Configure Print2PDF to distribute preferences to clients

All integration options are available from the Print2PDF Configuration utility in the Print2PDF Program Group. To access these options, do the following:

1. Launch Print2PDF Configuration from the Print2PDF program group.
2. Make sure the Show the Print2PDF Save dialog option is enabled and Profile only is selected.
3. Change the preferences and Add/Modify/Delete the profiles as you see fit.
4. Enable the Distribute preferences to new clients for shared printer clients and the Distribute preferences to all users on this computer for Citrix and Terminal Service users.
5. Enable the Use share profiles placed in network folder option and define the Shared profile directory if you wish to sync profiles using a network folder.
6. Click OK to confirm all settings.

Once the above has been performed, a client user can either add the shared Print2PDF printer to the local workstation or use the Print2PDF printer in a multi-user environment. Do the following to see the simplified interface:

1. Print any document to the Print2PDF printer.
2. The Select Profile dialog will appear as follows:

Changing the preferences

Preferences can be changed at anytime. In a multi-user environment, changes will take effect immediately, but once the printer has been shared and added to a client, this requires another step. Any client with the Print2PDF printer currently installed will need to reinstall the printer. To do this, simply delete the printer from the client and re-add it from the server. If you are using a network folder to distribute profiles, this step will not be needed since the client will read the network share in real-time.

Citrix MetaFrame, Presentation Server, XenApp, and Terminal Services

Print2PDF is installed directly on a Windows Server with Citrix/Terminal Services. The Print2PDF printer can be used by connected clients as long as the user rights are set on the printer to allow access.

Shared Network Printer

Print2PDF is installed on a Windows computer and the printer is shared. A dedicated print server is not required since the Print2PDF printer is converted to a local printer after installation on a client. The printer can be installed on clients using the “Add a printer” dialog, or through a simple login script.

Prepare Client Distribution

Print2PDF is installed on a Windows computer and the prepare client utility is used to create a custom distribution for your organization. This is perfect for installation on computers not connected to the main Print2PDF installation. The client installation can be done from a USB flash drive or network share.

Watched Network Folder or POP3 Account

Setup watched folders and POP3 e-mail accounts to provide PDF conversion services to your entire organization. Convert an e-mail body, headers, and all attachments into one PDF for easy mail archiving. The resulting PDF can be saved to disk, or e-mailed back to the sending user.

Online Web Conversion

The web service can be installed on Microsoft Internet Information Services and access is provided to users through any standard web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox).

The Unlimited User license allows installation on every computer in your organization without any restrictions, as long as all computers are located at the same location or site. If your organization is not a single legal entity (e.g. individually owned franchises or an international conglomerate or company with owned subsidiaries) or it has multiple branches in different cities, you will need an Enterprise License.

Installation on Citrix or Terminal Services requires a user license for each user that will use the software. Kingsoft Office is licensed per user, NOT per connection. For example: If you have 60 users in your organization, but only 25 concurrent users, you will still need a 60 user license.
