YAFPC-Appliance is a CD-ROM image based on KNOPPIX technology and the PDF composer/printer/mailer YAFPC.
Any PC booted from this CD can act as a PDF print server and provide an unlimited number of network shared virtual PDF printers. The system requirements are low. System configuration can be done via a Web browser from any workstation in your network.
Virtual shared printers can be configured to apply letterheads, watermarks, and appendices to all printed documents. After printing, a document is sent to its owner by email, or can be accessed in a shared folder on the server. Deployment is very simple.
Main features:
- No installation required: The YAFPC-Appliance CD-ROM contains a complete Operating System that can be booted on every PC. Automatic hardware recognition and automatic installation of all required software components are done without any user interaction.
- No client installation required: Each time a client accesses a network shared printer from the YAFPC-Appliance PDF Server the first time, the required printer driver is installed automatically to the clients workstation.
- No user account management required: Each time a user accesses a network shared printer from the YAFPC-Appliance PDF Server the first time, a user account is created "on the fly" and a network shared "home folder" is provided to this user. The user can access this folder to obtain her/his printed PDF documents. Also an email account is created "on the fly". The PDF document is additionally sent to this email account.
- Unlimited number of network shared PDF Printers: The YAFPC-Appliance administrator can create an unlimited number of network shared PDF Printers via the easy to use Browser Interface for Administration. Each PDF Printer can be configured to apply page numbers, special letterheads, watermarks and appendixes to each printed document and encrypt the document for protection against manipulations.
- Unlimited number of different letterheads, watermarks and appendixes: The YAFPC-Appliance administrator can upload multiple files to the YAFPC-Appliance PDF Server to be assigned to each PDF Printer for composing documents.
- Easy creation of email aliases: For printed documents to be sent to the printing user, the users email address is automatically created "on the fly" from her/his username and the given domain name. In case the usernames dont match their email addresses in a network, the YAFPC-Appliance administrator can create an email alias for each user. Aliases are of the form "alice: a.smith@foo.bar".
- Low system requirements: A PC with a Pentium 500 MHz, 256MB RAM and a 1GB Harddrive, a bootable CD-ROM drive and a network interface can act as a YAFPC-Appliance PDF Server in a network with hundreds of users to print and mail their documents. So any PC out of Your "heap of scrap" will do it.

downCast converts XML documents valid according to the upCast DTD (and, in fact, any XML document whose DTD can be mapped into the upCast DTD) linked with an external stylesheet to Word and Rich Text Format (RTF) for editing and printing.
Combine it with upCast, and you have a combo that offers a unique, streamlined, roundtrip-capable and integrated XML editing and publishing solution based - among others - on the open standards XML, XLink, XSLT and CSS2.
The conversion process downCast implements tries to use the structuring RTF constructs wherever possible like native tables, character and paragraph styles derived automatically from the stylesheet, native lists, headers, footers, textboxes, footnotes or annotations.
This makes the result very different from a PDF document that places objects at specific positions on a canvas and is not editable by the end user. Instead, downCast makes the resulting document highly accessible for editing without breaking the general layout.
Inserting a list item in a numbered list with automatic renumbering or adding a column in a table is something which cannot easily (if at all) be done in output formats like PDF or XSL-FO by a regular user.
downCast project also supports more advanced features like rendering of OASIS Exchange Table Model tables or fields whose actual contents gets automatically calculated by Word.
Additionally, downCast does not rely on the availability of Word template files for styles or font definitions, which makes it suitable for Word document generation on server platforms other than Windows.
Two-byte encoding and Unicode support is built-in. Encodings for special fonts can be specified in a font property mapping table, as well as you can modify the default stylesheet used for the conversion.
downCast has a built-in slim, but efficient application programming interface (API). You can program against this API and thus include the complete functionality of our downCast Technology into your own applications.
By writing only a few lines of Java code, you gain complete control over the document conversion process the same way as you would using the GUI.
Version restrictions:
- 30-day evaluation DEMO
- The document text output will contain interspersed random characters.
- The evaluation version only converts one document at a time then quits.
