Introduction to the Penneo Printer

The Penneo Printer is used to automatically create a PDF of documents you have in any software as long as the software has a print feature. Printing with the Penneo Printer will send the documents directly to Penneo's Desktop application as a PDF. The printer function solely works with the Desktop application, you cannot send documents to the web version. Also note that the installation of Printer is different on Windows, Mac and Linux.
