Softpedia Editor's Review for Win2PDF
|
Easy to use and affordable PDF creation tool
Written by Elena Opris on December 22nd, 2011
Win2PDF is a simple software that allows you to create PDF files from any Windows printable applications.
This tool can be accessed once you initiate the "Print" option in any program that supports it.
You can configure "Printing Preferences" when it comes to orientation (portrait, landscape or rotate landscape), but you can also print on both sides (select "Flip on short edge").
Furthermore, you can select the paper source and color (grayscale or colored), but you can also access advanced settings to set the paper size (e.g. letter, note, tabloid, statement, envelope), graphic resolution (from 72 to 1440) and scaling.
Once you hit the "OK" button, you can set the output name and destination of your new PDF file. Plus, there's an option to send the PDF via email, and to access "PDF Options" on the bottom left corner of the file browser in which you can enable URL detection and optimize image file size.
The program uses a low amount of system resources, comes with a well-defined help file and works smoothly. We haven't encountered any problems during our tests, except for the fact that the tool cannot convert some special characters found in other languages except English.
Furthermore, you cannot edit the document summary, password-protect the PDF file or add a watermark (options found in “Advanced Settings”), without purchasing the full version of Win2PDF.
Nevertheless, Win2PDF is a very good tool for converting any printable document to a PDF file. It's easy to handle by both first-time and experienced users.
