Its appearance is friendly which makes it less use. It has facilitated the sending of heavy files by email, since I convert them into pdf without any problem. PDFCreator, is one of the best free options that exist, its time is minimal when converting any file, which makes the experience excellent when using it. Without a doubt, it is effective and efficient, that is why I highly recommend it to all users, it is very essential for those of us who work in the office and also for university students solves many problems when unifying several files and then converting it into PDF format. for me it is essential to have it installed in the different equipment that I use daily, as my work computer, laptop, tablet, is really excellent and unique. PDFCreator gives me everything that other software does not give me that promise to be great but they really are not, causing discomfort and taking away valuable time. Personally I manage very well with elno I have more to say and recommend to all my friends and acquaintances this application, which will undoubtedly continue evolving to take us to another level of quality and experience. Total thanks so PDFCreator is the best of all it is a very good option to have it, until now it has not failed me and it is maximum Cons what I like the least is that it brings with it many viruses and in some way affects the operability of the equipment, in addition sometimes the advanced options can be a bit annoying since they are a bit confusing, it would be good to simplify that to improve the experience when resorting to these options, you can work with them like that, but it would be much better a total simplification that would undoubtedly make PDFCreator a better application among the best. Additionally I share that when installing this software, a toolbar is installed by default in the Internet browsers already on the computer, which is annoying as it redirects attempts to access incorrect addresses (404 error) to a results page with advertising. If all this is corrected, it would be great. the rest I have but to change or criticize this software, rather than disadvantages, has many advantages and usefulness so with this I close, hoping from the heart that my suggestions will serve as something to improve this application, for me it would be very satisfying to see soon These suggested changes come true, either to install it again on another computer as well as the simplification of the advanced options that I mentioned earlier. From the rest everything is going well and I hope it continues like this, longing for its evolution so that they have a greater reach of registered users and identified with this software.

L'ho trovato molto semplice e molto veloce, la conversione mi è sempre riuscita bene e sono davvero soddisfatto, continuerò sicuramente ad utilizzarlo per i miei progetti. Pros Pdf creator e davvero uno dei migliori software di pdf in circolazione, la versione gratuita offre davvero tante opzioni utili, quella più importante è la conversione dei file in pdf che si svolge in un secondo ed è perfetta. Inoltre c'è anche la possibilità di stampare i nostri pdf, crearli ecc... Cons Pdf creator mi ha soddisfatto,l'unica cosa è che secondo me, la versione a pagamento è limitata e per renderla davvero conveniente dovrebbero aggiungere qualche funzionalità in più. Inoltre a prima vista questo programma potrebbe risultare complicato per chi è inesperto. Review Source EH Emmanuelle H.

Pros The virtual printer PDFCREATOR integrates very well with the other software, allows to improve the configuration of the output file. It works for more than 20 different extensions. The action of clicking the file and dragging, and automatically edit it is very good. In the profile system it can be copied in Flash Memory to be used in another PC.

Convincing two PDF files is extremely easy, just select right click and open them with PDFCREATOR, then join lessons, and that's it! Cons If you want to create a single PDF document with several non-PDF files, it does not work as well, since you must first open all the files in your default programs, this can take a long time and is complicated.

Jefe del departamento de Oceanografia Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Indispensable to send files that require a certain degree of protection of information. " March 10, 2018 4.0 The biggest gain I've had and still have with this program is the level of security and the relatively little space I need to work with files in this format, both for those I send and for those I receive or download from the Internet, which , combined with the PDF converter, allow me to generate text files from the original pdf format. Pros Indispensable to send files that require a certain degree of protection of information.   Creating documents with this format (PDF) is extremely easy and fast. In addition, in many cases the security of the information you want to send is vital and this format offers several options and levels of security such as the ability to add a watermark, encrypt data and use passwords and, on the other hand, and not least is the fact that it has a great capacity to compress the size of files. Cons In many cases it can be very difficult to work with information received in a PDF document, since this format, in principle, is not made so that the editable document, in other words, it is practically impossible to edit a PDF for the simple fact that it is it's about an image of a document. Fortunately, there are already tools such as the Aiseesoft PDF Converter Ultimate that allows converting PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other editable text formats. Review Source AL Amos L.
