Brad,

I recently ran into a situation that would have save the client a lot of money and time had they been easily able to do that. PDF is a fairly common format. They have thousands of PDF documents that their users and clients can view, email or print on demand.

But shortly after they are first generated (on an overnight or weekend run) they need to be printed (for legal reasons.) There are a limited number of printers that print PDF directly, so they had to buy a printer dedicated to the task, although they already had high speed printers (albeit ones that didn't print PDFs.) The alternative was to run it through a Windows driver attached printer. Neither solution was ideal. Having the ability to flip it to *IPDS would have been great.
