Editor's review of BCL EasyPDF Printer Driver

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: BCL EasyPDF Printer Driver 5

PDF files have become the standard way to distribute formatted documents online. BCL EasyPDF offers a quick way to translate other types of documents into that form, taking the print output from almost any application and turning it into a PDF. As is typical of programs that install as print drivers, its interface isn't accessible through the Windows Start menu. Instead, options for formatting and creating the PDFs appear after you choose the Print option inside other applications. From here, a user can adjust the quality and file size of embedded images, add security and watermarks, and select from a variety of paper sizes. In Microsoft Word, the program also installs a new toolbar that provides a few extra options linked to Word formatting. Unlike some other PDF creators, BCL EasyPDF doesn't provide advanced features such as a preview function or editing tool, but its output does a good job of mirroring the original documents. On the whole, we feel comfortable recommending this program as long as you don't need to do any substantial editing of documents during the conversion process.

  "Simple, accurate and faster then acrobat"

  by ohmanon on August 29, 2007

  Pros: While this product doesn't have all the bells and whistles of acrobat, it does exactly what it claims to do and does those things as good or better then acrobat. Conversions are faster and file size is smaller. Gives you all the functionality that 90% of acrobat users ever use. One thing to be aware of is that there is no interface as this application works as a printer. You can find the options in the printer properties on the print dialog.
