About

PDFCreator automates document output for Windows-based business environments, handling the full creation pipeline from conversion to delivery. It converts print output from any application into PDF, JPG, PNG, or TIF using a virtual printer driver, with no changes to existing workflows required. Businesses use PDFCreator to automate repetitive document tasks: output is captured, formatted, named, secured, and routed based on configurable profiles. Use cases include automated report generation, batch document processing, and compliant document delivery in regulated industries. Key capabilities: encryption, password protection, digital signing, watermarking, MSI deployment, GPO support, and centralized profile management. Compatible with Word, Excel, web browsers, ERP systems, and any Windows print-enabled application. Available in a free edition for individual, non-commercial use and three paid editions for business, terminal server, and enterprise deployments.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • None. I found nothing useful in this product! I suggest you remove it from your site. It's a trap just a trap
  • I 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.
  • Convenient, simple, excellent files.
  • Everything works great. I basically use it to store all my documents in PDF format especially documents that I don't want to be changed.
  • You must have it, all necessary PDF tools. There are shortcuts with the right mouse button, and many options to save the pdf file.
  • I can ensure that my papers in: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, jpg are received as it was sent, is an automated acknowledgment of receipt.
  • This 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.
  • It is free, simple, easy to use and good quality output is obtained. It is helping a lot to all types of people who need pdf documents. Its a great app.
  • Been 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.
  • Used 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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The price and team licensing. Web based platform works flawlessly for most important major functions - e-signatures, pdf highliights, forms, templates. The one time I needed to email customer support with a question - they responded within minutes...with an actual answer (not an automated message).
  • PDFfiller is an online editor of PDF. User-friendly software with very intuitive features. Saves lots of time and energy by automating the workflow process. Within a minute we can complete our whole process of documentation. It also allows to add textbox or add text in a PDF format document. Very much reliable and Secure software.
  • Easy to use Edit or convert PDF Cloud Based - Always online Supports file import from cloud solutions Integrates with multiple 3rd party softwares E Signature feature for document signing Follows High security standards

Cons

  • I did not find their phone based app for scanning documents to pdf worked very well. I prefer other free versions of pdf scanners.
  • This software is very easy to understand and use. No cons.
  • Expensive pricing - there are alternatives with free or cheaper plans. OCR scanning feature needs improvement.
