Original Press Release:



Equisys Enhances Security of Business Documents with Zetadocs PDF 3



Highly acclaimed document production and delivery software automatically converts email attachments to secure PDF files for instant sending

Equisys, the developer of software for document production and delivery, will release the latest version of its network-capable PDF software, Zetadocs PDF 3, at Inbox/Outbox at London Excel, June 21-22.

Zetadocs PDF 3 can be used to merge any number of business documents into a single PDF file that can be emailed instantly to multiple recipients. One of the most useful new features of Zetadocs PDF 3 is the Outlook Add-in, which lets users create PDFs instantly and automatically 'on the fly' when sending Microsoft Office attachments directly from within Microsoft Office Outlook.

The Outlook Add-in allows multiple Office documents to be merged together. It can, for instance, convert Microsoft Word and Excel documents and merge them to the same PDF document.

Business documents that are created using Zetadocs PDF can be password-secured by default to prevent unauthorized editing, printing or opening by recipients. This gives the document originator control over the distribution and readership of the document, and added peace of mind, especially if the document contains sensitive, confidential, legal, commercial or personal information.

As well as offering secure email delivery, Zetadocs PDF 3 includes a new 'Scan-to-PDF' feature which lets users transform paper documents into PDF files through a scanning interface.

"With Zetadocs PDF 3, we can now offer businesses the ability to create, deliver and manage documents in one single interface," said Chris Oswald, CEO of Equisys. "What sets Zetadocs apart from other systems is its versatility - the fact that it allows users to build, send, store and retrieve their documents as PDFs using networked resources stored in a central location. The pre-defined templates can save businesses many hours of time by improving the whole way documents are managed".

Zetadocs can be integrated with other applications e.g. CRM / Accounts packages to automate the production of batches of business documents from these systems for sending by email and fax.

"The beauty of Zetadocs is that it is so versatile," continued Chris Oswald. "It can be used for anything from single document conversion to PDF to creating and merging complex, multi-part documents using standard or customized, centrally stored templates, then sending them instantly and automatically as PDFs by email or by fax to any number of recipients."

"From a cost perspective, just because of time saved, efficiencies gained and improvements to core business processes from customer service through to finance, sales and marketing, it will pay for itself in a matter of months or weeks."

Zetadocs PDF 3 feature and benefit summary.

Zetadocs PDF solves a range of everyday document production problems faced by businesses in the normal course of business. Its core value is in automating, speeding up and reducing the costs of document production and delivery.
