User Reviews

  • Brilliant work! 5/5! Looking forward for next release. File Serializer (during save) needs a bit more work, I have some complex PDF files (with CAD drawing content) that get corrupted after save.
  • Fantastic project, thanks a ton for sharing
  • Fantastic project. Thanks
  • Nice and Easy to use.
  • Besides the sometimes rather complicated way of having to set up things, and the fact that the project is still under development, this is a rather great PDF creator. I do, however, agree with vholmstedt that this needs a very simple introduction (and in some cases, better documentation).
