This PDF converter impressed us with its speed: In our testing, a 100-page Word document took half a minute. The overall output quality is good, excepting some Web pages. The interface couldn't be simpler: The application installs as if it were a printer, so all you have to do is click the Print option in any program and select Virtual PDF Printer. At the same time, that interface model makes the program inconvenient for converting multiple documents at once. The program supports such features of the PDF format as encryption and document metadata such as author and keyword. It also lets you control document usage, such as disallowing modification. In a nice touch, if the program conflicts with some software you need, you can temporarily disable Virtual PDF Printer without uninstalling it. With its features and its price, this program aims at the professional market.Publisher's Description

"Speedy and reliable but not a free PDF creator"
Version: Virtual PDF Printer 2.01
Pros
I have tried different document types and with great ease I was able to convert it into the generic format of a PDF file. Anything from pictures to Word documents to graphs and what not can be converted on my Windows 8.
Cons
The program will convert any "printable" type of document into the standard PDF document that can be seen by all people. If a file type cannot be opened nor printed, this program will not convert it to PDF.
Summary
The software makes creating PDF files painlessly easy and can make that document viewable by anyone and everyone on no matter what operating system they use.

"Misses most text and graphics"
Version: Virtual PDF Printer 2.01
Pros
the download was free
Cons
Tested multiple times to convert receipts on Yahoo email to PDF vice hard copy print and the Virtual PDF Printer saved file was missing almost all of the text and graphics. It would grab the header and maybe a picture or word somewhere in the body, but that was all.
