PDFCreator is an application for converting documents into Portable Document Format (PDF) format on Microsoft Windows operating systems. It works by creating a virtual printer that prints to PDF files, and thereby allows practically any application to create PDF files by choosing to print from within the application and then printing to the PDFCreator printer. PDFCreator is free, even for commercial use! It is Open Source and released under the Terms of the GNU General Public License.
Key Features:
- Create PDFs from any program that is able to print
- Security: Encrypt PDFs and protect them from being opened, printed etc.
- Send generated files via eMail
- Create more than just PDFs: PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, PCX, PS, EPS
- AutoSave files to folders and filenames based on Tags like Username, Computername, Date, Time etc.
- Merge multiple files into one PDF
- Easy Install: Just say what you want and everything is installed
- Terminal Server: PDFCreator also runs on Terminal Servers without problems
What's new in PDFCreator v2.0.2:
Improvements
- This is a maintenance release which only fixes bugs that were found in PDFCreator 2.0.1.
Bugs fixed
- The COM Interface was not registered as TLB and was thus not shown in the list of references in Word and Excel
- In some circumstances, Outlook may be opened even if another mail client is set as default.
- Two exception could occur when many instances of PDFCreator were started at the same time
Known issues
- Problems with opening a mail client from PDFCreator with Windows 8 and Thunderbird. The MAPI32.dll method just fails. This disappears when the Log level is set to Debug, without observable reason.
Note: PDFCreator includes 3rd party (optional) software.
