PdfPrinter (for S60 3rd edition smartphones)
With PdfPrinter you can create PDF documents, also known as Adobe® Acrobat® files, on your Nokia Eseries smartphone, such as the Nokia E61(i), the Nokia E65 and the Nokia E90.
PdfPrinter is a printer driver, it transforms the generic printer commands generated by programs into PDF commands and stores them in a PDF file. As a result you can create PDF files from most programs that can print.
The resulting PDF file can now be backed up, viewed on a desktop PC, stored in your corporate database, emailed to a client, etc.
PdfPrinter (for S60 3rd edition smartphones) is only suitable for Nokia Eseries smartphones with on-board printing support.
All compatible smartphones

PdfPrinter (for S60 3rd edition smartphones) creates PDF version 1.2 (Adobe® Acrobat® 3.x),
1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) and 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) files.
- You can set the PDF properties of the file, such as the title, the author and important keywords.
- PdfPrinter compresses the file, making it less demanding on storage space and also making it faster and cheaper to email to another party.
- You can restrict access to the file by specifying whether the contents can be copied, printed or viewed by special-needs viewers.
- You can encrypt the file with the Standard 40 bits encryption (Acrobat 3.x and 4.x) and the much safer 128 bits encryption schemes.
- It is not possible to use the Standard PDF Symbol and Zapf Dingbats fonts. Neither is it possible to embed fonts.
There are some issues you need to be aware of when creating PDF documents with PdfPrinter (for S60 3rd edition smartphones).
- Only characters that are part of the codepage 1252 character set are added to the PDF file, other characters are replaced by a space.
- PdfPrinter is compatible with most programs that can
print. Known exceptions are the Web browser and the MMS viewer.
The Web browser either crashes when setting a printer driver, or crashes during the print.
The MMS viewer cannot load PdfPrinter. - QuickOffice 5.x is compatible with PdfPrinter. However, QuickOffice 5.x prints pages as bitmaps, and this results in documents that cannot be searched for text strings, for instance.

Devices
Not all S60 3rd edition devices contain the printer subsystem. Most (but not all) Nokia Eseries devices do contain the printer subsystem. PdfPrinter can safely be installed on other S60 3rd edition devices, but it will not work.
A quick and easy test to determine whether PdfPrinter is compatible with your device is to check the existence of the Printers application. If there is no Printers application, PdfPrinter doesn't work on your device.
