Specifications

PDFCreator is a free PDF converter tool that allows you to create a PDF file (Portable Document Format) from any Windows program.

If you can print your document, you can convert it to PDF with PDFCreator. And not only PDF, you can convert the document to other popular formats as well, like PNG, JPEG and TIF.

Creating PDF files with PDFCreator is easy. It works as a virtual printer and can convert anything to PDF that you can print. Simply print your document to the PDFCreator printer to start the conversion.

PDFCreator transforms the generic printer commands generated by programs into PDF commands and stores them in a PDF file. Use it like a printer in Word, StarCalc or any other Windows application.

The program converts every printable document to PDF and many other formats.

Changes in version 6.3.0:

PDFCreator Professional, PDFCreator Terminal Server and PDFCreator Custom now leverage the Avanquest PDF SDK for the modify actions.
PDF/A validation comes to PDFCreator Free, previously a business-only feature now unlocked by the engine migration.
Changes to a profile are now applied directly to active conversions.

Changes in version 6.2.2:

Fixed a setup crash that occurred when displaying release notes for all 6.2 versions. Please update PDFCreator 6.2.0 and 6.2.1 to version 6.2.2, as the earlier setups will crash when showing the 6.2.2 release notes.
Note: Apart from the bug fixes below, version 6.2.2 is functionally identical to 6.2.0 and 6.2.1.
Resolved an issue where files contained broken characters and unwanted empty pages, when their preview had not finished loading.
Custom: Fixed an issue that prevented conversions from the Windows context menu.
Custom: Updated the Images2PDF parameter for the installer.
Professional, Terminal Server and Custom Fixed the priority support on the last setup page.
COM Interface: Fixed an issue where converting to an existing document always merged files. The new default is to overwrite existing files, but this behavior can be changed via settings again.
Reviewed and updated the COM interface examples and documentation in the user guide.
