Cool Printer Tips - Free Software to Print the File as a PDF Electronic File

 
Portable Document Format (PDF) is the de facto standard for the secure and reliable distribution and exchange of electronic documents and forms around the world.

There are too many electronic stuff needs to be printed out for various reasons. We print documents, emails, word writings, spreadsheets, images, search results, Screen Capture, and others on a daily basis.



It wastes a lot of paper and storage space. Sometimes, it’s not easy to find the paper or the paper is damaged when we need it.

Fortunately, instead of printing everything using papers, we can choose PDF converter (e.g. CutePDF Writer) as the selected printer and print it to a PDF file.

 
PDF electronic documents have countless advantages over traditional archiving formats (e.g. paper or microfilm). We can access it easily when we need it.

Some advantages of a PDF archive over a TIFF ( Tagged Image File Format - is a file format for storing images) or a paper-based archive are:
  1. Full-Text Search
  2. PDF stores objects (e.g. text, graphics), allowing for an efficient full-text search in an entire archive. TIFF is a raster format and must first be scanned with an OCR (optical character recognition) engine.

  3. File Size
  4. PDF files require only a fraction of the memory space of original or TIFF files, without loss of quality. The smaller file size is especially advantageous by electronic file transfers (FTP, e-mail attachment etc.)

  5. Optimization
  6. PDF/A format can be optimized. The optimization can be focused on images (e.g. scanned checks) or extracting structured data (e.g. voucher information). TIFF treats all file information the same.

  7. Metadata
  8. Metadata like title, author, creation date, modification date, subject, keywords, etc. can be stored in a PDF/A file. PDF/A files can be automatically classified based on the metadata, without requiring human intervention.
