CNET Editors' review
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.

"Simple - not working with special characters(Romanian)"
Version: Virtual PDF Printer 1.01
Pros
The most easiest way to use PDF creator. The installation is very easy, is small, very little memory usage.
Cons
When using romanian characters, the document "prints" useless. These makes it not worthy for any computer user that wants to use it without having to pass all over the documents. Uninstalled in 5 min.

""prints" gibberish"
Version: Virtual PDF Printer 1.01
Pros
installs fast. didn't work though
Cons
I tried to save an html page as pdf. The pdf document was in complete gibberish, and even the page layout was warped. Not sure if that's part of the free trial, but it was useless to me, so I 've uninstalled it.

"WOULD NOT INSTALL"
Version: Virtual PDF Printer 1.01
Summary
When I double click the install file (virtualpdfprinter.exe), a message pops up which says "This program requires Windows version 5.0 or later", whatever that means. I have Windows98SE and the program is supposed to work with all Windows versions. I've tried restarting the computer several times and I downloaded the install file a second time in case the first one was corrupted.
