"Gee, not a bad choice!"
Version: Virtual PDF Printer 1.01
Summary
I'v been looking for PDF creator for about a week or so, and I got this one. Download and install it, and it always works well. The only feature that I cannot locate in the software is batch conversion. After browsing the official website, I got the free batch converter on the Update section. Wow, how to say, perfect!

"Best Shareware/Freeware PDF Solution for Text"
Version: Virtual PDF Printer 1.01
Summary
This is the best shareware (freeware version make an extra bother line at the bottom of the document; registering removes this.)
The 2 things this has over CutePDF, which I also use, is that it's much faster (Cute PDF is really slow...my machine is 2.53 gHz, 2 gb RAM) and my favorite option - automatic file generation. You can select a folder on your HD and when it creates PDF, it will create them in that folder, using whatever name the software finds relevant (or making one up). This saves a lot of time, and if you sort by date in Windows Explorer, you get a chronological list of the created documents anyways.
The only thing that this program has a problem with, and it's a relatively big problem, is embedding graphics...sometimes it just "pulls a blank." Opening the document, you find a big filled in (usually gray) box where the graphic should go. It doesn't happen all the time, just some of the time. You may want to be wary though if you're creating a pdf and the presence of the document's graphics are really important.
It has no problem with text at all and the automatic file generation can't be beat. -

"Excellent shareware solution to PDF creation without using Adobe Acrobat"
Version: Virtual PDF Printer 1.01
Summary
It does what it says. Pretty easy to use. The best thing about this is that it supports images, tables, charts and whatever you can imagine, and it does not leave any watermark or nag bar like other PDF maker softwares. Unlike other shareware, it has not a sponsor page pops up every time you use it - excellent

"Create PDFs documents with great ease"
Version: Virtual PDF Printer 1.01
Summary
**Introduction
Documentation portability is quite an important feature that everyone using a computer whether based on Windows, Mac OS, or Unix\\Linux will be able to read a specific document that is on a company's website. Given all the different operating systems that are out there, there are different tools that can be used to create documents but not all of them will display the information in the same way
For example Windows has Microsoft Office suite and if a person on a Mac created a document on a different word processor (excluding the fact there exists Office X for Mac) that sometimes the documents would look funny on the other computer. With all that in mind, Adobe has created a standard format that can and is outputted the exact way that it was on any type of computer or even web browsers and that is the PDF.
The PDF is a great way to get information across to different users on different operating systems without hindering one group of people; let's face it, a company doesn't want to lose out on a potential client. What a PDF document is, is that it creates a general format for all computers and can be read exactly the same way on any computer, thus no one is being left out.
Albeit that there is one drawback to PDFs is that people sometimes find it annoying that if they are surfing a website that another program has to popup to read the information and also from my experience, it does take a while for the program to load up the document
But the question is how do you make PDFs? Adobe, the creator of the PDF, has its own tools, sometimes it's not what a person wants, or its too complicated. Today I am looking at a program that will take a current in whatever form (Word, Excel, pictures, etc...) and will create the PDF format for you easily.
**Functionality
Virtual PDF maker is a program that will convert any type of document into the standard PDF document that can be seen by all people, with the appropriate plug-in ofcouse.
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.
Virtual PDF printer works on the following method is that it creates a "Virtual Printer" in which you open a document file and print it out to the virtual printer and it asks you where you want to save the document, and after that step is done you've created a PDF document in a few easy steps. This program does not let you create a PDF off the bat from scratch; like Adobe Acrobat does but here you can create a PDF from an existing document for less.
**Conclusion
Virtual PDF Printer makes creating PDF files painlessly easy and can make that document viewable by anyone and everyone on no matter what operating system they use.
