What is it? The PDF Server YAFPC-Appliance is a browser based management frontend for the PDF-Composer/Printer/Mailer YAFPC. It's coming aggregated with the General-Purpose Appliance System GPAS on a bootable CD in combination with an easy to use installation script. Once automatically installed, any PC booted from this image can act as a PDF-Printserver which provides an unlimited number of network shared virtual PDF-Printers. The system requirements are low, any older PC can be used. System configuration can be done via a Web browser from any workstation in Your network. Virtual shared PDF Printers can be configured to apply letterheads, watermarks, cover pages and appendixes to all printed documents. After printing a document is sent to its owner by mail, can be accessed in a shared folder on the PDF Server or can be stored to a shared network folder on some other machine. Deployment is very simple:

Download the image -- burn it -- run the installation -- configure the PDF Printers -- and print.

What are the system requirements? Requirements are low: A PC with a Pentium 500 MHz, 256MB RAM and a 1GB Harddrive, a bootable CD-ROM drive and a network interface can act as a YAFPC-Appliance PDF Server in a network with hundreds of users to print and mail their PDF Documents. So any PC out of Your "heap of scrap" will do it. Or use VMware or VirtualBox to deploy it as a virtual machine.

What are the key benefits?

• Easy installation: The CD-ROM contains a complete Operating System that can be booted on every PC. Automatic hardware recognition and automatic installation of all required software components are done without any user interaction.
• No client installation required: Each time a client accesses a Network Shared PDF Printer on the YAFPC-Appliance PDF Server the first time, the required printer driver is installed automatically to the clients workstation.
• No user account management required: Each time a user accesses a Network Shared PDF Printer on the YAFPC-Appliance PDF Server the first time, a user account is created "on the fly" and a network shared "home folder" is provided to this user. The user can access this folder to obtain her/his printed PDF Documents. Also an email account is created "on the fly". The PDF document is additionally sent to this email account.
• Unlimited number of network shared PDF Printers: The YAFPC-Appliance administrator can create an unlimited number of Network Shared PDF Printers via the easy to use Browser Interface for Administration. Each PDF Printer can be configured to apply page numbers, special letterheads, watermarks, cover pages and appendixes to each printed document and encrypt the document for protection against manipulations.
• Unlimited number of different letterheads, watermarks, cover pages and appendixes: The YAFPC-Appliance administrator can upload multiple files to the YAFPC-Appliance PDF Server to be assigned to each PDF Printer for composing documents.
• Easy creation of email aliases: For printed documents to be sent to the printing user, the user's email address is automatically created "on the fly" from her/his username and the given domain name. In case the usernames don't match their email addresses in a network, the YAFPC-Appliance administrator can create an email alias for each user. Aliases are of the form "alice: a.smith@foo.bar". In Active Directory or LDAP enviroments email addresses can be resolved by querying the domain controller or the LDAP server.
• Low system requirements: A PC with a Pentium 500 MHz, 256MB RAM and a 1GB Harddrive, a bootable CD-ROM drive and a network interface can act as a YAFPC-Appliance PDF Server in a network with hundreds of users to print and mail their documents. So any PC out of Your "heap of scrap" will do it. It can also be deployed as virtual machine.
