Description

PDFCreator automates document output in Windows-based business environments, covering the whole creation pipeline from conversion to delivery. It converts print output from any application into PDF, JPG, PNG, or TIF via a virtual printer, so existing workflows don’t need to change. Businesses use PDFCreator to streamline repetitive document tasks: output is captured, formatted, named, secured, and routed according to configurable profiles. Typical use cases include automated report generation, batch processing of large document sets, and compliant document delivery in regulated industries. Key capabilities include encryption, password protection, digital signatures, watermarking, MSI-based deployment, Group Policy support, and centralized profile management. It works with Word, Excel, browsers, ERP platforms, and essentially any Windows application that can print. PDFCreator is available as a free edition for individual, non‑commercial use, alongside three paid editions tailored to business, terminal server, and broader enterprise deployments.

Description

Adobe created PDF, which stands for Portable Document Format, to facilitate document exchange. DoPDF is a free PDF printer that creates PDF files. It can convert any type of printed document to PDF files once it is installed. DoPDF installs itself as an automatic virtual PDF printer driver. After a successful installation, it will be listed in your Printers & Faxes list and in the All Programs list. You can convert to PDF using doPDF in two ways. This is exactly the same as printing to a regular printer. However, the PDF file will not be printed. Use the doPDF Startup window. DoPDF has an executable file that you can run to launch a conversion wizard. It is accessible from the start program group.
