Adobe Acrobat PDF files have quickly become the defacto standard for document distribution for Intranets, Extranets and the Internet!

The huge benefit of the PDF format is, once generated the creator knows the viewer will see every page and image the way it was intended and that a suitable viewer is most likely already installed on the targets PC (Acrobat Viewer, MS Internet Explorer etc.)

All fonts, text, pictures etc and formatting are preserved as created Additionally Adobes own free viewer is available from many internet sites - though most software distributed today automatically installs the Acrobat viewer (if not already present) to allow viewing of Software and Installation instructions - so most PCs today will already have a viewer installed!

Adobe PDF files are highly compressed and allow multi page/multi colour viewing - and are thus ideal for the distribution of documentation by any modern means.

However the creation of PDF files requires the acquisition of a suitable Software program to do this and as you would expect Adobe provide this too - though this time at a cost.

PDF files can be quickly created from any Windows application within seconds - no training is required or special knowledge - its point and click to the installed PDF Printer and output to a PDF file is created - rather than to the printed page

At what Cost

The current Single Seat pricing of Adobe Acrobat is 169.00/$279.00 per user with no advertised discount structure for multiple licensing available.

The very popularity of the PDF format is in fact the problem for many corporate users - how do you ensure that licensing is adhered to and that for each single license purchased only 1 copy is installed - rather than proliferating to unauthorised use on multiple PCs - or alternatively ensuring that an economic means of PDF file generation is broadly available to all staff without giving the Accountants a nightmare to budget!

After all, few set out to intentionally illegally use multiple copies of licenced software - but very few companies can categorically state that no such software is in use within their organisation today!

Now there is a simple and cost effective way to ensure all your staff have access to a means of PDF file creation that will keep the Accountants blood pressure within the safety limits! PDF Xchange is a Quality software tool that allows users to simply and easily create Adobe PDF native files - at a fraction of the cost of the original product.

Because PDF Xchange can be licenced per user, per site or for an entire business Worldwide at a fraction of the cost of the Adobe Acrobat licence cost, you need never worry about who is using an illegal copy again!
