Pros
There are no pros for this program, or for any like it either!
Cons
I am so sick and tired of hearing the PDF creation scam!
All this program does is CONVERT a document into a PDF using the print command.
A true PDF CREATOR is a program where you can write the text, insert bookmarks, headers, footers, page numbers, security, etc, and then save that document as a COMPLETE PDF.
Programs which "create" PDFs using the print command only create an IMAGE of a document, but not a true full featured PDF.
So, in fact, programs like this are only converting a written document into a PDF image.
And what is terrible is the fact that there are thousands of these fake PDF "creators", and this makes it almost impossible to find a real editor which creates a true PDF document.

Pros
Fast easy to use
Cons
Doesn't render colors of fonts from Publisher or Word or Wordperfect. It will render what it thinks on downsampling. It also thinks that it will duplex print. Don't understand that.
Summary
Needs some work to make it a good product

Pros
Free, installs fast, works well initially
Cons
Only worked the day I installed it; next day adware popped up with each print and then the print window would crash. Uninstalled.
Summary
Unreliable. Keep looking.

Pros
To convert only, this program is recommandable.
Cons
Trial to scan. After 10 pages you have to wait 15 minutes until the automatic optimizatiion ends. After scanning in a new document I miss more often parts of the original. The OCR is the old MODI from MS Office 2007. It's absolutly not timely.
Summary
If you want convert only. Its OK. If you want scan you have to have patience.

Pros
None that I could see.
Cons
The program did not run on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine. Execution began, but then the program hung. I thought that this might be a replacement for Cute PDF Writer, but I quickly switched back.

Pros
Fairly straightforward installation, and running it. I had neither nag screen nor my default printer being changed as others indicated; but maybe I didn't test it long enough.
Cons
Wasn't sure if it didn't always ask me for topic, author, etc.
Summary
At least would be fine for casual user with intermittent need for this function.

Pros
Couldn't find any, despite having re-tried several times
Cons
1 - Didn't work for me!
2 - Info says FREE, it is not, just a trial version
3 - And my default printer got unmarked, w/o my opinion...
Summary
No thanks! (couldn't find yet an uninstaller, not in the proper folder, but will find it and use it a.s.a.p.)

Not Free? They are f'ing liars?
Thanks. I will avoid this like the plague.
Pros
It makes good multi-page PDF documents and the Print to PDF option does what it says on the tin. It was fairly straight forward to install and worked almost as described.
Cons
Rather invasive. Installing as a printer wouldn't be bad if it didn't seem to set itself as the default printer every time I used it. It wasn't free and the makers really shouldn't be nagging to pay for it each time we open it to use it.
Summary
A good way to create a PDF document from multiple paged docs but annoying that it isn't really free. It would be better if it had a 30 uses or 30 day option and a cheaper upgrade price, and so far I've not found it usable enough and instead have put a genuinely free one on my system called "doPDF" which works identically and doesn't take over the default printing nor does it nag about buying it. So I voted with my feet so to speak.
