Customization
The default settings for PDF-XChange Printer Standard are suitable for many users, but administrators may wish to define/enforce specific settings. There are three different methods for doing this, and the best method to use depends on how your users intend to use the printer.
Profiles
Profiles offer a way to save custom settings as a collection of settings that can be accessed from the PDF-XChange Printer Standard printer properties. Please note:
•It is possible to have multiple profiles for a single PDF-XChange printer.
•Users can manage their own profiles, as well as create, save, import and export them from within the printer preferences UI.
•Administrators can deploy, lock and set profiles as default.
Multiple Printers
Multiple printers offer a way to define printer settings that users can access by simply selecting the appropriate printer. Please note:
•Users do not need to access the printer preferences before printing in order to select the version of the printer that they want to use.
•This method enables printing directly to the printer without user interaction.
PDFSaver /SetOptions
This option should be used in cases where it is desirable to push certain settings to an entire groups of users, as opposed to allowing users to select their own settings. Please note:
•This option is designed for pushing simple or small changes.
•This option can be applied to specific printers or profiles
•This option can be used to apply specific settings while leaving all other printer settings untouched (as opposed to applying a profile that defines values for all printer settings for multiple printers). For example, it is possible to push a setting that embeds all fonts without impacting any other options users may have set themselves.
•This option employs text-based configuration, which makes it easier for administrators to see and understand the operations that take place.
