PDF-XChange Printer Standard

PDF-XChange Printer Standard is a super handy tool that works like a virtual printer. It lets you preview your documents before printing. But that's not all! This software also converts files to PDF, merges documents, and fits right into your MS Office setup.

Features of PDF-XChange Printer

This app gives you tons of features to help manage your documents. You can convert files into PDFs, handle security settings, and merge different Word or Excel files into one PDF. It's pretty straightforward and user-friendly!

Supported File Types

The program handles various file types, including AutoCAD files, making them ready for printing. The conversion and printing engines support GDI and XPS file formats too. While it processes your print jobs, the tool works hard to keep the quality high and optimize file sizes.

Understanding GDI and XPS

If you're wondering about GDI (Graphics Device Interface) and XPS (Open XML Paper Specification), these are both Windows-specific formats that help with printing. With PDF-XChange Printer Standard, you won't need to convert GDI or XPS files to PDF before printing—they work together seamlessly.

Integration with MS Office

This printer integrates smoothly with MS Office, which adds extra convenience to your workflow. You can use new commands directly from applications like Word or Excel for quick document conversions.

Customizing Your Print Settings

You can even tweak paper settings while printing! Adjust compression rates, resolution, scaling options by entering custom parameters, plus add watermarks if you want—it's all in there!

Security Features of Your PDFs

Managing security for your PDFs is easy too. You can set up password protection and choose how strong you want your encryption to be—from 40-bit RC 4 (compatible with Acrobat 3.0) all the way up to 256-bit AES R6 (compatible with Acrobat 10 and above). You can also digitally sign your documents for added security.
