### "Software interessante per convertire vari tipi di documenti in formato PDF, ma senza modificarli"

April 26, 2023

4.0

Il software è stato utilizzato per qualche mese in azienda per la conversione rapida di documenti di vari formati (immagini, documenti di testo, ecc) in formato pdf, il risultato è stato quasi sempre ottimale. Purtroppo la versione PRO non aggiunge ulteriori strumenti per editing dei files.

Pros

Velocità e facilità di utilizzo, interfaccia molto intuitiva ed essenziale, software leggero e conveniente utilizzabile anche da remoto, funziona sia come convertitore che come merger.

Cons

Le funzioni sono piuttosto limitate e anche la versione professionale non aggiunge strumenti particolari. Non sono presenti funzionalità di editing dei file pdf.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing PDFCreator

Sostanzialmente per il costo inferiore e la necessità di un applicativo rapido e basilare.

I can truly recommend pdf creator, it works wonders for creating and converting pdfs, protecting them or watermarking them.

Cons

I really can't find anything wrong about this software, it works great for conversions and it's compatibility with autocad is just amazing.

As I mentioned PDF creator is wonderful software for combining pdfs or creating them, it even has amazing protection features.

February 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like the advantage of visualizing the plans and documents before they are delivered to the client, which allows me to self - evaluate the final product and correct or adjust this product before making the final delivery. In addition, it is possible to add, rotate and delete pages of digitally printed documents

Cons

sometimes it consumes a lot of memory for the processing of computer images, reducing the capacity of the computer at the start of the program

### "Convenient and automated"

December 11, 2019

5.0

Too much time was wasted in the process of creating pdf files, renaming them, compressing them and eventually also printing them. With PDFCreator we managed to automate the process and save a lot of time.

Pros

The software lets you create profiles that automate actions and makes us save time. When sending a document to a virtual printer created in PDF creator, the file is automatically converted into a PDF following a set of rules we set up in the profile and also printed - if desired. Very convenient and fast.

Cons

The software is available for Windows PCs only. This is a very big limit as we have many Apple computers in our team.

Is fairly simple to use, to incorporate among your programs, not invasive and not too heavy.

Pros

It's simple, is light, not too invasive and the results are really good. Overall is great for transforming documents to PDF.

### "Great conversion tool for downloading files"

December 19, 2018

5.0

The level of security and the fact of converting files in an easier way it is what stills holding me to use this feature on my daily basis, It could be useful for me at work and also at college since it helps me a lot at the time to do my assigns.

Pros

It is a very easy and safe tool in which you can download files, pictures from Word, Excel, Outlook that facilitate everyone's work converting any file in PDF. Specially the option of clicking the file and dragging it to the area you want. The security level of this feature is what i like the most.

Cons

Sometimes it doesn't have the capability of manage the compress size of the files. Also, you cannot edit or modify the file once it is on the PDF, basically it is a copy of what you are saving. Furthermore, it prompts some viruses alerts on my computer.

### "Avis PDFCreator"

October 13, 2023

4.0

J'avoue qu'en un temps de ma carrière, je ne voyais que PDFCreator partout, dans presque tous les ordinateurs des clients, et même des collègues.

Pros

Comme son nom l'indique, c'est un produit qui crée des PDF tout simplement et il le fait.

Cons

Sa complexité me laisse perplexe. C'est un peu compliqué à utiliser pour moi comparer à d'autres concurrents.

### "PDF Creator. Good way to save information."

November 25, 2018

5.0

My overall experience with PDF creator has been positive.

Pros

PDF Creators allows me to save personal and business documents in a secure and reading-friendly way. Specially scanned documents or any other type of file that I want to share or save making sure that it won't be modified and the presentation will be professional. Also it reduced significantly the size of the files.

Cons

To have available most of the features, it is required to have the paid version, Which can be a little expensive if one is not going to use regularly.

### "Protect your docs with PDF"

March 11, 2019

5.0

I highly recommend using PDF Creator to protect your documents from being changed by others. It helps protect the integrity of your document.

Pros

PDF Creator was/is always easy for me to use. I have used PDFCreator for business meetings, my resumes or any documents that I fill out and need to protect when sending to a customer or business. I have also used the software for many word docs and any photos or flyers that are in a jpeg or png format. It is quick and easy to use. While I was in college I used it a few times a month while in student leadership which was handy especially since I was on a budget ant the software was free.

Cons

At first it felt clunky to use since I wasn't all that tech savvy. I stressed a few times that the alignment of the document would come out strange during the conversion process. After a few uses and taking the time to learn how to use it became a non issue.

### "Simple to use, free version is best for daily needs"

November 30, 2018

5.0

Buy it, set it up, forget creating pdf to use for reports and what not. I would strongly recommend :)

Pros

If you have pdf creation requirements, this is THE pdf creation tool. We used to use a different pdf creation tool earlier, this one was recommended from ninite.com, has been an amazing experience. Print to pdf works flawlessly, we bought the Plus version to create Hot folders, never looked back.

Cons

At this point we don't find any cons as all files were configurable, flawless.
