the documents. Add password protection with 256/128/40 bit encryption, integrate background images, etc.
PDF Writer – bioPDF can create PDF documents. The product is installed as a printer driver, which means that it can be used directly from any other application that supports printing. It is great that the tool can also export to other formats, such as Word document and many types of images.
The application is as easy to use as a real printer. Thus, after choosing it as output in the Print dialog box, you can use the default settings and proceed to create your document without much trouble. However, you can customize the tool to meet your exact needs. In this respect, it is a good idea to save some time by setting the default configuration. Therefore, in addition to choosing the desired output format, you can also pick a quality level and manage compatibility options. Likewise, you can protect the contents of your files with a password and embed your own watermarks. Also, the tool can append new pages to an existing document if it is needed. Another important advantage of PDF Writer-bio PDF is that it is possible to automate the whole conversion process by writing scripts. Finally, it is good to know that you can share the results of your work by not only saving them to disk but also uploading them to FTP or HTTP servers. It is a pity, though, that there is no way to store the output document directly on the Cloud.
All in all, PDF Writer-bio PDF is quite versatile in terms of available output formats. I have to say that its customization options are definitely its most valuable asset. This product can be tried for free, but you need to pay for a license if you want to continue using it. In this regard, you should know that, although the tool is certainly more affordable than Adobe Acrobat, there are various PDF creators available at no cost. So, it is for you to assess the alternatives and make a decision according to your necessities.
