What you see is what you get
AlphaGraphics exclusive software (powered by Adobe) allows you to create and send PDF files directly from your computer to print at AlphaGraphics. The free AG PDF Express software is configured to generate Adobe PDF files that match our center’s complex output devices, so you can reliably use AlphaGraphics print services from your own desktop or laptop computer to print content any time and anywhere.
AG PDF Express takes the frustration and hassle out of printing by allowing you to create and send complete PDF files of your documents right from your computer.
This means all your fonts and images are automatically gathered and included in a print-ready document — so the job we deliver will look exactly like the job you sent.
You can even get an online proof just to double check. It’s like being at one with your project.
AG PDF Express allows you to do all this for free, without needing to purchase and install Acrobat Distiller. Easy delivery, reliable production.
