It’s reasonably well known that R/KYV has a “view as PDF” feature, enabling most documents to be viewed as a pdf file.

To achieve this, you need an external product, AdLib, that interfaces with R/KYV, takes the documents, and returns them as a pdf file to R/KYV. All great in theory. In practice, however, many users have problems keeping AdLib stable.

If you are one of those users, or if you weren’t aware that R/KYV had the capacity to generate pdf’s, then we have a solution, Obsilon PDFLite (or jokingly known in the office as ObLib). It runs in a VMWare image, so it’s very easy to install and is not affected by machine configuration. It is a direct plug-in for AdLib, so requires no configuration changes.

We can even arrange for a limited page trial.
