4D PDF Printer Plugin Version 6.0.7 - nov 24. 2020

Unlike many other plugin developers, is developing 4D plugins not our primary business model. We develop the 4D plugins (since 2003) in order to use in our vertical market software.
This ensures that the plugins are continually developed, tested and maintained.

The 4D integrated connection to PDFCreator, characterized by many incompatibilities with newer versions and Windows 10.
Only our plugin supports all current 4D versions and offers much more possibilities to control the PDF results individually.
