Save Ink, Save Paper & Save Time with FINEPRINT

-

Sometimes we only want to print some draft documents for viewing purpose, of course we can print them on draft papers.

Or, some expensive copier/printer drivers support printing of multiple pages on a single sheet:


2 pages on 1 A4/Letter paper


4 pages on 1 A4/Letter paper

We can also using FINEPRINT to achieve this. It's a "fake" (virtual) printer driver that basically sits between us and our real printer. We print everything to FINEPRINT (by choosing FINEPRINT as printer), and then we can change 1:1 print jobs to 2, 4 or 8 up layout. Then, we choose "actual" printer to print out the document.



This ROCKS. we can take 4 page-long meeting agendas and print them on one page to any printer. And FINEPRINT works with all printers.



Some of the FINEPRINT functions:

- Print multiple pages on a single sheet
- No more printing blank pages (by deleting any unwanted pages)
- Remove unwanted text and images
- Delete unwanted pages
- Print electronic letterhead
- Archive print jobs

Other features:
- Mark documents with watermarks - eg: "draft" or "confidential"
- Create custom electronic letterhead and forms
- Page numbering over multiple documents including Bates stamping
- Output pages to clipboard
- Save pages in JPEG, TIFF and text formats
- Highlight, delete and redact text
- Remove all or specific graphics

Create PDF documents on the fly — for Free!

-

We always need to convert some files (doc, xls, ppt, dwg etc) to PDF (portable document format) & send to other parties so that these files are not editable.



But we don't want to purchase costly Adobe Acrobat just for this small (but frequent) purpose, and it is troublesome using those free pdf conversion services on-line, isn't it?

Why not try this freeware:


CutePDF Writer is freeware - FREE for commercial and non-commercial use!

Most important is - No watermarks! No Popup Web Ads!

CutePDF Writer (formerly CutePDF Printer) is the free version of commercial PDF creation software. CutePDF Writer installs itself as a "printer subsystem". This enables virtually any Windows applications (must be able to print) to create professional quality PDF documents - with just a push of a button!
