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.
