For legal professionals, efficiency is key. Traditionally, printing prebills results in numerous individual PDF files, one for each matter. By leveraging the PDF-XChange ProLaw® printer's settings, you can seamlessly combine all your prebills into a single PDF.
Important Note: The free version of PDF-XChange ProLaw® will apply a watermark to your generated PDFs.
