IT and Network Administrator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Since I discovered PDF creator over the internet, it's my pdf creator tool. Great..!" April 11, 2018 5.0 Pros PDFCreator is a very easy to use tool to create pdf from any application, just doing a "print" to the virtual device it creates. Another reason why I use it, is because PDFCreator generates PDF files with high quality to be sent or presented. Compatbility is another pros I see. Cons .- Sometimes it gives me error related to the file I'm trying to create from, but when retry, the PDF file is created without any error. Another thing is that recent versions show pop-ups about others features when using free version. It must be a way to turn off that. Review Source Xiomara Elena B.

In addition I can sign my files and encrypt to keep them more secure. Cons For the moment I did not have any problem using this app, for me is great, works perfectly and make its porpuse, maybe they can add the possibility to add edit text, that will be wonderful.

October 31, 2019 5.0 I really enjoyed using PDFCreator, but now I do not have as much of a need for it, as I have stopped writing music (this was the primary reason for my using this product). Pros What I like most about this product is the ability to convert many files to PDF format. I used to write music, and my music writing software would always act up when I wanted to make it into a PDF. But I used PDFCreator to make sure none of the markings/characters were moved around in the conversion process. Cons There wasn't anything in particular that drew me away from this product; I only began using a different software when my job changed. Review Source Oriana Veruska G. Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great PDF software, but with so many ads." June 28, 2018 4.0 PDF creator is a wonderful software, if they could tone it down with the ads it would be so much better, but overall using it has been a great experience. Pros The user interface of pdf creator is so simple and comfortable that using it is really easy. It allows creating pdfs from almost every type of documents and watermarks make sharing your pdfs a more secure procedure. Cons PDF creator has so many ads, that sometimes working with it becomes a hard experience, otherwise I can't think of something bad about this software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Exp.

Analista de TI Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Avaliação Thiago" December 15, 2022 5.0 Não tenho o que reclamar do PDF Creator, ele facilita e muito meu dia a dia na transformação de arquivos em pdf Pros A praticidade para gerar arquivos em pdf é essencial no dia a dia Cons Não tenho o que reclamar do PDF Creator, ele facilita e muito meu dia a dia na transformação de arquivos em pdf Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Online Marketing Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Open source PDF creation" July 19, 2019 4.0 PDFCreator is ideal for whenever you want to convert a regular document into a PDF. Used it in the past quite a lot, as PDF creation was not part of Office. However, since Microsoft introduced the ability to convert Office documents into PDFs I basically switched back to what it offers. Whenever I need something more advanced I basically use one of the various online PDF manipulation sites (i.e. for merging PDFs), but I guess PDFCreator still has its use for those that need to convert to PDF more often rather than just ocassionally. Pros PDFCreator was the first open source PDF creator launched, and that gained a lot of popularity over the years. It's the type of program that you install and use whenever you want to convert a regular document into a PDF. Later versions introduced conversion to other formats as well (JPG, PNG, TIF, ...) so it's more than a PDF creator now. It also allows PDF file manipulation as you can combine several documents into a single PDF file and it has support for multiple conversion profiles. Cons Still requires an additional download, Ghostscript. Not the most intuitive interface. A bit on the freemium side since they introduced the PDFCreator Plus paid version.
