Our happy users
At RecordQuest, we use Bullzip at one of our large clients in a print server environment. We have over one hundred virtual printers installed on the server and configured individually for each user. No other PDF printer we have tried has as many options and is as easy to configure as Bullzip. One of the features I like most is that the configuration happens through simple text files. This makes it extremely easy to control in an environment with many users or where you want to script the setup. When we had questions about options or ran into issues, Bullzip's support not only responded quickly but was extremely knowledgeable. We rarely run into issues though. It works as intended and is very reliable. We couldn't be happier to have discovered this flexible and well-performing software. The value we're getting from Bullzip greatly exceeds the cost. I wholeheartedly recommend Bullzip for your enterprise PDF printing needs.
I have to do a plethora of conversions over the next month or two - around 300 documents, several pages each, using Bullzip as an incredible time-saving tool. Otherwise I would have to print hundreds of pages out and scan them in to make a PDF file, and then rename each file, and move it to a specific location by client name. I can't overly emphasize my gratitude for such a useful utility.
