About

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.
