PDF Server YAFPC-Appliance Forum

Hi Wolfgang, since running with YAFPC 5.03 (With the new features -thanks!) We have converted our business process from buying pre printed letterhead to letting YAFPC do the letterhead printing entirely.

The process works as such:

YAFPC is set up with one PDF printer per deparment. Plus a couple more for 'odd jobs'.

User prints to PDF printer using macros in word. PDF printer then saves document to network share.

My code watches network share for creation of documents and then prints that to a physical printer (which one depends on which pdf printer was used), backs up document in network share to another location and deletes from network share.

Not only has this massively reduced our costs on buying pre printed letterhead but also gives us control of whats on our letterhead and when. Usually this was a process of talking to suppliers, signing off proofs etc. We also have the added advantage of being able to change our letterheads on the fly, adding advertisements or extended opening times for our business.

We have been running 5.03 for a good while now. I'm very happy to say that we have had no problems, no reboots etc. It is exceptionaly reliable and very easy to install, configure and use.

We have on average about 1500 documents put through it everyday and have not had a single problem with it.

For our organisation it truly is bullet proof.

Many Thanks for such a device, I am looking forward to future versions (although I can think what could be done better!).

Best Regards

Sorry that last line should have read 'I can't think what can be done better'.

Also I neglected to mention that we have this running on a HP desktop class machine 512mb RAM, pentium dual core with a hard drive install.

Many Thanks
