Verdict: Avoid the expense of Adobe Acrobat with this free PDF tool

The PDF file format is pretty much a standard for sharing documents over the internet. Smaller than sending a scan, it still ensures that what is opened at the other end looks as it did when it was created.

PDFCreator looks just like a printer driver to Windows, so it will work with any program that can print. Simply select the normal print option and PDFCreator starts automatically to select the title and other options.

PDF documents can be sent in an email immediately or saved to the hard disk for future reference.

There are lots of options for changing the quality of the final documents and it is possible to use the security options to prevent the contents of document being copied or printed.

PDFCreator 0.9 contains a few small improvements, including some hidden features that are now accessible through the user interface. There is also a toolbar for Internet Explorer, which enables you to create PDFs of a website with a single click.
