Automatic Saving of PDFs

6 avril 2023Categories:About PDF

If you work with PDF files on a regular basis and convert multiple files of the same kind (for example invoices), there are features in a PDF converter tool like PDFCreator that can really help to speed up your workflow. One of these time-saving settings is “automatic saving". It lets you pre-select the target folder and values for the file name.

Your documents get saved automatically after printing

As mentioned in our article about How to create PDF files, one of the ways to create a PDF file is by printing it directly from the original document. It doesn't need to get any more "complicated" than that if you want to use the auto-save feature. In fact, it gets even easier. You enable automatic saving and predefine the settings once in your profile and connect a PDFCreator printer to it. Afterwards you will be able to skip the interaction with PDFCreator and just print directly from your document without having to choose a target folder or file name.
