Automated PDF creation at scale
PDFCreator Server is designed for environments that need centralized, high-volume PDF conversion with minimal user interaction. It runs as a Windows service and allows IT administrators to manage everything from a central interface. It requires no installation or configuration on user machines.
How it works
01 Set up and configure
An admin installs PDFCreator Server, creates one or more virtual printers, and links each to a queue with specific conversion settings, e.g., file format, save location, or automated actions.
02 Share virtual printers
These printers can then be shared across the network and mapped to the users' machines, so that they can simply select the printer they need. No setup, no extra software, and no user training required.
03 Automated conversion
When a user prints, the server starts converting and modifying the file based on the printer’s configuration. When the files are saved to a network share, users with access can retrieve their files instantly.
Why businesses choose PDFCreator Server
Behind the scenes, PDFCreator Server uses a multi-threaded architecture to handle multiple print jobs at once. That means higher performance, faster processing, and less wait time, especially in environments with heavy print traffic.
