Version: PDF ReDirect 2.5.2
Pros
Takes anything you can print and creates a PDF. You can combine multiple documents into one PDF, encrypt a document, and much, much more.
Cons
Can't think of any.
Summary
An essential utility. Sending documents via PDF is replacing faxing, and PDF Redirect makes it simple. Wouldn't be without it.

"Reliable, Easy, User Intuitive"
Version: PDF ReDirect 2.5.2
Pros
Been using this program for a couple years and won't do without it. I count on PDF ReDirect to document and archive all my business files and it's never let me down. It works like a printer driver. Hit print, choose PDF ReDirect as the "printer" and it saves the file in a wink. Scan a file the same way.
Cons
None that I can find.

Summary
PDF Redirect doesn't offer many options, but it does let you generate quality PDFs in rapid time, and that conform to ISO standards. Simply open the document you wish to convert, select PDF Redirect as your (virtual) printer and that's about it. An excellent Help function will soon have you tweaking a system that also offers encryption features as well as the ability to merge PDFs. You can amend print output settings BEFORE conversion, but not after. I particularly appreciate the lack of any watermarks.
PDF Redirect is not a viewer and you do still need Adobe or some alternative, but for generating PDFs, it's hard to beat. MS could do worse than incorporate this software into Office. -
"Good function, but interface could be better."
Version: PDF ReDirect 2.5.2
Pros
The drag and drop merge user interface will let you combine several existing PDF files. However, there's also the option to use the printer driver. This works out to be a nice way to pick selective pages of an existing PDF file and put them in a new PDF file.
Cons
User interface is a bit clumsy. Program gets stuck once in a while, beyond the ability to respond to a cancel. Has to be killed with Windows task manager.
Summary
Well worth having.

Cons

"Excellent Software"
Version: PDF ReDirect 2.5.2
Pros
I needed to encrypt PDF files to send as email attachments and it did exactly what I needed.
Cons
None. Worked great.
Summary
Nice piece of software. It does what it advertises to do. Nothing more, nothing less. Excellent.

Summary
It works as advertised!

"Terrific PDF Printer - more than I expected!"
Version: PDF ReDirect 2.5.2
Pros
- Combines PDFs from different sources (document, then CAD drawing, then jpg rendering, then excel cost estimate).
- Specify the way the PDF opens: with/without toolbars, full screen, navigation buttons...
- Up front, easily seen and understood quality settings for images and page rotation. No diving into sub-sub-sub menus to find a setting.
- Works as well as the expensive Adobe bloat-ware. But it's not only free; it doesn't take 100% of the computer's effort to do its job.Cons
None found - really. And I've looked!
Summary
Was just looking for a better solution than PDF 995 that I bought years ago. This is a *MUCH* better solution!
