Zetadocs PDF 2.0 Delivers PDF Business Document Production to All Network Users
New network-capable PDF software combines the strengths of PDF with the immediacy of email to save time and cut costs
London, UK: Equisys has launched version 2.0 of its critically acclaimed network-capable PDF software, Zetadocs PDF. Zetadocs transforms any business document into a single PDF file and emails it instantly to one or more recipients. It saves businesses time and money by creating and delivering professional-looking electronic documents
The new version of Zetadocs PDF builds on the strengths of the software as a network capable PDF solution. The new features include:
o A central archiving feature which gives all users fast access to previously sent documents
o Faxing and printing delivery options to allow easy integration with existing fax servers and network printers
o Integration with ACT! 2006 contact manager, which radically improves communications with ACT! contacts
o Support for Citrix / Terminal Services environments
o Versions in English, Spanish, German and Italian
PDF files are common in email inboxes and on company networks because they are used to produce product brochures, proposals, invoices and newsletters. However, only a fraction of people have access to a PDF creation tool such as Adobe® Acrobat®.
Because Zetadocs PDF is network-capable, it integrates with email systems, offering PDF creation to anyone on the network. It also addresses common problems associated with sending business documents by email in their native format. These include incompatible file formats that cannot be read by recipients, document security issues such as viruses and editable document formats and lack of message clarity and consistency when sending multiple attachments
Business documents created and sent using Zetadocs PDF can be made secure to prevent them from being edited, printed or opened without a password. In addition, its template-driven PDF production can automatically overlay business documents onto company stationery, or merge the appropriate attachments before delivering the document as a PDF by email.
"Zetadocs fills a gap in the market for network-capable PDF software" said Chris Oswald, CEO of Equisys. "The new version of Zetadocs provides benefits to the business as a whole, as well as to individual users, because it is has been developed to align with organizational goals.
"For businesses, this means PDF creation from desktop applications for every network user, as well as integration with line of business applications such as email systems, accounts packages and CRM systems".
"A recent survey by HP/Forrester, reported that 1-3% of business revenues are spent on company printing costs annually", continued Chris Oswald. "By using Zetadocs PDF to create and deliver PDF documents by email, document production costs can be virtually eliminated".
Zetadocs PDF can be deployed on all desktops from a central location, making deployment straightforward. Its "what you see is what you get" PDF creation user interface means that users have access to a rich and powerful feature set that requires a minimum level of training and support.
Zetadocs is sold through VARs and resellers and is available in 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and unlimited user denominations. The end user price for a 5 user system is £750 excluding VAT.
