PDF2EXE

PDF2EXE is a software compiler able to create EXE files out of PDF items. This way, you can distribute documents on any computer even if Adobe Acrobat Reader or another third-party PDF viewer is not installed.

The tool reveals a clean design that allows you to preview the content of the PDF files directly in the main window. You may switch to a presentation or full screen view mode, zoom in or out of the pages, rotate pages to different angles, go to the next, previous, first, or last page, as well as jump to a specific page.

The program is also able to reveal document properties, such as filename, author, title, subject, keyword, creator, producer, PDF version, page size, total number of pages, encryption, security method, user/master password, and document accessibility.

PDF2EXE gives you the possibility to export documents to EXE or ZIP file format by simply providing the filename and saving directory.

There are several customization parameters which allow you to personalize the output EXE file. You can make the application fit the page width after loading PDF data and disable several actions, namely save PDF and/or EXE to TXT, extract PDF from EXE, save PDF and/or EXE to an image file, print PDF and/or EXE, show document properties, and activate full screen mode.

What’s more, you can remove the status bar and toolbar, maximize windows after loading PDF pages, launch slideshow upon initialization, disable Options menu, compress and encrypt PDF data before converting it to EXE, enable password protection, set your company’s website URL, as well as prevent the generated EXE file from modification.

All things considered, PDF2EXE makes it really easy for you to transform PDF files into executable files so you can quickly share them with your friends or colleagues. There’s also a portable version, Portable PDF2EXE, available for download if you want to skip the installation steps.

If you are on the hunt for advanced options, such as EXE title and icon customization options, and limitations applied to the number of times PDF/EXE files can be viewed and printed, you can try the Professional edition of the utility.
