PDF reDirect is a lightweight, virtual printer driver for Windows designed to generate, combine, and optimize industry-standard PDF files. Created by EXP Systems, it operates by intercepting standard print jobs and providing an interactive suite of configuration menus prior to final file saving.
The core features and settings detailed across the platform’s official documentation and help files are organized into standard and professional categories below. Core Creation & Output Settings
Virtual Printer Redirection: Accessible via the standard Windows “Print” menu. Users select PDF reDirect instead of a physical machine to launch the configuration dashboard.
Live Thumbnail Preview: Displays a real-time rendering of the current print queue layout. Users can click the thumbnail to open the document in their native viewer before committing to disk storage.
Quality and Size Optimization: Slide controls modify resolution outputs to optimize document weight. Printers default to a balanced 300 DPI, but resolution can be dialed up for high-fidelity desktop publishing or reduced for ultra-light web distribution.
Fast Web View: A structural re-ordering tool that sequences contents line-by-line. This allows web browsers to stream and open individual pages instantaneously without downloading the entire document first. Document Merging & Page Management
Drag-and-Drop Merging: Allows sequential stacking of disparate documents (e.g., matching Excel tables directly into a Word-generated narrative).
Merge List Automation: Users can combine dozens of separate print queues or existing PDFs into a unified file prior to saving.
Fix Page Rotation: An automated diagnostic feature that attempts to rotate individual landscape or upside-down pages based on internal font orientation metadata. Security & Viewer Preferences PDF reDirect Help Content
