Publisher's description of doPDF Free PDF Converter
From Softland:Using doPDF you can freely convert documents to searchable PDF files from any Windows application. It installs as a printer driver and helps you generate the PDF files by simply selecting the "print" command from any application (you can convert your Word documents, Excel sheets, PowerPoint presentations, AutoCad drawings, company's reports, contracts, workflows, agreements, marketing plans, forms, products list, price list, charts, emails or web pages). The resulted PDF files can be viewed on any computer with a PDF viewer (reader) installed. doPDF has a lot of features that allows you to: modify the paper size, modify the resolution (from 72 to 2400 dpi), change page orientation (portrait, landscape), change the quality settings and lots more. The user interface supports localization, thus using doPDF in your own language (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Czech, Korean, Dutch, Japanese, Polish, Swedish, Portuguese, Brazilian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Chinese Simplified, Russian, Greek, or Hungarian).

- "Get basic print-to-PDF features"
- Reviewed on: February 11, 2009
- Version reviewed: doPDF Free PDF Converter 6.2.301
doPDF is a fairly basic program that's utterly bereft of features beyond its main function: to let users create PDF documents from within any program using the native Print option. Along with whatever printer you've got hooked up that shows up in the Print dialog box, doPDF adds an eponymous option. Select it, hit print, and you get the chance to change the name of the PDF you're creating. Hit enter and the PDF gets created, then automatically opens for you to proofread it.
Lacking any customization features and the control panel to manage them, doPDF is definitely meant for fast PDF creation with a minimum of fuss. It does support a multitude of languages, a minor feature except to those who don't use English as their primary language. One benefit of not having any major features is that doPDF takes up almost no RAM.
doPDF gives a simple output dialog box for altering the name and saving location of the PDF, and by clicking on Advanced Options, users can manually adjust the resolution of the PDF they're creating. However, unless you know precisely how resolution changes will affect the size of your PDF, this can be a bit tricky. doPDF is great for those not looking for a lot of a options, but for any project requiring a bit more finesse, it's worth looking at the competition.

Version: doPDF Free PDF Converter 6.2.301
"First time I downloaded it, it was absolutely great"
Pros: It was very clean looking and easy
Cons: Then I had to reformat my drive and tried to download other pdf converters: NitroPDF and Primo. I tried to get rid of it, it is impossible. Then I downloaded, uninstalled, installed, etc. doPDF. NitroPDF keeps on coming up.
Summary: I wish I could get doPDF without being bothered by the other converter program, i.e. saving documents as nitropdf.documents. They are acting like a virus. I can't use doPDF anymore, which is sad, very sad. So, when you buy doPDF, please do not try ... read more >>
