Licensed
per server, activePDF Server 2009, a dynamic PDF generator, helps companies reduce per-user
software and support costs by offering centralized PDF generation and PDF conversion functionalities. activePDF Server enables users to easily add PDF
conversion to existing business applications.
Automated PDF Conversion
Using COM or .NET, you can easily configure the native application to
script the activePDF Server component and select the dynamically created activePDF
virtual printer for on the fly PDF generation. Don't worry if your application cannot select printers on
the fly - simply call the SetPrinterAsDefault method and immediately start
printing to PDF. By setting a few properties once, you can easily concatenate
multiple jobs together, incorporate security features, or perform PDF linearization
on a single document or an entire series of documents. Converting PostScript-to-PDF, PCL-to-PDF, XPS-to-PDF, or over 40 different image file formats to PDF is as easy as a single
method call. Literally, anything that can be
printed to a printer can be converted to PDF using activePDF Server, a robust PDF print driver.
Highly Scalable
Licensed per server, activePDF Server is a cost-effective way to generate PDF and provide
PDF output from any business application to your entire organization. Server's
unique multithreaded feature allows users to process PDF conversions simultaneously
without having to wait in a queue for their PDF output. Specifically engineered
to handle high-volume PDF generation, activePDF Server is the only PDF conversion
tool designed from the ground-up with server-side operation in mind. With
tuning parameters for both single and multiprocessor machines, you can easily
harness the power of large multi-CPU machines without paying a premium for dynamic PDF creation.
Easily Integrated
Server 2009 offers flexible .NET native and COM APIs, making integration with your existing application as simple as a single method call. Delphi and
more. Server also includes a centralized Administrative Console, allowing you to quickly
and easily build customized PDF configurations that you can then call from
within your application for dynamic PDF generation.
Seamless to End Users
Capable of redirecting ' print to PDF' output from virtually any Windows짰 based
application, activePDF eliminates the need for end-user intervention in the
PDF conversion process. Server-side conversion takes the guesswork out of
generating customized PDF output - end users are no longer troubled with confusing
PDF settings. Instead, with activePDF Server's properties and methods you
take full control of your PDF output on a job-by-job basis during the PDF conversion process.
Precise Control over PDF Output
With activePDF Server, you gain full control over your PDF output. Conversion options allow you to specify page size, compression and resolution options, embed text, create bookmarks, concatenate to existing files, and more! Plus, activePDF Server includes a PDFMark interpreter, allowing you to create feature-rich PDFs from any application capable of generating PDFMark.
Robust Security for PDF Files
Server supports 40 and 128-bit PDF encryption, enabling you to fully
secure your mission-critical PDF documents. Security options include password-protection,
allowing you to disable printing of PDFs, prevent copying of text and graphics, and
more. Additionally, Server's unique Fingerprint technology allows you to guarantee
document integrity of your PDF files. Simply apply a digital fingerprint when the PDF is converted,
and you can easily check at any point in your workflow to make sure the PDF document's
content is intact.
PDF Linearization
Also known as web optimization, linearization is the process of preparing
a large PDF document for byte-serving over the web. Byte-serving allows an
individual PDF page to be loaded instantly while remaining pages are loaded silently
in the background, instead of forcing the user to wait while the entire PDF document
streams to the browser before viewing its contents.
