Description
CUPS-PDF is distributed under the GPL license and is available for a variety of operating systems, or it can be compiled directly from its source code. This application is intended to create PDF documents within a diverse network by offering a PDF printer on a central file server. Since CUPS-PDF needs to change file ownership, it requires root access to function properly. To guarantee that CUPS-PDF operates with the necessary root privileges, it is essential to assign ownership of the cups-pdf backend to 'root' and configure the backend's file permissions to 0700, allowing access only to root. Additionally, CUPS-PDF operates optimally on a fully featured UNIX filesystem, so it is important to ensure that any working directories associated with CUPS-PDF that are situated on NFS-mounted volumes are properly mounted. Proper configuration and permissions are critical for the smooth operation of CUPS-PDF in networked environments.
Description
PDFCreator automates document output in Windows-based business environments, covering the whole creation pipeline from conversion to delivery. It converts print output from any application into PDF, JPG, PNG, or TIF via a virtual printer, so existing workflows don’t need to change.
Businesses use PDFCreator to streamline repetitive document tasks: output is captured, formatted, named, secured, and routed according to configurable profiles. Typical use cases include automated report generation, batch processing of large document sets, and compliant document delivery in regulated industries.
Key capabilities include encryption, password protection, digital signatures, watermarking, MSI-based deployment, Group Policy support, and centralized profile management. It works with Word, Excel, browsers, ERP platforms, and essentially any Windows application that can print.
PDFCreator is available as a free edition for individual, non‑commercial use, alongside three paid editions tailored to business, terminal server, and broader enterprise deployments.
