PDF24 PDF Creator installs a virtual printer driver that allows you to convert any printable document or image into PDF format. You can also import documents from your scanner, combine multiple documents into one and delete selected pages from existing PDF files. The program supports creation of secure, digitally signed documents, PDF quality settings, integrated preview, emailing, and more.
You can either drag'n drop documents onto the GUI or convert them from any other program by using the virtual printer driver - simply select the PDF24 printer instead of your regular paper printer.

PDF24 Creator 10.1.0 changelog:
General
- Cloud print function removed
- This service has been discontinued by Google and can no longer be used. Therefore this function has been removed from PDF24 Creator.
Update buttons can be removed
- Update buttons can be removed in the user interface. This can be done via the configuration. The new option NoUpdateCheckBtns (DWORD32=[0,1]) is available for this purpose. Some companies have requested this feature.
Tray icon open tool can be set
- A new option has been added in the configuration to set the tray icon open tool. This is the option trayIcon.openTool [REG_SZ]. Values can currently be [toolbox, launcher, creator]. If you double click on the icon or select the open option from the context menu, the corresponding program will be opened.
NoKeepDocInfo option introduced
- The NoKeepDocInfo (DWORD=[0,1]) option can be used to set whether the metadata of a PDF should be kept from the source document or not. The default value is 0, so the data will be preserved. Note about custom output profiles: With the save profiles you can store your own metadata which should be used when a PDF is saved.
pdf24.exe
- Dependency on spooler removed
- This dependency is not strictly necessary and has been removed.
Code improvements
- The pdf24.exe has received extensive code changes, improvements and new options, which will hopefully help to better find potential further problems. Among other things, many more lines of code have also been added, which means that more information is written to the log files, which can be used to track the actions. [full release notes]
