What is PDFCreator?
PDFCreator is a Windows-focused solution for automating how documents are generated and delivered in business workflows. It captures print jobs from almost any application and converts them into PDF, JPG, PNG, or TIF through a virtual printer, so teams can keep their existing tools and processes.
Organizations use PDFCreator to reduce manual document handling by applying profile-based rules for formatting, naming, securing, and routing output. This supports scenarios such as scheduled report generation, high-volume batch conversion, and compliance-ready distribution of documents in regulated sectors.
Its feature set includes strong encryption, password-based access control, digital signing, watermarking, MSI installation, Group Policy integration, and centralized management of profiles for multiple users. PDFCreator works with Office applications like Word and Excel, web browsers, ERP platforms, and any other Windows software capable of printing.
Licensing options range from a free version for personal, non-commercial use to three paid editions that address the needs of business deployments, terminal server environments, and larger enterprises.
