About PDFCreator

It is easy to create PDF files with PDFCreator. The program works as a virtual printer and can convert anything that can be printed. Select PDFCreator as the printer to start the process.As soon as the document has been printed, a PDFCreator window opens in which you can edit the title of the document, add metadata (subject, keywords, name of the author) and select the profile to be used. Optionally, you can adjust the conversion settings. Here you can optimize the file size and output quality. You can also activate advanced functions such as attaching virtual stamps or uploading the result via FTP. Then the created document is opened. If you have also installed PDF Architect - our PDF editor - this will be used. You can use the program for free to merge the PDF with others and to rotate or delete pages. Optionally, you can purchase additional modules with which you can edit text, convert the PDFs back to Word and recognize text in pictures with the OCR Engine .

Features

Create PDFs

If you can print your documents, you can also convert them to PDF with our freeware PDFCreator. And not just PDF: Other popular formats are supported, such as PNG, JPEG and TIF.

To secure

With PDFCreator you can secure your documents against unauthorized access and changes with 128 bit AES encryption. Password protection allows you to specify whether users can open, print, or edit the document.

Digital signatures

When you sign a document and have to send it around the world, it usually takes a lot of time. It's faster with digital signatures: Sign your documents electronically with PDFCreator. You no longer have to print the document and scan it signed.

Archiving with PDF / A

Nowadays, most companies and individuals want or need to keep their documents for years or even decades. The PDF / A standard ensures that the documents can still be read by specifying strict guidelines for the format. PDFCreator creates PDF / A files for your archive.

Profiles for easy access

If you have different scenarios in which you use PDFCreator, you need different settings for each one. PDFCreator has the profiles for this. You can create profiles for any situation and select them with one click. You can also have several PDFCreator printers and assign profiles to them.

Automatic saving

Auto-Save turns PDFCreator into a fully automatic PDF printer. You activate auto-save in the profile and define where the files are to be saved. Now every printed document is automatically saved - and this function is further enhanced by the combination with tokens (placeholders).

Tokens

PDFCreator supports tokens in many places. Tokens are placeholders for certain values, such as today's date, your user name or a counter that increases with each printed document.

Assemble and sort

Instead of converting your PDFs individually, you can collect several documents, change the order if necessary and put them together. You will then receive a single PDF with all documents.

COM Interface

PDFCreator contains a COM interface with which you can control the application from your program or script. You can wait for print jobs, choose where to save them, merge them with other print jobs. As far as we know, no other freeware allows this freedom.

Free and open source

PDFCreator is free and will remain so. And even more: the source text is open to everyone. You can download, adapt, and compile the code as long as your users have the same rights as you. You can find detailed information on the license page .

Multilingual

PDFCreator is available in many different languages ​​and we have a large developer community. If your language is not available, you can register at translate.pdfforge.org and translate PDFCreator into your language.

PDF editor on board

Even if PDFCreator is there to create PDFs from any document, most users will want to edit PDFs at some point. If you want, you can install our PDF editor - PDF Architect - together with PDFCreator. It allows you to view and edit PDFs for free. You can delete, rotate, and merge multiple PDFs. If you need even more, you can purchase additional modules , convert functions such as PDF to Word, edit text and images, or convert pages scanned with text recognition (OCR) into editable text.
