Best PDF printer driver I've ever seen
ipdsprinterMay 12, 2012
Pros
On Windows XP Professional 32-bit the PDF printer driver converts 3D Design drawings PDF files extremely fast.
Cons
On Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit the PDF print driver creates PDF files a little bit slowly.
Summary
Anyway, it's a quality PDF creation program. Thumb up!
Do NOT install this product!

Pros
light wt effective
Cons

Summary

MomusJuly 21, 2006
Pros
I did not use AcroPDF. But their web page clearly states that it is free for "any individual, educational institution, charity or humanitarian organization". So Cnet license line should read: License: free for unlicensed (non-commercial) use Note: Cnet forces to choose a star rating to post any rewiew, even a correction like this one. So I gave 5 star for free un-license (and 0 stars to Cnet for this :-)
