Editors’ Review
PDF is a popular file format that works well for all kinds of text- and image-based documents. Unfortunately, though, PDFs haven't always been easy to create. PDF24 Creator makes the process of creating a PDF as easy as printing. We've seen other programs that do the same thing, and while PDF24 Creator didn't totally knock our socks off, it stands up well to other basic PDF programs.
With PDF24 Creator, managing PDF documents becomes a breeze. You can merge several documents into one, making organization easier. If you need to adjust the layout of your documents, the software lets you rotate, remove, or add pages. It also provides a quick way to preview and edit your PDFs immediately after creating them.
To keep your documents secure, PDF24 Creator includes options to encrypt, decrypt, and sign your files. If you're dealing with large files, the software can compress them to reduce their size without losing quality. You can also personalize your PDFs by adding watermarks or stamps.
For those who work with various file types, PDF24 Creator supports conversion to and from PDF format. It also allows you to customize your print settings with multiple PDF printer options, depending on your specific needs. The software has built-in PDF reading capabilities and text recognition tools, thanks to the Tesseract OCR engine.
The process of using PDF24 Creator really is just like printing: the program appears as an icon along with the your other installed printers, and you need only select the program from the print menu of virtually any program; if it's something you can print, it's something you can turn into a PDF. Click print and the program's menu will pop up, letting you select the desired PDF quality and whether you want to show, save, edit, or e-mail the PDF. The PDF editor was somewhat confusing and didn't seem to have a lot of editing features, so anyone who really wants to customize their PDF files will want to choose another program. But for a basic print-to-PDF program, PDF24 Creator works just fine. The e-mail feature automatically opens your default e-mail program and attaches the newly created PDF, which couldn't have been easier. PDF24 Creator loses points for not having a Help file that we could find, but most of the program's features are easy enough to figure out without guidance.
If your documents aren’t printing correctly, follow these steps to fix the issue:
- Clear the print queue: Look for and remove any stuck print jobs.
- Check the printer connection: Make sure the PDF printer is connected to the correct port. If it's not, here’s how to fix it:
- Open the control panel on your Windows computer.
- Go to 'Printers'.
- Right-click the PDF24 printer and choose 'Printer Properties'.
- Go to the 'Ports' tab and check the printer port.
Bottom Line
PDF24 Creator installs a desktop icon without asking but uninstalls cleanly. We recommend this program to all users.
