This tiny application is efficient and reliable despite the demo version slapping a watermark on generated documents. Go2PDF installs a PDF "printer" in your computer's Control Panel after only a few seconds-long installation. The program also includes a good set of optional settings, including fonts, page format, PDF resolution, and even encryption. During testing, we found that Go2PDF was able to take a previously created text file and "print" it to PDF in a matter of seconds. The trial version does add a watermark to created documents, but such a convenient and speedy performance overshadowed any frustration we might have had with the resulting document. Overall, this is a simple and streamlined PDF converter that works far better than other more complicated, feature-heavy options on the market.

What’s new in version 3.5

Free PDF creator for my windows 8
SandyOnMacJuly 28, 2013
Pros
I installed this program on my laptop with Windows 8, this free PDF converter just works as expected; the freeware helped me create PDF out of my QuarkXpress.
Cons
Feature limited
Summary
Great app! Recommend!
Just awful.

Pros
None at all.
Cons
Created a garbled pdf from a simple html file (the only text that could be read was the ad it placed on every single page), and now I can't uninstall it.
Summary
I can't believe how many download sites are giving this three stars. It's worse than useless, because not only didn't it work on the document I tried it on, now I'm wasting valuable time trying to figure out how to remove it... if I'd only searched a bit more before I tested it, I would have learned this, as it seems queries about how to uninstall go2pdf are quite popular on Google. Ugh.
very rudimentary

Pros
possibly works with some standard/simple applications and, hey, it's free, so, if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys
Cons
did not even work with microsoft imaging applications, plus very hard to uninstall, you can download the Go2PDF Removal Tool Go2PDF_Remover.exe from a hidden update site (through Google), but not sure what it exactly does
Summary
Works well for most User applications
Hoppy2February 1, 2007
Pros
It converted a word document to PDF simply and easily
Cons
Not sure if the printer folder is the best place for the program to be accessed from.
Summary
Does what it claims, quick and well.

Pros
No complaints. Downloaded it, ran it, used it and it worked! Wonderful!
Cons
None.
Summary
It can't be uninstalled
JolileChatSeptember 11, 2006
Pros
It creates PDFs.
Cons
You get a PDF document with ads in every page. <p>It can't be uninstalled. You can erase the printer, but a lot of junk will be left inside the HD.
Summary
Poor Product
rajuonlineJuly 10, 2006
Pros
None
Cons
No uninstallers are provided supposedly because it installs as a printer driver. Makes the program look even more suspicous. Personally I could not successfully convert a single file. Microsoft Word crashed when I converted from there. I would recommend that you do not use this program. Similar and better products that I have used are PrimoPDF and CutePDF. Give them a try instead.
Summary
Does what it should, simple to install and use, small size
baakmanMay 21, 2006
Pros
I needed a virtual printer to test printer commands with Delphi and make sure the outcome would have looked as it should. This program was ideal, as I didn't have to waste any ink or paper. Plus it's free :-)
Cons
Summary
Handy
RagetApril 13, 2006
Pros
Adds a pdf printer so it can convert things to pdf, any program that allows printing
Cons
Not fully customisable in regards to quality, size etc.
Summary
Does what it says but not much else
godofoddMay 16, 2005
Pros
Quick and easy to install, intuitive to use.
Cons
Places ad on finished product. One would be better off using PDF995 (from pdf995.com) as it gives you a browser pop-up ad after pdf is completed (pdf file is ad-free).
