Group policies¶
It is possible to control several PDFCreator settings using group policies. Therefore we provide the PDFCreator.admx file and several language files.
You can find the files in the “Group Policies” folder of your installation of PDFCreator Professional or PDFCreator Terminal Server.
To use the PDFCreator Group policies, copy the PDFCreator.admx file and the subfolder that matches your system language from
%programfiles%\PDFCreator\Group Policies into %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions.
All settings are arranged as machine and user group policy. At which machine is superior.
