Q is the ultimate solution for creating high quality PDFs in a centrally managed environment by automating the production of PDFs from original source files. Bluebeam Q is installed on a server and powers PDF processing and publishing through 4 different options: Network PDF Printer, Watched Folders, Script Engine and API (Application Programming Interface).
