novaPDF Printer is a virtual printer driver for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. Instead of
printing on paper, it creates Adobe compatible PDF files.
What is PDF?
PDF (the Adobe Portable Document Format) is a universal file format that preserves the
fonts, images, graphics, and layout of any source document, regardless of the application,
hardware and operating system used to create it. PDF files are compact and complete, and
can be shared, viewed, and printed by anyone with free Adobe Reader® software. PDF
documents are also independent of the output device on which they are to be displayed or
printed.
PDF has become the de facto standard for the electronic exchange of documents. Major
corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions streamline their operations
by replacing paper-based workflow with electronic exchange of information.
Why use novaPDF Printer?
novaPDF Printer can convert any printable file into a PDF file. Its purpose is to enable users
to easily exchange electronic documents, independently of the environment in which they
were initially created. It also helps companies to publish reports, marketing plans, price lists,
contracts, and any other documents in a portable electronic document format.
How to use novaPDF Printer?
All you have to do is to click Print from the application displaying the document and choose
the novaPDF Printer to create PDF files. You can generate high-quality and searchable PDF
files from any Windows application.
You can choose a default folder and file name for generated PDF files, or you can set them at
each print job. You can also choose different options for the output PDF file, including custom
paper size, resolution, portrait and landscape orientation, scale, image compression, font
embedding, PDF security and document metadata.
To create a PDF file you only need a windows application that can print (like notepad or
wordpad).
To view PDF files, you need the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader® (you can download it from www.adobe.com) or any other PDF viewer application.
novaPDF Printer is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server and requires
approximately 2MB of free disk space.
