Simplify Regulatory Document Submission with Auto PDF Export from Legal Software
Meta Description:
Streamline regulatory compliance with VeryPDF's Virtual PDF Printer Driver SDKautomated PDF creation built right into your legal software.
Every Friday was chaos.
Legal filings. Case reports. Internal memos.
All of them scattered across five different tools.
And when it came time to submit documents to regulators?
Pure pain.
We had to export everything into PDFs, rename them according to specific naming conventions, bundle them into folders, check security settings and just pray nothing got missed.
Manually converting files was chewing up 34 hours a week. That's when I realised something needed to change.
Enter: VeryPDF Virtual PDF Printer Driver SDK
I stumbled on VeryPDF's Virtual PDF Printer Driver SDK while digging around forums for automated "Print to PDF" solutions.
Not some flashy app, not bloatware.
Just a lean SDK you can drop straight into your own legal or document management software.
Here's the kicker:
It installs like a virtual printer, meaning anything that can print, can become a PDF.
But what sold me? It's completely customisable and runs silently in the background.
Let me walk you through how we used itand how it changed everything for our legal ops.
What It Does (And Why It Matters)
The SDK installs a virtual PDF printer on any Windows systemXP to Windows 11 and beyond.
Think of it as a stealth printer sitting inside your software.
You send a print job, and instead of a paper copy, you get a polished PDF file.
No user prompts. No clicking "Save As".
No folder hunting.
It just works.
And because it's a developer kit, you can wire it into your software's core processes.
My 3 Favourite Features (With Real-World Use)
1. Auto-Save to Predefined Locations
We built it to automatically store PDFs into folders based on:
-
Client name
-
Case number
-
Document type
-
Date
No typing. No dragging files around.
PDFs land exactly where they should.
2. Custom File Naming with Tokens
We use token-based naming like:
[ClientName]_[CaseID]_[DocType]_[YYYYMMDD].pdf
Saves HOURS chasing files.
And regulators love the consistent formatting.
3. Security + Compliance Ready
We're dealing with confidential documents.
So built-in 128-bit PDF encryption is non-negotiable.
With VeryPDF, we don't need a separate step to secure files.
It's baked right into the export process.
Bonus?
You can set different encryption rules for different doc types.
No need to baby-sit it.
Why We Ditched Our Old PDF Library
We tried a popular open-source PDF library before this.
It was fineuntil you tried to:
-
Combine print jobs
-
Set permissions
-
Handle language-specific file names (our international clients complained)
And don't even get me started on Terminal Server compatibility.
VeryPDF's SDK nailed all of these.
It just workseven on Citrix.
And it runs silently, so our team never has to touch it.
Who This Is For
Let's keep it real. This SDK isn't for your average user who wants to convert a few docs.
But if you're a:
-
Legal tech developer building client-facing platforms
-
IT manager rolling out tools for compliance teams
-
SaaS provider needing white-labelled PDF exports
-
Enterprise dev integrating document workflows
...this SDK is your secret weapon.
Even better? It's royalty-free, so you don't get hit with licensing nonsense down the road.
Final Take
This tool crushed one of the biggest bottlenecks in our legal ops.
No more PDF chaos. No more manual naming.
Everything just gets routed, saved, and secured on autopilot.
I'd recommend it to anyone building software for legal, finance, HR, or compliance.
If your users need "Print to PDF" without babysitting the process, this is it.
