Amyuni PDF Converter - Features

The PDF Converter is a virtual printer driver that allows you to create a PDF document from any application running under Windows operating systems. It can be installed on the end-users system like any standard printer. An automatic installation software is provided for an even easier installation without end-user interaction. Instead of printing to a standard printer, you will just select our printer. A file will be generated, which you can then transmit over the Intranet, Internet or view with the Amyuni PDF Creator or the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

PDF Converter is based on our internal developments and does not rely on external libraries such as Ghostscript. Licensing and distribution are hassle-free and developers are not required to license any external technology in order to distribute Amyuni tools.
