PrintOnly is a Windows software tool that restricts documents from being printed by physical USB printers but cannot be viewed or edited. This effectively prevents the content of the document from being changed before printing. The program supports a variety of document formats, including PDF, MS Word, Excel, JPG/PNG/TIF images, TXT, PowerPoint, RTF, and more.
The program employs a unique document format.POF (PrintOnly File), which is impervious to viewing or modification. With this format, your documents can only be printed by physical USB printers using the PrintOnlyClient client program, adding a strong layer of security against unauthorized viewing or alterations.
Besides, PrintOnly can limit the number of times a document is printed on each computer and also allows you to add watermark text onto the document.
PrintOnly has a portable ZIP version which enables users to easily transfer the program. The language pack of the program includes English, German, French, Italian, Greek, Dutch, Czech, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Hungarian and Turkish languages. Users can choose their favorite language UI while installing the program.
PrintOnly is a valuable tool for businesses and organizations that need to protect sensitive data or prevent unauthorized printing. It is also useful for individuals who want to control how their documents are printed.
