How can I increase the speed of PDF files printing?
By default, Print Conductor uses the internal PDF printing engine. In this case it partially rasterizes (converts to image files) each page of your PDF document before printing it.
This solution allows flawless printing of any PDF documents with custom fonts, layouts and illustrations, but it significantly increases the time spent on actual printing, especially if the documents are sent to the network printer.
PDF printing speed may be dramatically increased if apart from Print Conductor such programs as Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Acrobat Standard are also installed on your computer. In this case Print Conductor will use Adobe Acrobat public API to print PDF files in vector mode, and the printing process will take much less time.
Unfortunately, free version of Adobe Reader doesn't have reliable API and cannot be used to automate printing.
You can try Print Conductor together with a 30 day trial version of Adobe Acrobat to evaluate its effectiveness. You can download it from:

To use Print Conductor PDF processing engine even on computer with installed Adobe Acrobat Pro or Standard, please:
