Continuing with the successful and innovative line of 602Pro
products (PC Suite, Lan Suite), Software602, Inc. has released
the 602Pro
Print Pack. This software will let you save any printable
file in PDF format or send the file va email.
The software installs 2 new "printers" for you.
One is called Print2Mail and the other is Print2PDF. To
use the software, you just click to the File - Print menu,
and then rather than choosing your regular desktop printer,
you choose one of those 2 options.
I find this particularly useful when I want to save a web
page. The nature of the web is that it is very temporary.
A helpful web page that is there one day may not be there
the next month, the next week, or even the next day. You
can bookmark it and hope that it is still there. You can
see if Google.com has a cached copy of the page. And you
could also try and save the web page from the File menu.
None of these are as nice as the result of the Print Pack.
For example, I visited the Some
Useful Registry Tips page on the PCIN.net
site. This is a large page that contains over 30 different
registry tweaks (and constantly growing). I printed the
page to PDF format using the Print2PDF feature of the Print
Pack, and now there is a neat, simple, single PDF file that
I can view whenever I want and that I can share with whomever
I want. The file is larger (in kb) then the HTML file is
on its own, but I think this is a fair trade for the convenience.
The Print2Mail feature works the same way. This process
converts the document into a GIF file, and creates an HTML
page that contains the GIFs. An email message then opens
with those files (the GIFs and the HTML page) already attached
and you can send it to whomever you wish.
602Pro Print Pack
costs $19.95 to download (less than 3 MB). You can visit
the Software602 web site and download a 30-day trial of
the software. I'm sure that if you save a lot of web pages,
or if you share a lot of documents, then you'll find 602Pro
Print Pack well worth the cost.
