Take advantage of even smaller PDF file sizes with the latest release of the Black Ice Software printer driver version 16.10. The PDF file size has been significantly reduced by as much as 50% with the latest Black Ice printer drivers.

The document types effected are: Microsoft Word documents where the file size is reduced by the average of 10 percent, Excel Documents are reduced 15%, The HTML documents are reduced by 30%, and the Adobe PDF documents are reduced by 15%. Printing Asian language documents from MS Word or Excel can be reduced as much as 50 percent.

A reduced PDF file size will improve the ability to transfer files, reduce the amount of space needed to store documents in the databases and allow for an overall easier document management process.
The file size reduction is the most visible with multi-page documents printed to PDF.

The reduced Compact PDF file format could be useful in emailing, database applications, and high volume document conversion environment, where file size is critical.

Additional feature added to Printer drivers include a conversion progress bar dialog indicator, when using the Save As window, for printing documents. The progress dialog indicator is useful when printing large documents, so users know when the conversion process is complete.
