Version: PDF ReDirect 2.5
"Does one good thing my other one won't."
Pros: It can merge existing pdf documents, and the process is user friendly. Not as impressive: its created .pdf docs. They are OK, but only that. My other free virtual-printer pdf creator, Bullzip, is more like excellent (but won't merge files).
Cons: I would love to see the ability to extract a page or range of pages from an existing pdf. I kind of hoped it was in this and just not well described... nope.
Summary: This is decent freeware with a desirable merge-documents capability. Together with a better pdf creator, Bullzip, it rounds out a user's box of tools.

"Works for me"
Pros: It's a worthy substitute for Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or earlier. It loads up quickly and image quality is good. For what it is, I am very happy with it.
Cons: It does not offer the flexibility and functionality of Acrobat 7.0 and above: pages cannot be deleted, inserted or substituted, nor can disk storage space be minimized by compression. Images cannot be watermarked.
Summary: I appreciate the concept, and the availabilty, of this program. With the cost of Adobe products never seeming to become more reasonable, home users are forced to look for free or low-cost substitutes. PDF ReDirect 2.5 does what it is supposed to do - provide clear, sharp .pdf images of documents originally created in other formats - quickly, efficiently and without problems. The software seems to be extremely stable. Based on my experiences, I would recommend this product.

"Great software."
Pros: I downloaded PDF reDirect to create PDFs out of Word documents. It works like a dream. It is possible to control the quality of the PDF created, which means it's also possible to create very small files. I can't believe how small the programme is.
Cons: None discovered.
Summary: Why bother with cumbersome, expensive programmes?

"Easy to use! I was able to convert jpeg to pdf."
Pros: Easy to use interface. Conversion from jpeg to pdf take less than a minute. It is great tools to have.
Cons: If you want to make a single page pdf file, make sure to exit the PDF reDirect program before trying to convert another file. Or else you would end up with multiple pages in one pdf file.
Summary: Easy to use! The installation is quick and easy. Read the helper guide. It tells you exactly what you need to do to convert a file to pdf. I was able to convert jpeg to pdf with no hassle. I love this software.

"Great product. Works exactly as advertised"
Pros: Installed without a hitch. Worked perfectly first time out. Exactly what I was looking for.
Cons: Can't see any downside to this product.
Summary: I am not much on freeware/shareware, but all I needed was something to convert word docs to PDF once in a while and couldn't see paying for Adobe. This version of PDF ReDirect 2.5 fit the bill. If I see a need for more features, I would upgrade to the paid version. I don't usually bother to come back and write a review, but this time it was worth the effort. Great product!!!

"Great software, does what it claims and more!"
Pros: Fast, easy to use, flexible. Installs cleanly without need to reboot.
Cons: None that I found.
Summary: I used this for years on Windows XP and just installed the latest version on W7. It improve even. I love the merge feature which allows me to produce documents from different sources. I could even mark several images, send them to the printer and it would merge them automatically.
