Editors’ Review
doPDF Free PDF Converter makes generating PDF documents as hassle-free as possible, thanks to its deep integration into Windows. This software installs a virtual printer on your computer, which you can use to create PDF documents from any app that supports printing.
This tool is free for all users, including personal and business purposes. It allows you to create PDFs without spending a dime. doPDF works well on all modern Windows computers, supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. It can handle a variety of document types, converting almost any printable document into a PDF without needing additional software such as GhostScript.
The PDFs you create with doPDF are searchable, making it easier to find specific text and helping search engines index your documents. The software is available in 33 different languages, which makes it accessible to users around the world. Unlike other PDF creators, doPDF is light on resources, which means it doesn’t slow down your computer even when it's converting large documents.
One of the great features of doPDF is its focus on environmental sustainability. Instead of printing documents, you can create PDFs and save trees. You also have the flexibility to choose the quality of the PDF output. There are settings for creating high-quality PDFs for printing and smaller files for web use. You can also choose a balanced medium quality setting.
doPDF also keeps itself up to date with automatic updates. You can set these updates to happen daily, weekly, or monthly, or you can choose to turn off this feature. For users of Microsoft Office, doPDF offers an add-in during installation. This add-in allows you to convert documents to PDF with one click directly from Office applications.
Pros
- Deep integration: Installing itself as a printer on your PC, doPDF Free PDF Converter allows you to bring up the printing options by pressing Ctrl + P in every app that supports printing.
- Multiple page layout options: By accessing doPDF's printer properties you can set things like page orientation and size, and the printing resolution. Once you press "Print," a couple of additional options will appear, such as a save location, general PDF quality, and whether to embed fonts into the PDF.
- Fast and stable: In our tests, the software never crashed or slowed down, not even when generating multi-page PDFs. The average speed was around a second per five pages.
Cons
- Ads for novaPDF: During the printing process you'll see ads for novaPDF. Fortunately, they blend into the software really well and are displayed as tips and tricks, so you won't find them too bothersome.
- No way to generate encrypted PDFs: If you want to generate sensitive PDF documents, you should look for an alternative product, since this one does not offer document encryption.
Bottom Line
doPDF Free PDF Converter comes to your rescue, if you find yourself needing to create PDF documents from a multitude of applications and are tired of doing it differently for each app. With its straightforward and familiar mode of operation, you have nothing to lose by trying it.
