CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on February 11, 2009
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.
Publisher's description
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).

Version: doPDF Free PDF Converter 6.3.308
"Perfect!!! Do it and Move On"
Pros: Quick, Simple, Clean, WORKS!
Cons: None. I don't need anything but a PDF when I use this product and that's exactly what I get. Its perfect!
Summary: I don't want or need the extra bloat of products which CLAIM to do a lot of fancy manipulation with a doc to create a PDF. I just want the PDF created so I can attach and send it in an email. doPDF does that and lets me move on. Kudos!

Version: doPDF Free PDF Converter 6.3.308
"Compact, effective and freeware"
Pros: doPDF is what I had been looking for to make my PC to do what my Mac does by default: to turn any document to a PDF. It has no limitation such as watermark, limited number of pages or the like. You simply choose doPDF virtual printer in "Print as..".
Cons: I have not had any problem with this product so far.

Version: doPDF Free PDF Converter 6.3.308
Pros: When you want your Word document (or whatever) turned into a fancy pdf, you just "print it" and save to the right folder... that's it. I never expected more and I got exactly what I wanted. That's all folks :-)
Cons: This fileld would be hard to fill... I'm not going to explore PDF FC to find its weaknesses. I'll keep converting.
Summary: Install - forget - use - enjoy.
