Equisys Releases Zetadocs PDF 3

Equisys will release the latest version of its network-capable PDF software, Zetadocs PDF 3, at Inbox/Outbox at London Excel, June 21-22. Zetadocs PDF 3 can be used to merge any number of business documents into a single PDF file that can be emailed instantly to multiple recipients. One of the most useful new features of Zetadocs PDF 3 is the Outlook Add-in, which lets users create PDFs instantly and automatically ‘on the fly’ when sending Microsoft Office attachments directly from within Microsoft Office Outlook.

The Outlook Add-in allows multiple Office documents to be merged together. It can, for instance, convert Microsoft Word and Excel documents and merge them to the same PDF document.

Business documents that are created using Zetadocs PDF can be password-secured by default to prevent unauthorized editing, printing or opening by recipients. This gives the document originator control over the distribution and readership of the document, and added peace of mind, especially if the document contains sensitive, confidential, legal, commercial or personal information.

As well as offering secure email delivery, Zetadocs PDF 3 includes a new ‘Scan-to-PDF’ feature which lets users transform paper documents into PDF files through a scanning interface.

Zetadocs can be integrated with other applications e.g. CRM / Accounts packages to automate the production of batches of business documents from these systems for sending by email and fax.
