Group policies¶
Since PDFCreator Business 2.2.0 it is possible to control several PDFCreator settings by group policy. Therefore we provide the “PDFCreator Business.admx” file. You can find this file in the “Group Policies” folder of your installation of PDFCreator Business.
If you are new to Group Policies and want to learn how to install and manage them, please read the following MSDN article:

All settings are arranged as machine and user group policy. At which machine is superior.
Note
When a policy is set, the respective feature in PDFCreator will be disabled in the user interface with a hint that it is set by the administrator.
The available group policy settings are listed below:
