(PRWEB via MobilityNewswire) August 23,
2004 -- Smart Computing Magazine, a monthly magazine geared toward educating
computer users about new technologies and helping them become more productive
with PCs, published reviews of FinePrint Software’s FinePrint 5 and pdfFactory
software applications for Windows PCs in the August 2004 and September 2004
issues, respectively. In both reviews, the products were found to be very useful
and practical solutions for producing both printed and electronic output.
The August review of pdfFactory describes the need for a cost-effective
software that enables users to create PDFs.
"PDF is a technology that
enables content developers to publish their documents in a universally accepted
electronic format without compromising graphics, fonts, layout, and other design
elements. Because of PDF, users on any platform and with no other software than
a free copy of Adobe Reader can access content - including rebate forms, user
manuals, event entries, newsletters, and business reports - that virtually
anyone could create; or at least, anyone who could afford to create it. Until
recently, users had only one option for creating PDF files: Adobe
Acrobat."
Many people and businesses can’t afford to purchase copies of
Adobe Acrobat, which retails for $299. Several companies stepped up to offer
lower-cost alternatives and, according to Smart Computing Magazine, "FinePrint’s
pdfFactory is arguably the best."
"What (FinePrint) does (and does well)
is convert content from one or more apps into a compact, searchable PDF file you
can share with anyone who has Adobe Reader. Small businesses and self-employed
individuals will benefit from the opportunity to create low-cost PDF files for
Web and email distribution."
In the September review of FinePrint 5, the
reviewer made a case for the costs associated with printing, including paper and
ink or toner cartridge replacements. The solution they discovered is FinePrint,
which aims to reduce the costs associated with printer ownership.
"FinePrint 5.25 helps you conserve paper, ink or toner, time, and money
by providing an assortment of efficient printing functions. The keystone
function of FinePrint is its ability to print two, four, eight, or more pages of
content on an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper by dividing the sheet into halves,
quarters, eighths, or more equal parts."
"Beyond its ability to print
multiple pages to a single sheet of paper, FinePrint helps you save on printing
costs in other ways. For example, it gives you the option of removing
ink-wasting graphics and unwanted pages from the documents you choose to print.
It also lets you convert colored text to black so that you can save your costly
color inks for the times you need them most. As if that wasn’t enough, FinePrint
also supports double-sided printing on any printer... FinePrint makes printing
easier, faster, and better."
