Editor's Review
Adobe Acrobat has long been considered the standard for PDF file creation, which is why pdfFactory Pro 3 could prove such a useful alternative option. Allowing simple PDF creation, digital book design, and a wide range of tools normally only found in $100+ applications, pdfFactory 3 is a major contender for simple PDF creation and management.
What sets pdfFactory Pro 3 apart from Adobe Acrobat? Firstly, there's the simple interface, which is designed to make PDF creation as easy as possible. Users that aren't familiar with PDF software will have no problem importing their MS Word or TXT documents into pdfFactory Pro 3, adjusting them to suit the new publishing style, and exporting them as PDF files.
Creating PDF archives of separate documents is simple in pdfFactory Pro, which allows users to import multiple documents into a single PDF file. There's no need to adapt to new software; simply print your files to pdfFactory Pro the same way you would a regular document. Once you print them in a regular word processor, they'll appear as PDF documents, ready to publish or send.
For confidential documents, pdfFactory Pro provides a variety of encryption methods. PDF files can be password protected, copy protected, or even prevented from being printed. For users that want to protect their PDF files from modification, pdfFactory Pro can ensure that your PDFs are locked, ensuring that nobody can edit their contents.
pdfFactory Pro contains a simple built-in email interface, which allows users to send created PDF files through their standard email service. Users can easily import documents from their favorite word processors or graphics programs, convert and format them as PDFs, and email them on to coworkers, friends, and customers.
