Description
Discover the smallest, quickest, and most versatile free PDF viewer and editor available today. You can create, view, modify, annotate, perform OCR, and digitally sign PDF documents, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Below, you'll find a detailed list of the primary features of PDF-XChange Editor. Impressively, over 70% of the functionalities offered by PDF-XChange Editor can be accessed without needing a license. The features that do require a license are clearly labeled, and utilizing them without one will result in a 'trial' watermark on any output. For those seeking more capabilities, PDF-XChange Editor Plus provides extra tools for crafting and editing fillable forms, creating personalized dynamic stamps, and includes an Advanced OCR plugin for enhanced text recognition. This makes PDF-XChange Editor a comprehensive solution for all your PDF needs.
Description
PDFCreator automates document output in Windows-based business environments, covering the whole creation pipeline from conversion to delivery. It converts print output from any application into PDF, JPG, PNG, or TIF via a virtual printer, so existing workflows don’t need to change.
Businesses use PDFCreator to streamline repetitive document tasks: output is captured, formatted, named, secured, and routed according to configurable profiles. Typical use cases include automated report generation, batch processing of large document sets, and compliant document delivery in regulated industries.
Key capabilities include encryption, password protection, digital signatures, watermarking, MSI-based deployment, Group Policy support, and centralized profile management. It works with Word, Excel, browsers, ERP platforms, and essentially any Windows application that can print.
PDFCreator is available as a free edition for individual, non‑commercial use, alongside three paid editions tailored to business, terminal server, and broader enterprise deployments.
