YAFPC-Appliance is a Network PDF Server running on a Linux Life System. Any PC can act as a PDF-Printserver which provides an unlimited number of network shared virtual PDF-Printers. No operating system or other software installation is required. While the system requirements are low, any older PC can be used.

System configuration can be done via a Web browser from any workstation in Your network.
