It installs as a printer in the Windows® or Macintosh® Printing System allowing users to 'print' to a PDF file directly from any application. In this mode Jaws PDF Creator looks to the user exactly like another printer driver where pre-defined PDF configurations can be selected.

It appears as an icon on the desktop allowing drag-and-drop conversion of any PostScript® or EPS file directly to PDF.
For Windows users, a toolbar icon installs in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, allowing any business user to easily create PDF files. The toolbar icons can also be used to retain document structures such as bookmarks and hyperlinks from the original document.

PDF optimization
Jaws PDF Creator ships with three pre-defined configurations which will optimize 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.

Documents protected
Business documents such as legal contracts or business proposals are often confidential and access needs to be restricted in certain ways. Access to all PDF files created by Jaws PDF Creator can be limited by giving the files passwords and restricting certain features, such as printing and editing. Jaws PDF Creator uses 128-bit encryption in the BSAFE® library from RSA Corporation to secure PDF files.

Simple deployment
With minimal cost and effort, customers joining the Corporate Licensing Program can deploy and update Jaws PDF Creator across a network using administrative network deployment tools. Organizations can pre-define their standard configuration settings and distribute the Jaws PDF Creator installer with their 'standardized' PDF setting across the whole organization.
