Global Graphics, a developer of e-document and printing software, has announced the launch of free PDF creation software, gDoc Creator. The PDF software will be available for download under a corporate licensing scheme for the enterprise.
Global Graphics says that it is fighting for a place on the corporate desktop alongside Adobe, Google and Microsoft by providing an enterprise-level productivity application that enables the creation of PDF, PDF/a (for long-term archiving of electronic documents) or XPS documents from any Windows application that prints, the creation of PDF, PDF/a or XPS from the toolbar in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, complete with bookmarks, hypertext links and more and the creation of PDF, PDF/a or XPS from a simple drag and drop user interface.
The conversion of PDF to document format for re-use in Microsoft Word and the viewing of documents in multiple formats and a unique flick view to quickly browse documents is also possible with the software.
gDoc Creator is part of what the makers call its 'freemium' strategy for gDoc Fusion. The package gives users a drag and drop action from a wide range of multiple document formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, XPS, JPG, TIFF and PNG. It is designed to improve knowledge workers' productivity by automatically formatting a wide range of file formats, saving hours of manual cut and paste activity.
"gDoc allows evaluation use of gDoc Fusion, demonstrating the ease of use and benefits of the full version. It is a very simple process to then upgrade to the full version of" says Gary Fry, CEO of Global Graphics.
"Businesses should no longer need to pay for simple PDF creation and we hope our disruptive pricing strategy will begin to redraw the lines of this market," adds Fry.
