If you’ve wanted to create pdf files but was put down by the price of the tools for creating such files, you may want to check doPDF, a free PDF converter for both personal and commercial use. Once installed, it will create a virtual printer driver that allows you to produce PDF files, from any application, by selecting the “Print” command.
Main benefits for using this free PDF converter:
- It’s free - PDF converter free for both commercial and personal use.
- 64-bit support - can be installed on 64-bit operating systems.
- No GhostScript - doesn’t require 3rd party programs to do PDF files (like GhostScript). This makes the setup file to be incredibly small compared to other free PDF converters.
- Customizable resolution - you can choose any resolution from 72 to 2400 dpi.
- Predefined/custom page sizes - choose a default page size (Letter, Legal, A4, A5, A6, …) or enter your own custom page size.
- Searchable PDFs - you can search for text within the created PDF file (and search engines will also index the text from the PDF).
- Multi-language - choose a language for the user interface from the 20 languages currently supported (credits).
- Do your part in saving the planet - instead of consuming paper to print your document, why not create a PDF file out of it and spare a couple of planet-saving trees?
- Barely uses any computer resources - compared to other free PDF converters, doPDF barely uses any memory or CPU resources when doing the actual conversion to PDF.
doPDF is available for Windows Vista, XP, 2008/2003/2000 Server (32 and 64-bit).
