PDFCreator is a simple-to-use software application that enables you to transform any printable document into PDF format. It gets installed as a virtual printer and features a couple of standard options that can be easily figured out.

After a brief and uneventful setup procedure that doesn't require special attention, you can access PDFCreator by launching the Print function of any program that supports it.

It's possible to select the output optimization mode, edit document properties and security settings by applying a password, select the PDF compatibility level, as well as modify the default output directory if you're not satisfied with the default location.

In addition, PDFCreator can be asked to automatically open the new document as soon as it's made. You can visit this location in Windows Explorer without leaving PDFCreator's interface.

The software application worked smoothly throughout our testing, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error messages. It carried out PDF conversion jobs rapidly while remaining light on system resources, so it doesn't hamper computer performance.

On the other hand, there are a lot of utilities out there that offer the same features as PDFCreator for free. We must also take into account the fact that the tool hasn't been updated for a long time. Nevertheless, you can give PDFCreator a shot to see if it meets your expectations concerning a PDF printer.
