### "PDF creator - create a PDF in a second!"

December 7, 2020

5.0

I definitely recommend this software to everyone!

Pros

So simple, so fast, just a click! And you can convert any document into a PDF. Not allowing it to be edited by anyone. It works for official and less oficial documentos. Ideal for documents that need to be printed and you cannot allow format changes.

Cons

There's not much to say on the cons side of PDF Creator. It's simple and fast to use, and only with a click you can convert your doc into a PDF!

### "PDFCreator - avis "

January 7, 2023

5.0

Je recommande le logiciel. Adobe Acrobat est son concurrent, mais j'ai une préférence pour ce logiciel.

Pros

Le logiciel est très facile à utiliser et très ergonomique. Il permet de transformer plusieurs types de documents en PDF (Word ou des fichiers png par exemple). Très pratique.

Cons

Le logiciel propose des logiciels lors de l'installation... À faire attention de ne pas laisser toutes les cases cochées par défaut.

May 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

With this software I can upload my writings to the internet without fear of plagiarism or alterations in my way of thinking, which is why I consider it a very important application.

Cons

Regarding the disadvantages, I can only say that the installation takes a long time to execute and that it requests the installation of other unknown software, which I must accept in order to complete it.

### "Nice tool to have in the document arsenal"

January 30, 2020

5.0

PDFCreator provides great value. You can use it to create PDF from a lot of different formats, edit PDFs, add your own notes, create passwords and much more.

Pros

It is absolutely free to use for personal and business purposes. Even the Pro version, the add free one, is insanely cheap on 13.9 Euros a year. You can transform docs, excels to PDFs and password protect it. Adds an extra layer of security extremely easy and hides the content from "curios" eyes.

Cons

I only wish they had a version for MAC OS. Otherwise it works just fine.

March 15, 2018

It allows you to use different profiles, which allows you to change the printing configuration quickly, you can also use the program for free. Of the negative elements are possible with the conversion of pages with images, you need a PDF reader.

Pros

It is very easy to use, in addition to the conversion of files, the utility is able to carry out preliminary print settings, allows to superimpose a digital signature and password files for protection against writing.

October 16, 2018

5.0

Overall I am very happy with the program. I often get emails with large documents and need to upload them to my companies system which limits the size of the file. This program allows ypu to split up a file into multiple pdf files which are quicker and easier to upload.

Pros

This program is easy to use and great for splitting up large documents.

Cons

The program takes a couple of minutes when you use it to split up a document.

March 25, 2020

PDFCreator has been an application I can't do without because of its simplicity and functionality. I easily convert files for my teaching materials and I can't afford to let go of this great service.

Pros

I am more pleased to use PDFCreator because it allows me to convert files of different format easily to PDF for the purpose of easy access and editing for my work. It also allows the merging of several documents and the ability to protect your files cannot be underrated.

Cons

Based on my use of the application, I am satisfied unless for the unusual advertising that comes up with the free version.

The app is usable and helpful to its users.

### "I Have Concerns"

June 9, 2020

3.0

This service needs some polishing before I will recommend it to anyone. There are other options out there that do all of the same things but have a much better presentation and experience.

Pros

This software allows the editing of PDFs and conversion to other formats. It is simple enough to use and is free.

Cons

I have some concerns with this software. First of all, the website has a plethora of English grammar mistakes. This fact alone made me hesitant to use it at all. It requires a download of the software onto your PC in order to use, which I'm not sure I trust when there are so many mistakes on its website. There are other services out there that will do the same thing as this software online without requiring you to download a file. There are also ads in the software.

July 10, 2018

Free and easy to use.

Pros

Simple to use with little to no instructions on what to do. Makes it east to create PDF's or secure them when needed. I use it most for merging work docs or moving around the order of the pages as needed. Works great for this purpose

Cons

So far nothing. It is freeware and works for what I need. I have been using it for a year and had no issues with the software.

### " I recommend"

August 6, 2020

When I have a document to type I see the ease of use and the functions that the tool has.

Pros

The PDF creator is very easy to handle, allows you to type text and print, I liked asking for permission to access my files, I can create new pages, I recommend to work.

Cons

Practical and easy to use, but it would be nice if I could change the color of the PDF just a suggestion, but it is an excellent tool.
