Comparing RPM Elite and Select

Following is the summary of the features supported by RPM Remote Print Manager™ Elite version 5.0 which are not found in the Select 5.0 version.
  • HP PCL to PDF conversion: you can now convert incoming HP PCL printer files to PDF. This process has a number of options which may be helpful in your print processing, including:
    • merge the PDF file to be start or end of an existing file, for instance, to accumulate customer mailings in a given print run, or attach graphics rich boiler plate to your PDF document
    • use an existing PDF file as a template, for instance, an overlay
    • also supports raster processing for more complex graphics rich documents
  • Please see the RPM Elite HP PCL to PDF page for details.
  • PDF security is now supported on all PDF conversions, including the PDF password for both user and group; as well as author, keyword, subject, read only, no print, no copy, etc. 
  • Built in web server. We no longer support the Microsoft IIS product. The new custom Web interface is written in JavaScript and jQuery, and uses AJAX extensively. We have tested it with many thousands of print jobs and found it to be quite responsive. 
  • Text watermark: you can apply an image file to appear in the background of a print job going to the text print action. The image is written to the page and the text of your print job is written on top of the image in transparent mode. For more details go to the RPM Elite text watermark page.
  • PDF watermark: you can now apply an image file to appear in the background of a PDF document you create via the "text markup to PDF" transform. Like the text watermark, the document text is written on top of the image in transparent mode. 
  • Filter transform provides the opportunity to make custom changes to your print data as it's being processed , in line with the other transforms. The alternative is to send the print job to a filter action, and then send the result back to a different queue for further processing. RPM Elite uses the filter transform internally for HP PCL to PDF conversion, and for rendering the images used by text and PDF watermarks. For more information please see the RPM Elite filter transform page.
The following are changes from RPM Select to RPM Elite:
  • Enhanced print speed by increasing the number of print tasks from 2 to 5. Furthermore, you can adjust the number of tasks up to 256, though we don't guarantee that will make your printing faster on a given platform. Please see the RPM Elite print speed page for details.
  • Device limit defaults to 99, instead of 10.
