Consistent documents across every team and every site.
Replace the patchwork of PDF tools, custom scripts, and ad-hoc workflows with a single, centrally managed document infrastructure.
Consistent documents across every team and every site.
Replace the patchwork of PDF tools, custom scripts, and ad-hoc workflows with a single, centrally managed document infrastructure.
One document platform for all your sites
When every team chooses its own PDF tool and every site develops its own document workflow, the result is inconsistency, compliance risk, and increased costs. Avanquest gives IT and operations a single, centrally managed document platform: standardized templates, enforced naming conventions, consistent PDF/A archiving, and server-side PDF generation. Deployed and governed from the center, used everywhere.
What unified governance gives you
Central administration
Deploy and manage PDF tooling across all sites from a single admin console. No site-by-site configuration, no unmanaged installations, no shadow IT.
Enforced standards
Defined templates, naming conventions, PDF/A rules, and metadata requirements are applied automatically, not left to individual discretion or memory.
Scalability
PDFCreator TS and Server editions are built for large-scale deployment, from a shared Citrix environment to distributed plants with thousands of users.
Where governance breaks down
Inconsistent document quality
Uncontrolled tooling spend
Manual compliance risk
Some teams produce PDF/A-compliant, properly named, metadata-tagged documents. Others produce ad-hoc PDFs that fail audit checks. Central governance closes the gap.
Unmanaged PDF tool procurement adds up across departments. A single enterprise agreement covering server-side production and workstation editing replaces it all.
When archiving and compliance depend on individual users doing the right thing, they eventually do not. Automation removes dependency on human consistency.
Avanquest products for unified doc governance
PDFCreator Server
Infrastructure-grade, hands-off PDF production for server-side and automated workflows. Enforces templates, naming conventions, PDF/A conversion, and metadata rules centrally.
PDFCreator Terminal Server
For shared Citrix/RDS environments. Per-machine licensing with centrally managed profiles, covering all concurrent users from a single, governed installation.

Compliance and security
Central policy enforcement
Define archiving, naming, and template rules once and enforce them everywhere, automatically.
Admin-locked profiles
Prevent end-users from bypassing governance settings. IT defines what is available.
MSI/GPO/SCCM deployment
Standardized enterprise rollout across all sites with no per-machine manual configuration.
On-premise across all sites
No cloud dependency, meaning governance infrastructure stays on your own servers.
PDF/A conversion
Every document generated through the platform is archive-ready.
Retention rules
Set automated document formatting, naming, and retention profiles.
Frequently asked questions
Can one deployment cover multiple sites?
Yes. PDFCreator is designed for enterprise, multi-site rollouts with centralized administration and site-level profile management, supporting everything from a single facility to a global installed base.
What is the difference between PDFCreator Professional, Terminal Server, and Server?
Professional is the per-workstation edition for individual users. Terminal Server is for shared Citrix/RDS environments, licensed per machine. Server is for fully automated, infrastructure-grade PDF production at scale with no user interface required.
Can we lock down settings so users cannot change them?
Yes. PDFCreator supports admin-locked profiles. End-users see only the options and templates defined by IT, with no ability to deviate from the governance standard.
Can we enforce different standards for different document types?
Yes. Multiple profiles can be defined so invoices, HR records, and contracts each have their own naming convention, retention period, and metadata rules applied automatically.
