PDF-XChange Lite for Windows

Free PDF Creator for Everyday Use

PDF-XChange Lite is a no-cost utility that installs a virtual printer, allowing you to turn many common file types into PDF documents. It’s designed to be quick and straightforward, handling text documents, images and other formats without fuss.

Making PDFs Quickly

To generate a PDF, select the file you want to convert, choose PDF-XChange Lite from the list of printers or programs, and “print” to create a PDF. The process is fast and the resulting file can be opened with a PDF viewer right away. A help guide is included with the software package, but it isn’t bundled with the free download; fortunately, the interface is simple enough that most users won’t need it.

Who Should Try It

If you need a basic, free way to produce PDFs, PDF-XChange Lite is a convenient option. It doesn’t offer an extensive set of advanced capabilities, but its zero cost makes it a useful way to test the workflow before deciding whether to purchase the full, feature-rich edition.
