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.

PDF creator as a newsletter publishing aid
Date: Mar 27 2023SummaryEasy to use and works well for what it is designed to do. There are limitations, but any added abilities are not free.
PositiveI like that I can convert multiple files into one file so several pages can all be printed with one command. I publish a small newsletter that originates as a word document. Saving it as a PDF before printing (after all the rewrites and corrections have been made) prevents any errors from being made with erroneous keystrokes when printing. I once had several hundred copies print with an error before I started making the final proof available as a PDF.
NegativeIt is a little inconvenient to go back to a word doc (or other working program) to make corrections. But that is the price I must pay in order to insure that the final copy stays unchanged while printing.

PDF Creator
Date: Jan 25 2023SummaryReally good, and suits my purposes. I am a volunteer for several not-for-profit community-based organisations, and need to send a monthly report, meeting agendas, minutes etc, Most of the members of these groups can open a .PDF, but sometimes for them a WORD document will be distorted or corrupted when they try to print. So, it's better that I send the relevant document as PDF's.
PositiveThis program helps me in my volunteer capacities to send the occasional .PDF rather than WORD, because most folk can open a .PDF, but sometimes a WORD document will be distorted/corrupted when they try to print.
NegativeI don't need Architect, thanks... it is annoying when the software tries to entice me to use Architect. I find Architect very slow to open to review a newly .PDF'd document.

PDFCreator
Date: Jan 21 2023SummaryIt's been a great product for many years. I wish it would stop pushing PDF Architect so hard that it has become so annoying to use.
PositiveBeen using it for a decade at work and home to keep copies of online documentation, receipts, anything I need a copy of and want to keep. It even names the file for you. You just point to the location.
NegativePDF Architect keeps popping up and I spend more time closing it than I do using PDFCreator. I am ready to stop using it and move to the built in one in Windows 11.

Good Product
Date: Jan 21 2023SummaryIt's simple and easy to use. I've tried others: too many steps, too many coding issues. Thank you for making a great product.
PositiveUsed for years. It works. Converts all my documents to PDF files in seconds. Like that I can name the file and file it where I choose.
NegativeWish I could set up a default location where to file converted file when I forget to change the location from the last use. I think it went one place and then I realize I forgot to update the location where it was supposed to go. Then I am trying to find the file to move it to the proper location. Maybe if it asked when I clicked save, "Is the file location line correct?".
