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 :doPDF is a PDF converter for both personal and commercial use. Using doPDF you can create searchable PDF files by selecting the Print command from virtually any application. With one click you can convert your Microsoft Excel, Word or PowerPoint documents or your emails and favorite web sites to PDF files. doPDF installs itself as a virtual printer driver so after a successful installation will appear in your Printers and Faxes list. To create PDF files, you just have to print your documents to the doPDF pdf converter. Open a document (with Microsoft Word, WordPad, NotePad or any other software), choose Print and select doPDF.
It will ask you where to save the PDF file and when finished, the PDF file will be automatically opened in your default PDF viewer. Version 5.0.219 is a bug fixing release.

Version: doPDF free pdf converter 5 .0. 219
Pros: Free
Cons: At least 3 of the 5 ratings are suspicious... they only rated one product (this one).
When trying to print a 4 page Word doc, DoFDF gives a memory error. I have 2 MB and Word is the only app running. With a one-page doc, after DoFPD completes, and when I try to open the PFD doc, I get an Adobe reader error message saying this type of doc isn't supported and/or is incorrectly formatted.
Lastly, when you try to generate a pfd, you are bothered by an advertisement wanting you to purchase another of their products.
