PDF Server Client is a program that you use to initiate conversion jobs. Note that the server console must be activated in advance so that the client can find the server and connect to it. In addition to creating PDFs, you can also combine, overlay and package files.

Users may use their own custom conversion profile only when the Server Console allows it. On the console, go to the conversion settings to determine whether to let clients use their own, or set an unified profile for all.

The Client window

Using the file queue (A)

  • Add . Build up a list of files to convert. Choose to open files from a local computer or DMS server, or you can simply drag-and-drop files to the list.

  • Delete / Clear . Remove selected files from the list using the Delete button. Or delete all the files using the Clear button. The buttons affect only the file list; the removed files will not be removed from your computer.

  • Up / Down . Rearrange the file sequence using the Up and/or Down buttons. Files will be converted to PDF following the order.

  • Help . There are two options in the drop-down menu: Help File and Supported File Types. Select Help File to open a webpage that contains links to user manuals; select Supported File Types to show a list of files on your system that can be converted to PDF. See Supported File Types. If you do not have a program to print a file type, you cannot convert it. A general rule is if the file is printable, it can likely be converted.

Note: results may not be ideal when converting file types not listed as “supported”.

Conversion methods (B). Choose one conversion method in the selection box (See Conversion methods):

  • Convert one file to a PDF document. Create a separate PDF for each source document.

  • Combine files into one PDF document. Combine the files in the given order to create a single PDF file.

  • Overlay files into one PDF document. Overlay contents of two or more files.

  • Package files into one PDF document. Package multiple files into a PDF portfolio but keep each document separate.

Conversion profiles (C). Where you can edit conversion settings, including compatibility, font embed, compression, security, and watermark. See Conversion profiles.

Destination settings (D). Choose a save path for generated PDF files and decide how the program behaves when there are files with the same file name already existing. See Destination settings.

Always on Top. Make the PDF Client window always appear on top of other windows.

Connect. Set up an IP address to connect to upon startup.
