Jaws System's PDF Creator's sole purpose is to offer simple, efficient and cost effective PDF creation. PDF files produced by the Jaws PDF Creator are fully compliant with the PDF 1.3 specification published by Adobe. PDF was originally developed to allow users to create format-rich documents that are application and platform independent. Jaws PDF Creator ships with three pre-defined configurations which will optimise the PDF file for high resolution production printing, printing to desktop devices or publishing on the web.
Users can also define and save custom output configurations.
If you use Word 97 or Word 2000 under Windows, a Word macro is automatically installed that allows you to create PDF files. The 'Settings' sub-menu determines the elements of the Word document that will be converted, and also their appearance in the PDF file. With the rapid growth of corporate intranets and electronic document management systems many corporations are now standardising on PDF for their internal document standard. PDF is ideal for simple document exchange, the creation of document databases and efficient document archival. The biggest problem facing the publishing industry is not just the complexity of using Postscript, but also its lack of predictability and reliability.
