Pluspunten:

Allowed me to convert other files into PDF, which is a more commonly accepted file type in the science community.

Minpunten:

At some point they started including adware with the package which was frustrating. As long as you are cautious during install it is fairly easy to avoid installing unwelcome extras.

There Is Nothing Greater Than PDFCreator!

5,0 3 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: I use it for free and based on that alone I am impressed with what it can do for me consistently. It is a great resource in my line of work and I intend on using it some more for years to come.

Pluspunten:

I always use this tool when I want to protect my files from any unwanted edits that they may encounter along the way as I send it to a recipient via email. It is a form of security (as far as I'm concerned) that goes a long way in making sure that your documents do not get tampered with.

Minpunten:

Sometimes I experience page cutoffs when creating a PDF document then printing it out on physical paper. I wish the software had some sort of detection algorithm that prevents this from happening because you end up wasting pages by printing more than what you were suppose to.

Very useful application

4,0 2 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Overall a very good product I use most days.

Pluspunten:

I use this application for creating binders for court and also for merging documents. I also redact information on this app.

Minpunten:

It crashes a lot when there are lots of documents merging. It is a shame because the features are all brilliant but it gets slow or crashes occasionally.

Not bad, not the best

3,0 6 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

It's a very easy platform for printing files to pdf or other types of files, like jpg. There are also some tools that allow the user to easily change resolution or alter pdf options. For example, the user can add some security password protection or decide whether to compress images to create a smaller document. Functionally the software is fairly easy to use and interact with from other software platforms, like Microsoft products or anything that communicates with print drivers.

Minpunten:

There are not enough options for pdf creation. I would like to not only create, but also edit pdf files once they're created. My biggest problem is really with the process of creating a pdf. First I select print document using pdf creator, then a window pops up for me to create the pdf, along with options, and then the pdf opens. I wish we could skip some of the intermediate windows and just have the document print to pdf assuming all of the pre-programmed options

PDFCreator Review

5,0 2 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

PDFCreator is an easy to use and inexpensive tool for PDF conversions. It has very useful features that support smooth workflow for individuals as well as businesses. Notable features I love include the ability to convert any printable docs to PDFs. It goes further and allows PDF files to image formats like PNGs, TIFF or JPGs. And to simply your workflow, PDFCreator allows multiple documents to be merged into a single document, thus reducing file sizes, and also supports rearranging of individual documents in the merged file according to preference. The app works perfectly on most windows run computers and for sensitive files, no need to worry because users can lock documents with passwords, add a digital signature or restrict modification or printing of their files. This app is also great because its able to archive your PDFs through its PDF/A standard feature and be stored for years.

Minpunten:

It's a very good and free app overall. It's not the best but does the work just fine.

PDFCreator editor of quality documents to handle and with protection.

5,0 7 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: PDFCreator is a very useful tool that has allowed me to take documents from Word, Excel and Power Point to PDF, and with well-defined security standards I can protect my documents when uploading them to the network. It has also allowed me to edit documents, as others with permission edit those generated by me. When you read books in PDF the tool allows you to make notes about aspects of reading that are considered important, through shading, underlining and you can even add comments about what is being read.

Pluspunten:

The files that are created through PDFCreator are of quality, and accept from a blank document, to any Word file, Excel or Power Point, among others. When you have a file it is very easy to convert it using this tool in PDF, which allows more security for the information that is handled, and it is even better to print it. The files that are generated with PDFCreator can be modified, and are easily accessible from any computer equipment and the format does not change regardless of the Office that is installed. When we edit a PDF file we can extract specific pages, delete some pages if required. It also allows us to work in collaboration with other people, that is, we can make revisions of PDF files that are issued by other people, and in them we can add or delete comments, watermarks, you can cross out, highlight or highlight aspects that are considered necessary, and even allows us to select part of the text and paste them in other parts or other types of files. Something that I find excellent and that in the case of uploading to the network PDF documents can be protected so that it is only revision or download, and avoid being manipulated, since it allows the use of passwords, depending on how you configure will restrict the use of such documents.

Minpunten:

PDFCreator is a tool often used in my professional work both to research and to create and edit new documents, from my experience I have had no problems in the use of the tool, rather I use it frequently for the security it provides to the information that should be shared, especially in networks.

Scalable PDF solution to your business in growth stage

4,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: It is the easiest and affordable solution to standardized PDF creation in not homogeneous environments. As a consultant, I have suggested its´s installation regularly in all customers computers, providing good PDF creation for all users.

Pluspunten:

You can start using a powerful free version before decide if you need the Plus or Business versions features. It has too a great PDF Editor for free, to make adjustments and corrections in documents. It is multilingual, what helps IT administrators in companies with international offices. The free version allow you to protect the PDF against changing or printing. To offer services that need to support high documents volume or be used outside corporate computers, you can buy the server based solution.

Minpunten:

Sometimes PDF size and resolution are under the quality you need. The ads during setup can do the antivirus to blocked it.

The years pass and PDF Creator is still the leader of the software to create and edit documents.

5,0 7 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: PDF Creator always related to my achievements from the academic and professional point of view. I owe part of my successes to this software. Undoubtedly this is among my favorite tools in every research I develop. I hope that my children can count on this valuable program in the same way.

Pluspunten:

PDF Creator exceeds in light-years other programs to edit documents in PDF format for several reasons, among which the action of clicking and dragging stands out. The speed with which we can convert and create PDF files with just a touch is impressive, which makes it a very practical and complete software. Fully recommended for those who wish to save time and money.

Minpunten:

It is a great software, however the option should be relaxed so that other users can print, copy or modify files without the signature being above the text, which sometimes makes reading uncomfortable. Copyright must be respected, but other ways to enforce these rights should be sought.

Excellent tool for your documents

4,0 4 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Pdf Creator is a great program, great tool and easy to use.

Pluspunten:

Pdf creator is an excellent tool which allows you to develop your documents in a totally different and professional format, it is equipped with many features such as, allowing you to develop different formats within the same Pdf format, the security is very good as you can save your documents with password and all the information is encrypted. Pdf Creator gives you great facilities for the use of each tool allowing you to have an excellent work in a short time. You can connect on any device and it is modified in a friendly way.

Minpunten:

The feature that could be improved is the simultaneous use of Pdf Creator because in the program you can only convert or edit one file at a time and this becomes a disadvantage in terms of the amount of work you have to do.

Very good tool to convert your documents to PDF!

4,0 7 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: As a lawyer I have to make many documents, documents that can not be edited by my clients, that is why PDFCreator is very useful because it allows converting many types of documents easily.

Pluspunten:

The tool integrates very well with Windows, once you install it it seems to be part of the OS. It also allows to combine different PDF files very easily, I have never had problems with changing sources in the transformation.

Minpunten:

One of the problems is that it is installed with other software that is very private, another thing is that many software already have the option to save in PDF, this makes each day less useful.

Creation of read only & reference documents from various sources

4,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Purpose was to generate homogeneous PDF files from various sources and create a reference document library based on several sources

Pluspunten:

Accepts a lot of input types of files (docs from word and other word processing software) Transforms printable views into PDF files

Minpunten:

A bit complex to setup for basic users of computers as it creates a virtual printer generating PDF files instead of physically printing documents on a printer

Minpunten:

The user interface could be reworked, sometimes it can be really uncomfortable and even doing the smallest tasks can feel clunky.

Open source PDF creation

4,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.
