Roger Creighton, PC Primer - If you need to compress a document into a manageable size then use FinePrint to print two, four or eight pages of information onto one piece of standard paper. This is really great for the nine page newsletter I receive weekly. I can now reduce the bulk and still have a readable document. This is cool!

The program has so many features that it is difficult to pass on all the good stuff. There is a print preview, an ink saver that allows you to skip over the printing of graphics if you choose, forms and letter heads, combine print jobs, Paper scaling and on and on. Full review

I have used a lot of demos and shareware in my day, but until today I have never (and I mean NEVER) been moved to make such a quick purchase. Almost immediately I was blown away by the ease of use and the intuitive - yet powerful - functionality of both your FinePrint and pdfFactory products. Within fifteen minutes of using FinePrint, I knew I wanted it and that I needn't look any further.

Antonio Rodriguez - I just wanted to tell all of you how impressed I am with this product! I initially bought Fineprint for its booklet capability, and it has delivered reliably in that function. I’ve found a lot of the other features to be a real boon as well:

Setting as default printer. I no longer hit the “Print this document” button with hesitation, because I know I can always double check the layout in FP, discard the whole job altogether, or save it for printing at a later time.

8-up. This is great for printing out reference manuals. With our duplex printer, I can print out a 112 page manual with 7 sheets of paper.

2-up, no borders, no margins. I use this for printing out SQL Server database diagrams. It combines the 2 portrait pages side by side on a single-page landscape oriented diagram with no break. 4-up works ok, too, but SQL Server breaks up the diagram with page numbering. If I may make a feature request regarding this: How about allowing drag and drop reordering of pages? It allows the user to reconstruct multi-page printouts manually.

There’s probably more but that’s all I have time to share at this moment. Thanks for the quality product.

Chris R. - I cannot tell you how long I have searched for a product that offers me the capabilities to intercept print output and perform any sort of post processing on it. Moreover, I also desired so many countless times to have an easy way to direct print output to an image file. As a developer, I have even entertained the notion of writing something myself but just never has had the time. But after I happened upon FinePrint today, I soon discovered a product bursting with more capabilities than I could ever have asked for.

And that's just FinePrint! After finding FinePrint, I gave pdfFactory a test run as well and again fell head over heals. In the case of pdfFactory, you have made a solution that surpasses that of Adobe itself. Just last year I worked on a project that needed to print reports out to a PDF file. The solution that Adobe provided involved their PDF Distiller and its SDK and proved to be horribly error prone and clunky when run in a high volume automated reporting process. Had I known of pdfFactory then, I can only image the things I could have done!

Now, I am not the sort to spend his valuable time sending many emails, but I was truly so very impressed with your fine products that I was compelled to send you a quick note of praise. Though there is just so much moderately useful junk software out there, it makes me glad to once in a while find something that is so well conceived and constructed as the products that you have created.

Zaine R. - Just wanted to write and thank you for offering the sale price for both FinePrint and pdfFactory Pro. I purchased both today and could not be happier. The regular prices were just out of my price range, but I'm truly impressed with how solid both apps are, and with their very well-though-out user interface. You have implemented some brilliant ideas in both FinePrint and pdf Factory Pro. I appreciate that they're both integrated with one another to a large extent.

We all know the benefits of PDF, and FinePrint has taken that several steps further than Adobe with pdfFactory Pro. I'm in academia and make frequent speeches and presentations before groups, and FinePrint saves me money by not having to print so much, but when I do, its layout is attractive, readable, and able to be copied.

PS: It's truly great you keep an open line to your users' wishes and share your environmental concern with donations from profits. That's a nice touch and sets a good example to save as many trees as possible.

Ed P. - I originally was just interested in pdfFactory for some of my web design projects, but got Fine Print as part of a special bundle promotion you were running at the time. I am glad I did!

Up until last week I used FinePrint for spooling and printing software documentation and programming articles. Last week, thanks to our copy machine breaking down (again!) I was forced into a tight spot and had to get really creative really fast!

That's where FinePrint came into play.

I print price tags to match our advertisements and use one program to print the graphic and a separate program to print the pricing. Thanks to FinePrint's Form function I am able to set the graphic as a form, then send the pricing info from my product database and print my tags in one easy step. In a nutshell FinePrint has made a previously tedious job faster, easier, and more cost effective for our company!

Isabelle F. - I was so impressed by FinePrint I must tell you! I am unsuccessfully looking for such a software since I began working in 1995. I can finally print previews of promotional stuff and double-sided copies on my cheap desktop inkjet printer.

One of my customers was also finally able to fax quotations using Winfax to their customers directly from their Unix-based accounting software. Let me explain : their PC run Windows and we connect to the Unix server by a terminal emulator. We installed FinePrint on the salesman computer and shared the FinePrint "printer". Then we printed from the Unix-based software on the FinePrint "printer". We added a form using FinePrint (to replace the paper form), and choose Winfax "printer". Works just fine. That's it!!! The Unix-based software publisher had asked 2000$ to our customer to develop this... They're so happy. And I explained they could even e-mail quotations if they get PDF factory. I will certainly recommend your products to all my customers & friends.

Ron B. - I have been a FinePrint user for many years now. I don't even remember when or how I first found out about this great print utility but it is one of the best software programs I have found. Having written and supported PC based programs myself, I am aware of the difficulties in keeping PC software current with regards to Windows versions and system devices. I have used FinePrint through the years as I have moved up from Windows 98 through Windows ME all the way to Windows XP and have NEVER had a failure with FinePrint. It works with every printer I've every had and every application I have ever used - it certainly enhances the value of my other software investments. Even today I find new and innovate uses for the superb features it provides such as the Form Factory and Stationary function. It does so much more than simply save me paper and ink, although the value of that alone is worth it's unbelievable low cost.

Jens B. - Sometimes you want to have graphics out of a word, pdf, or other document, which have no export for embedded Data-Graphics. It is very easy to solve that Problem with FinePrint. Just print into FinePrint and use "Copy Sheet to Clipboard". Every graphics program lets you save the clipboard and the quality is much better than a screenshot.

Conway M. - Thank your for your fine product. I have been using Fineprint on Windows NT for a couple of years with great satisfaction. I would like to tell you of an interesting and vital use I have for finePrint. We have Vision 2002 installed on our machines but are unable to properly print them to our Xerox network printers directly. So I just print using FinePrint and it works perfectly. This is a great workaround for a problem which our IT folks have not been able to solve. You guys must be doing some right!!

Ulrich S. - Gentlemen, not given to easy praise, I was flabbergasted when using your product today. As a matter of fact, I have only tested the booklet feature and I must say that your product handles this in an extraordinary way. Not only did it correctly set-up all the pages but it also fixed a 'bug' on my HP DeskJet 2000 printer, not printing grey-scales properly. Now, not only do I NOT need to purchase a reverse printing device (I have one but did not use it for this test and I will and keep it regardless) but in addition, I no longer need to concern myself with the mechanics of fitting my printed pages to scale. I always wondered, why MS did not provide a driver such as yours. My initial investment in your product is going to be well worthwhile as I am making part of my living as a technical writer. Once again, congratulations for your outstanding product.

John A - You folks are great! I have been using FinePrint for quite a few years now, and just couldn't get along without it. I'm a programmer in a large university, and when I'm not making 2-up or 4-up archives of software documentation, I'm doing web searches prior to purchasing an item. I use FinePrint to print a manufacturer's product web page (tossing the extraneous "junk" pages), do a 2-up with the invoice page, then print it to either show to my boss for an OK, or as future documentation as to what the item was and where it was bought.

Have you come across web pages that don't allow printing? I have, but I use a freeware screen-print utility like "Printkey 2000" to grab the screen, send it to FinePrint, then do 2-up landscape (it's automatic), and it looks great!

FinePrint also saved the day when we had reports for a multi-million dollar grant that needed special printing. We thought we were done, then we find the pages needed to be on special forms! Twice through the printer for every page?? Nope. As the Word form already existed, I followed the oh-so-easy instructions to make a FormFactory template and in under a minute we were printing regular reports on the special form!! Absolutely amazing.

Being able to change the duplex feature of a printer (so the 2nd page is flipped or not) is really great, as is the ability to print duplex on a NON-duplex printer! Wow!

When I go to someone else's computer that doesn't have FinePrint, aside from feeling deprived of a great utility, I find I have to be very careful what I print...because everything goes directly to the printer, rather than allowing me to review it and cull the unnecessary pages.

Cameron F - As an MCSE, you would not believe how much crap I have to print out (300 page user manuals from PDF files for software installations, TechNet whitepapers and suchlike) and your product has reduced my printing costs by 75%. Not only is it the cost, but the manageability of the finished product - try carrying around a few 600 page documents... let alone stapling the devils!! Also, I usually fax clients their invoice, but the pdfFactory has solved the issue of invoicing to clients who do not have a fax... I can email them the invoice.

I trust you have won some awards for these innovative products which have produced such tangible benefits to me on a daily basis, more so than any other utility or "time saver" that I have downloaded or purchased in the past 18 years. Well done.

Jay H. - It's rare that I come across a shareware program worthy of paying for. Among those, Fineprint is one of the sturdiest and most useful. It saves space, time, money and trees. It does what it is supposed to do superbly and no more. It is the antithesis of bloatware and it actually gives me a little thrill every time I use it. This is what software is all about!

I use it to print out information that I want a hardcopy of for permanent storage. By printing 4 pages per page, my information is still legible and yet takes up on quarter the space! It's cheaper, too. I also use it as print previewer and formatting tool and I use the booklet feature to create neat little informational pamphlets and handouts!

Thought you deserved to know that your product has made an impression on me. Keep up the good work!

Guatam P. - I buy a lot of software off the net, and I've had a variety of experience ranging from the horrendous (spending upwards of $60 on software that doesn't work, from a vendor who won't respond) and my experience with FinePrint is unlike any other. The software is absolutely stunning. It installs correctly straight off, doesn't wreck other settings, the interface is extremely intuitive -- and the support is exceptional. I also cannot begin to describe the reactions when I get into a meeting and pass around my fineprinted booklets of documents -- and you can imagine now long legal documents can get. The reactions are, uniformly, of amazement: "Guatam is writing a book on this contract is he?" BTW, I do legal work for environmental activists and they're doing handstands in joy at finding something that saves paper for them.

What do I really like? The ability to save my print jobs for later. Online purchase receipts, browsed pages, emails, whatever, I collect it, save it, reorder it, add blank pages, removed those silly browser pages with just the footer or a single line on a continuation page, the ones that take up up a whole sheet -- that was such a pain, though now it's history, of course -- and move on. Take this example: I buy software. I get an online confirmation and a receipt. Print, save, defer. Check mail. Email receipt comes in. Save file, print file, defer, save print job. Unlock code comes in. Save file, save code (I use Clipmate to house my codes), print file, save print job, print job in booklet -- and on one single sheet, printed duplex or in booklet, I've got the browser receipt, the email receipt and the email with the unlock code. What more can one ask for?

As you've guessed, I don't just use the autosave feature (set to 10megs!) but save all my print jobs. Someone wants another copy, no problem, I don't have to hunt for the document again, check I've got the right revision and bite my fingernails wondering what will happen. The save jobs feature is a real beaut, and it's one that isn't highlighted sufficiently on the FP website, though mentioned. It's an invaluable tool to finding documents. I keep the saved files in a separate folder and name each print job distinctively. I then know at a shot what's ready for printing and what's not and it's the easiest way to track ready-to-print files on the hard disk especially if, like me, you keep multiple copies of documents as they go through various revisions. My latest devotee is, of all people, my accountant -- I sent him upwards of 200 pages of figures, all in booklet, neatly bound with a nice cover sheet out of Word (bound with my weird-but-effective soap-stapling method!) and he called in ten minutes, saying he'd never ever received anything this convenient or presentable. All thanks to you!

Very, very sincerely -- thank you for an outstanding piece of work. More glory to you. FinePrint rules, ok?

David U. - There's a lot of junk on the web. But every once in a while you find something that installs the FIRST time, works right the FIRST time, the purchase goes right, upgrades happen, and the product sort of fades into the background, like a keyboard or a text editor. I go to the web site and my one and only question is answered with about 2 mouse clicks. No searching or wading thru pages of junk.

You guys are doing a great, great job. I'm a contract programmer and I hope that my clients think I'm 10% as professional as you guys appear to be. You make it look so natural and easy.

I wish you the best of everything. You've taken small but important problem, one that can soak up hours and ruin days, and smashed the hell out of it.

Bradley K. - We are a homeschool family who use a curriculum that involves printing on a high quality duplex printer thousands of pages. We print out our own books for educational reading and the FinePrint 'booklet' option is a huge solution to printing pages with wide margins. You have let me master the margins! FinePrint is definitely the best piece of software we use -that is, the most intuitive and easy to use. The many options you have made available are great. We like to put a watermark "Knepp Family Homeschool" on our pages, so folks who might borrow our books will actually return them! Thank you for a great product with which we have not had one difficulty! And thank you for the discount for schools, even a simple homeschool!

Brent C. Wilson - I have been using FinePrint for over 2 years now and I really love it. Let me congratulate you on FinePrint. It has driven a wedge between printer drivers and this software.

I just created a training document using a word processor, our mainframe system and FinePrint in about 1 hr. The fact that I can copy the printout to the clipboard as a graphic is amazing.

Before I would have to: (1) copy the text from our mainframe system (running in an emulator) to the windows clipboard (2) paste it into something like Photoshop, and hope the formatting stays (something that in certain cases can be come quite infrequent), (3) export it to disk as a bitmap or equivalent (4) import it into my Word processor as such. (File-Import-Choose Directory-Click OK) (5) Then months later, when I run out of disk space, look through all these directories and get rid of all the old bitmaps, etc.

With FinePrint I simply: (1) click on the print icon in our terminal emulator (2) right click on copy to clipboard as monochrome bitmap (3) Paste it into the word processor (Ctrl-V) ** No more files to clean up, no more formatting problems....and quick !! Also The gutter feature is great, now my documentation is easier to read when I print it. Thanks Muchly

Dan P. - It's Friday night and I'm browsing the web, gathering info on products from manufacturer's sites, grabbing pieces of manuals, and stripping out portions of reviews......and, of course, 'deferring' the printing so FinePrint can dump 'em all at once, two pages up. I just thought I would take a moment and let you know how much I appreciate the work you did on this program...saves me time, money, and grief (especially by cutting down on the paper given over to extraneous ads off the web).

Dave M. - FinePrint is (literally) worth it's weight in gold. I teach e-Commerce classes on IBM's Websphere Commerce Suite product and, in addition to many US gigs, I've been over to the Pacific Rim for classes. I have to carry a lot of docs with me and your program allows me to carry a whole lotta paper in a minimal amount of space and poundage.

I STRONGLY recommend FinePrint to all my students and include your home page link in a resources file I send to each of my students.
