Use the Print2PDF prepare client feature to create a custom distribution for your organization. This is perfect for installation on computers not connected to the main Print2PDF installation, or if you have problems with the shared network printer installation. After you generate your custom client, the client installation can be done from a simple .exe program distributed via USB flash or a network share.

Steps to correctly generate your custom client

Follow these steps to correctly generate your custom client. Please be aware that if you do not activate your software before you generate the client, all installations with this build will be trial, and will not be activated:

1. Install the Print2PDF software on your server, or choose a computer that will be considered your main installation.
2. Activate the software with your purchased license using the Product Activation program from the Print2PDF program group.
3. Execute the Print2PDF Prepare Client batch script from the Print2PDF program group.

NOTE: If you have problems with the prepare client script, it can be found in the following location: %ProgramFiles%\Software602\Print2PDF\Client\prepare-client.bat. Run this script with Administration elevation since it requires write access to a location as a parameter (e.g. prepare-client.bat c:\temp\)

The Florida Times-Union has published an article about BinaryNow, below is an excerpt:

In the digital age, a business model can be based on pretty much anything.

Take Jacksonville-based BinaryNow Inc., for example. Its customers buy from the company via their computers using an intangible payment method and receive their intangible product immediately, downloading it directly to their computers.

It’s instant gratification for customers, who get to immediately use the software they’ve just downloaded and installed to their PCs. For Premysl Pech’s BinaryNow, it transitions minding the store to maintaining a Web site that’s at the center of it all.

Today, the office is in Jacksonville Beach, where Pech has rehired two former Software602 employees at BinaryNow, of which he’s president and co-owner. Brandon Sturgeon is his partner in the venture. The new company sells Software602 products for instant download, as well as products from other companies.

Kingsoft Internet Security 9 Plus was recently reviewed by CNET and has earned 4 out of 5 stars. The massive amount of program options and security services provided by the product was the highlight of the review.

Below is an excerpt from the review:

The program includes tons of functions and options, but its interface is easy to understand and navigate, with a professional layout and an intuitive command structure. If there’s a criticism that can be leveled, it’s that the program actually offers too many quality options, which can be overwhelming to some users.

Encrypt the presentation on save

You can easily encrypt a presentation, all encryption settings are found directly on the Kingsoft Presentation Save dialog. Do the following to start the encryption process:

1. Open Kingsoft Presentation.
2. Click File – Save As….
3. Click the Encrypt… button.

Set the presentation password

Presentation security is based on the presentation password. A strong password is hard to guess but easy to remember. To be safe, we recommend a minimum password length of 10 characters. Click the Advanced… button to select the Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP).

Choose the encryption type

A Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) is a set of algorithms used for encoding and decoding. The default CSP is Office Standard. This is a CSP with publicly known security issues. Documents that are secured with the weak Office XOR or Office Standard encryption type can be cracked easily. It is recommended to choose a provider with at least 128-bits in the key length. Starting with the Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0, the length is 128bits and should provide adequate security.
