Most documents are stored on computers because of higher security measures and easier manipulation. Depending on classification, these can be found under various formats and protection settings. When it comes to PDF files, applications like pdfFactory Pro Server Edition give you the possibility to analyze, edit and print them out.

At its core, the application is only accessible when triggering a print job, being mostly a virtual printer with several tweaking options. Unfortunately, there is no other main window to work with, nor the possibility to simply open PDF documents and handle them without using an external application.

There is a preview section included in the application, which also serves as an editing space. Tools you get to work with aren't abundant and only allow for minor adjustments. Amongst others, you can choose to encrypt the currently loaded file, embed all fonts, set it to grayscale or even adjust lighting.

Updates are displayed in real-time, allowing you to get a clearer view, along with options for movement and zooming. If the application is used locally, an abundance of technical configurations are available.

For instance, security can be enhanced by having the document encrypted, or even have a password set. What's more, you can manage read/write permissions, convert links, set up page tags and even handle bookmarks. Several preset notes can be placed onto pages by simply dragging them over the workspace.

Editing options let you configure font size and type, as well as object properties. Custom notes can also be created by taking a snaphot of an area of interest which you can later on include in any document. One feature that's missing though, is the ability to create watermarks, which would have greatly come in handy.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that pdfFactory Pro Server Edition is a practical utility to keep around if your day-to-day activities imply handling PDF documents. It leaves a little something to be desired overall, with several features feeling shallow, but for simple tasks it gets the job properly done.
