Rather than installing a bunch of conversion software that is complicated and space consuming, Universal Document Converter provides a tightly integrated and easy to use conversion option.

Pros

Professional file formats: Universal Document Converter can create image files out of a wide range of file types. However, it goes beyond standards like Word and Excel files, to include certain professional file types that are more difficult to work with. For instance, it can convert AutoCAD files into PDF or JPEG format. This is a very useful feature if you need to see AutoCAD files or share them, but don't need them to be editable.

Comprehensive tutorials: Universal Document Converter includes a great step-by-step guide to using the program. It also includes a number of additional tutorials to walk you through the more advanced functions.

Documents combination: If you have several documents you want to combine into a single PDF or image file, you can do that with Universal Document Converter. This is great for creating large project files.

Cons

Limited number of formats: Universal Document Converter can only export files to eight formats: PDF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, PCX, DCX, and BMP. If you need additional supported formats, you're going to need another conversion program.

Bottom Line

If you want end files that are in one of the supported formats, this is a great app. The ability to work with AutoCAD documents and to combine multiple files into a single file are both very useful in professional settings.

Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Universal Document Converter 6.5.

Developer's Description

Universal Document Converter enables Windows users to save any documents as a PDF or image file such as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, PCX, DCX, or Bitmap. Universal Document Converter software is based on virtual printer technology. Thanks to that, converting text documents, technical drawings, presentations, and worksheets is no more complicated than printing on a desktop printer. Universal Document Converter installs its own toolbar to Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Excel. This feature gives users the ability to convert documents to PDF or image files with just two mouse clicks. Universal Document Converter is able to unite several documents into a single multipage PDF or TIFF. Universal Document Converter is also enabled for remote usage. Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop, Microsoft Terminal Services, Microsoft Virtual PC, Citrix environment, and VMWare Server are all supported. Universal Document Converter is able to be used as a network printer to delegate the processing of documents to the print-server. The Universal Document Converter package includes a public API and example codes for it. Thanks to this, 300+ system integrators and independent developers use it in their solutions.
