FinePrint Software

FinePrint, our first product, was conceived when I was working as a software architect at a large financial company.  We were producing huge amounts of paper documentation and it bothered me how much of it was wasted. I got together with Mark O’Brien and we came up with an idea about how to solve the problem.  After six months of moonlighting we released FinePrint in 1996.  A year or so later we were having so much fun with FinePrint, we quit our day jobs and started working on it full time.

In 2001 Adobe released the specification for PDF allowing developers to create PDF applications. We wanted a PDF creator that worked as well as FinePrint so we created pdfFactory and pdfFactory Pro.

Our products are designed to be simple, fast and beautiful. In a world of three-tiered toolbars, you will find our products to be a breath of fresh air.  

我们的第一款产品FinePrint是我在一家大型金融公司担任软件架构师时构思出来的。我们制作了大量的纸质文件，其中有多少被浪费了，这让我很困扰。我和马克·奥布莱恩一起想出了一个解决问题的办法。经过六个月的兼职，我们在1996年发布了FinePrint。大约一年后，我们在FinePrint上玩得很开心，于是我们辞去了日常工作，开始全职工作。

2001年，Adobe发布了PDF规范，允许开发人员创建PDF应用程序。我们想要一个和FinePrint一样好用的PDF创建器，所以我们创建了pdfFactory和pdfFactory Pro。

我们的产品设计简单、快捷、美观。在一个三层工具栏的世界里，你会发现我们的产品是一股清新的空气。
