Adobe isn't for every situation, whether it's hardware (bricks) or software (PDFs). If you need to create PDFs that you can view and use inside of the many free standalone PDF viewers, there's a versatile, compact alternative in the form of printer-based PDF tools such as Doro PDF Writer. Doro adds an additional printer to your system, but instead of connecting to an external device, it formats your documents and saves them as PDFs. You create PDFs simply by selecting Print and choosing Doro from your print menu. Doro PDF Writer is freeware.

  • Wide Compatibility: Doro works with many versions of Windows, from the newest Windows 11 to older ones like Windows XP.
  • User-Friendly: To use Doro, just select it as your printer when you want to create a document.
  • Security Features:
    • You can secure your PDFs with 128-bit encryption.
    • You have options to add a password.
    • You can turn off the copy and paste and printing functions to keep your documents safe.

Doro PDF Writer is straightforward to use. You start any program that can print, like Microsoft Word, create your document, and choose Doro PDF Writer as your printer. Then, you just hit ‘Create’ to make your PDF file. This tool is great for everyone because it keeps the process simple. You don't see any ads or watermarks on your documents, which keeps them looking clean and professional.

Doro PDF Writer lets you easily change any document into a PDF with just a few clicks. This program is designed to keep your workflow smooth without cluttering your documents with ads or watermarks. During the PDF creation, Doro also allows you to add a title, subject, and author name to your document, which helps you organize and find your files later. You can also change security settings, making Doro a dependable choice for making PDFs, whether for personal use or work.

Doro PDF Writer installs normally, but it looks like a printer to your system, so you access its options a bit differently, beginning with its basic printer properties in Devices and Printers. Like other printer-based PDF clients, Doro's interface is essentially its print properties dialog. We simply pressed Print on a document, and Doro's tabbed interface appeared. We specified a name for our document and browsed to a destination for saving our PDFs. The General Settings let us add Keywords, Author, and Producer to our documents; specify passwords and 128-bit encryption; and select automatic updates. When we were ready, we pressed Create. Doro created and saved our document and also opened it inside our default PDF viewer, from which we could also save, print, and otherwise handle it normally, including selecting Print, choosing Doro, and resizing and altering the document. Doro also supports multiple interface languages.

Bottom Line

Doro PDF Writer creates PDFs quickly and easily from inside any Windows app that can open a printer. It's a great complement to PDF viewers that can't create documents, but it's also well worth having around even if you already have a full-featured PDF program. Unless you have a special requirement (like watermarks), clicking Print and using Doro PDF Writer is almost certainly going to be quicker than opening a big app.
