Write existing document as a PDF Document in the same way it would print the document to the printer.
To an application, the PDF Printer looks like a printer and allows the application to write a document as a PDF Document in the same way it would print the document to the printer.

No adware...
No virus (unless it show up later)
Relatively efficient. Offers the same continuity of other printer options
Cons
Does not automatically generate a screen view of the printed doc for evaluation.
Does not remember last print destination folder. You must select a destination from scratch each time... even if reprinting the same doc.
Trial version > 15 days
Summary
Had to get this for my back up Win 8.1 computer when my Win 10 computer crashed. Not as fast or efficient as MS version avail w windows 10. Faster than my old pdf995 (free version) but having to re-select a destination folder from scratch every time could become tedious. I'm convinced there will be better options out there, so its not something I will likely shell out money for once the trial period is over (unless the paid version fixes that).
Excellent product!

Pros
Create PDF files on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 in a split second.
Cons
Not as many features as in Adobe Acrobat.
Summary
Nice to have such a PDF Printer software at home and in the office.
I see nowhere Trojan or virus in the software.

LOL!
Completely fraudulent product accompanied with viruses.

Pros
I did manage to successfully print one .pdf file.
Cons
This program infiltrated my system with many viruses and unwanted programs.
After uninstalling programs, it downloaded more programs onto my computer without my permission.
It completely ruined my browser with pop-ups, fake ads, and fake programs.
Summary
DO NOT DOWNLOAD! THIS PROGRAM HAS VIRUSES!!! It will take forever to get your computer back to its original state after downloading.
The review by A_Victim is true. Do not believe the positive review that says it does not have viruses. This is probably a fake review by the creator of this horrible product.
This PDF printer even works with Windows 8.1

Pros
Curious, installed Windows 8.1 Preview on my laptop. But no luck to create a PDF document with Microsoft stuff.
Found this piece of software, it works. It should be an ideal PDF printer for Windows 8.1
Cons
Feature is a little bit limited. However, the speed of PDF generation is fast!
Summary
Great PDF printer for Windows 8.1
No Virus or Trojan
Pros
I scan the download with VirusTotal online service, and have not found a single virus or trojan. A_Victim does not give a positive review on this download.
Cons
Easy to use, no bundle, no adware. However, it only gives you 15-day evaluation.
Summary
Safe to download, easy to use.
Loaded Trojan
A_Victim
Pros
None whatsoever
Cons
This download, from this site, loaded a "virus scanner" that found hundreds of fake problems with my system. It was almost impossible to remove from my Windows 8 PC.
