How to work with PDF4me Desktop App?

Using Normal User or Consumer mode - Grid

PDF4me has Grid interface where you can simply drag and drop documents from your local machine and process them using the actions you have added to the Top Action bar. For example:

  • Drag and drop MS office documents like .docx, .pptx or .xlsx to the grid.

  • Select the document using the mouse.

  • Simply select and action from the Top action bar, say, ConvertToPdf

Your MS Office document has been converted to PDF in seconds. We support a large number of formats for conversions and various other Actions based on the document formats. Please refer documentation{target=_blank}{rel=“noopener”} for more details.

You can also find the values for the parameters and configurations for customizing each Actions by referring to the Base Feature’s documentation here{target=_blank}{rel=“noopener”}. You can configure the Actions in Top bar by selecting the arrow head on the right of each action.

Using Server Processing mode - Job Flows

You can create and configure a Job Flow from the Settings Menu as we discussed in the Interfaces section. Let’s create sample Job Flow and Job Plan to see how we can automate a ConvertToPdf and Stamp job.

  • Go to Job Config in the Settings menu

  • In the Job Flows section, use the New button to add new Job Flow

  • Add any name of your choice

  • Using Add button add ConvertToPdf and Stamp actions.

Now switch to the Job Plan Tab

  • Select the required Job Flow

  • Select a folder as Source – For adding documents for Conversion

  • Select folder for Output files as Target, save.

  • Enable the Job plan by turning ON the switch on right side of Machines field. Done!

Now whenever you drop or add file to the source folder, PDF4me will automatically pick it, process and save it to the Target folder. For example, if you add a .docx, .pptx and .xlsx file to the source folder, PDF4me will convert them to PDF and then stamp the text configured on the pages of the PDF document.

Direct Processing from File Explorer

Or you can directly process documents from your machine by right clicking on the documents in any folder. PDF4me will automatically detect the document format show available options for the particular format.

Suppose there are Microsoft word documents in your Desktop. If you have already installed PDF4me app, just right click on the .docx file. You will get options to Convert or Optimize the document as a PDF.
