About

PDF stands for Portable Document Format and it was created by Adobe to ease document exchange. doPDF is a free PDF printer that does what the name suggests, creates PDF files. Once installed it will allow you to convert any type of printable documents to PDF files. doPDF installs itself as a virtual PDF printer driver so after a successful installation will appear in your Printers and Faxes list and also in the list of All Programs. Using doPDF you can convert to PDF in two ways: Print to PDF via the virtual printer driver doPDF. You would do this exactly as you print to a regular printer, just the result will be a PDF file, not a printed piece of paper. Using the doPDF Startup window. doPDF has an executable file (accessible from the start program group) that you can run in order to start a conversion wizard.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Interface is solid and well designed. Consistently produces good results. Good number of supported printers.
  • Fantastic interface, great little hardware in the AstroPrint box, frequent bug fixes and updates. If the idea of Octoprint sounds good to you, but the implementation was not so great, then AstroPrint is for you. It's easy enough to put on a raspberry pi, free if you do it that way too, and gives you 3d printer super powers. Print from iOS, print with a web browser, from anywhere, and watch and stop it too. Only thing you can't do remotely is clean off the print bed.

Cons

  • Setup has challenges. Cura Slicer included is limited in options. Customer Support is horrid. Expect a short, incomplete response that doesn't really try to help you solve your issue. It's pretty obvious, they are more interested in being done with you than really understanding or solving your problem. Would not recommend this for those not experienced with 3D printing or networking.
  • Honestly, there is nothing that they haven't fixed in the two or three years since I started using the software. I use it less now, but that's not their fault, I am just not 3d printing as much anymore. Only when I need something. Too busy with other stuff.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • doPDF has been my go-to print-to-pdf software for many years until my Windows 7 computer finally died in October 2021. Over the years, I tested several other similar products with less than stellar results. No matter what I created in MS Office, Open Office, CorelDraw, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, etc., doPDF faithfully reproduced the original file in pdf format. When I shared files with others, I never had any complaints about how the doPDF file rendered in whatever pdf reader the recipient was using. No matter how off-the-wall the fonts I embedded, fine screens, graduations, backgrounds, vector graphics, custom colors - all rendered exactly as the various programs with which they were created with zero issues. I did side-by-side printout comparisons of the original files versus the pdfs created by doPDF and was very pleased with the results.

Cons

  • There was nothing I did not like about doPDF. It did exactly what it was supposed to do - print to pdf. It's an elegant, streamlined software that consistently exceeded my expectations.
