Group policies¶
Since PDFCreator Business 2.2.0 it is possible to control several
PDFCreator settings using group policies. Therefore we provide the PDFCreator Business.admx file.
You can find this file in the “Group Policies” folder of your installation of PDFCreator Business or PDFCreator Terminal Server.
If you are new to Group Policies and want to learn how to install and manage them, please read the following MSDN article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb530196.aspx
Make sure to always copy the PDFCreator Business.adml file into the path %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions\en-us whether
your Windows is installed in English or in another language. The PDFCreator Business.admx file goes into %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions.
All settings are arranged as machine and user group policy. At which machine is superior.
