From incoming PDF to printed, archived, and accounted for.

Frequently asked questions
Does PaperRoute convert other document formats to PDF?+
No. PaperRoute is intentionally focused on incoming PDF files: monitoring, automatic printing, archiving, retention, and local logging.
Does it require a cloud account?+
No. The workflow runs locally on the Windows machine. The trial begins automatically after installation, with no signup required.
What happens if printing fails?+
PaperRoute records the failure in its operational log so the issue can be reviewed. A file is archived only after the print step succeeds.
Can I choose how long archived documents are kept?+
Yes. Set the retention period in days, and PaperRoute will remove expired archived files automatically.
