Create PDF

Documents under the PDF extension are not your regular documents, at least in the sense that they can’t be easily modified, and provide extra security. Even viewing them requires a dedicated app, but if you need to bundle some text inside this particular format, programs like Create PDF provide the means to quickly accomplish this.

You can go ahead and check out the set of features from the moment you finish downloading it, because the application doesn’t take you through a setup process. Registries remain intact, which means you don’t have to worry about affecting the health status of the target PC. However, you do need to make sure that .NET Framework is on your computer, because it’s a required component.

The main window might leave you scratching your head for a while, not because of any peculiar looks, but there’s only a large text field to write in, and incredibly little buttons and menus. Shortly after running it, you find out that text needs to be manually written down, with no possibility to open any kind of document, not even PDF.

As such, your only method of adding content to the new PDF file is to paste text from other editors, or write down directly on the provided canvas. However, pasting is done without any formatting options, because the application doesn’t support any. The only customization options at your disposal are three different size specifications.

The application can only be used to create simple PDF files containing text. Unfortunately, you can’t add pictures, or any other visual elements. The canvas itself is also rather frustrating to work in, because pages are not delimited, and there’s no preview option before exporting, meaning you have to completely rely on what the application does.

All things considered, we can say that Create PDF isn’t quite the editor you’re hoping to find. The simplicity lets you quickly accommodate, but it also shows the various missing features which make a neat PDF. No document related options can be added, and the export is a simple file containing plain text under this particular format.
