Recommendations For Use

RoboPDF 3.0 is designed for anyone who can click a mouse button! It is also perfectly suited for “non-technical” users who simply need to create and distribute documents in a secure, compact, universal format. RoboPDF is perfect for Microsoft Office users who need to create PDFs, but don’t have the time (or money) to bother with complex technical settings. Basically, RoboPDF is for anyone who wants to create and distribute PDF documents!

With RoboPDF, you can easily create or email any Microsoft Office document as a compact PDF document, instantly secure sensitive medical, legal, or business documents, streamline document distribution with highly compressed files, create universally accessible files that are viewable on any platform, quickly capture Web pages and HTML, and create online newsletters, flyers, and marketing materials.

The RoboPDF 3.0 Desktop Version is a stand-alone PDF creation tool that installs on a single user’s desktop to provide fast, easy, local PDF creation. This means that only the person who downloads RoboPDF onto their machine will be able to take advantage of RoboPDF’s PDF creation capabilities. This trial is best for people who want to evaluate RoboPDF for themselves of for those organizations who do not have access to a server for RoboPDF distribution.

The RoboPDF Server is a single server install that allows an IT resource to quickly and easily manage your entire organization's RoboPDF license from one dynamic program. The RoboPDF Server allows a single person to install on a server for easy “mass” distribution and management of your entire organization’s PDF creation capabilities. Once installed on a server, end-users can simply “add” the RoboPDF client like they would any other Network Printer. Licenses are managed dynamically from the RoboPDF EasyLicense Manager server interface, and there is full mobile user support! The RoboPDF Server version puts the power of RoboPDF into the hands of those who need it most without overworking IT resources in the process.

With RoboPDF's amazing pricing, all organizations will want to give serious attention to this super program. In many businesses today, desktop users are likely working with a variety of original source applications to create documents that are necessary by everyone else in the organization. With the ease of PDF conversion in RoboPDF, now these organizations have the tool they need to enable these users to quickly and easily convert their documents to the PDF standard that anyone with the PDF reader can open and read.

RoboPDF is also an excellent, user-friendly PDF converter that provides most all features most users need. While RoboPDF does not offer some of the higher end features you get in Adobe Acrobat, RoboPDF does do a super job of making it very easy and convenient for folks to create PDF versions of their key system documents.
