PDF Creator Pro (formerly Vista PDF Creator)

When it comes to documents and their portability, many people agree that PDF is a lightweight format supported by most devices.

Whenever you need to convert documents to PDF in order to avoid compatibility issues, PDF Creator Pro might come in handy.

This application integrates as a virtual printer and creates PDF from any application or document that supports a printer.

Now you can easily create PDFs from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, Project, Visio, Publisher, Internet Explorer, AutoCAD, Lotus Notes, QuarkXpress or any file that has the "Print" option.

PDF Creator Pro is customizable and can create various output PDF files, whether you need a standard A4 document or a specific size.

You can choose to compress graphics in the PDF or convert all images to JPEG to reduce the size of your output document.

The application can automatically detect fonts and send them to your PDF, saving you the effort of matching the font of your original document with the one of your output file.

PDF Creator Pro allows you to add extensive information to your PDF file, such as title, subject, author and keywords.

The application can also secure your output file, by encrypting the document with different passwords for owner and users.

PDF Creator Pro helps you set permissions for a document, thus restricting certain privileges, such as selective printing, document signing, file merging and writing.

Although this program creates a PDF file, it is a standalone application, meaning it does not require Adobe Reader or other PDF reading software to fully function.
