What do you like best about PDFCreator?

It could help in splitting the desired page from a bunch of PDF pages; it also helps in merging the multiple PDF files into a single file. We can use PDF and JPG files to combine and convert them into PDF files easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

It is difficult to order the page into the desired one while merging them as it changes to some sequential file name instead of the original file name. So it is tricky to identify the exact file which one needs to come first and last. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFCreator solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this software to split my desired pages from the bunch of documents then again merge them into a single for our invoice processing purpose, and we really love this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about PDFCreator?

Editing PDFs with the professional plan is why I purchased it in the first place. I wanted a solid PDF editor, and while it's only mildly clumsy to do things like drawing shapes and arrows, it is still a pretty solid pdf editor, generator, converter, splicer and all of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

Printing. And customer support. And the way the software still bothers you with "upgrade" notifications because you can still buy their OCR functionality. Which I eventually needed, and I figured, why not? Well, I paid for the thing, and didn't receive it. But that's not even the reason I've completely given up on this software until today. It's the printing that completely ruined it for me. Usually, it takes me 3 or 4 tries to get a document to print correctly, because I have to fiddle with the printing options, like "autorotate", "centering", "adjust", landscape or portrait. Well today I tried 7 different ways to print my stupid document, and still couldn't get it to print right. Whatever the preview is displaying is complete bullshit, you have to do trials and errors, lots of errors, before you usually can get something good. And using the same options across different documents does not work. Same options don't produce the same output with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFCreator solving and how is that benefiting you?

Editing pdfs in place works nicely. Removing lines, adding others, changing colors and adding texts, all that works fine. I've used it to edit technical drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDFCreator?

I like the ease of use and that you can turn almost any document or picture into a PDF document, which in some instances it is easier to edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

Sometimes the merging of documents take awhile, and if documents get out of order, it takes some time to sort through them again. Also, sometimes the saving spot defaults to a random folders instead of the desktop or the document folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFCreator:

Take your time to check page numbers and document orders before merging, as well as where the document with be saved. Everything else should go smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFCreator solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use PDFcreator to convert documents into a PDF in order to use another program to edit, add notes or highlights. This makes the changes more clear to read and easy to edit and revise if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDFCreator?

It is a tool that creates PDF and edits Files, its interface is intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

I cannot give a very high score because the tool is made with the intention of creating good PDF files, but it is very annoying when I want to open a file quickly and it takes time to enter the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFCreator:

It has good features, only improve speed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFCreator solving and how is that benefiting you?

I liked that it could have a new simple interface, but the ideal is that its functionality is 100% fast, I cannot wait more than 5 minutes to start creating a file, after created I want to visualize and spend more than 20 minutes to open the file is tedious.

What do you like best about PDFCreator?

Among my favorite functions is to find a virtual printer created automatically by program. This is very convenient to use on a wide variety of programs from which it is not always easy to save information. By printing the pdf now I can save myself and catalog the various information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

I would like to have in the same program, also the function of merging pdf. Sometimes I find it a useful function, but not being able to use this program I have to resort to other methods. it would be a useful implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFCreator:

No annoying pop-ups that open on their own, which other competitors do Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFCreator solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a virtual printer on my PC that is very easy to use. Another strong point is that they do not print any waterprints on my file, so I would say absolutely ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDFCreator?

I really like this computer tool because it is the best software to transform and save my PDF files, without complications. I use this application a lot, with all my files, especially documents, as I prefer to save them in PDF rather than another format like .doc. I also usually save my presentations and all the images I use at work, as they are lightweight and easy to share via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

It would really be an exaggeration to point out flaws in PDFCreator, due to my experience with it, it is likely that some very specific or intensive uses might encounter some problem, especially related to heavy and high-definition images, but this is expected from any PDF tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFCreator:

I recommend this tool to the entire community of professionals who read me around the world, with total safety and confidence, as it is the BEST option for creating new documents, it is very easy to use and has many excellent features to satisfy a variety of needs and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFCreator solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems that are solved daily at the bank where I work include having an excellent and effective computer tool that helps us save valuable time, create and highlight PDF files without issues or difficulties, with a really light and fluid performance when working with large, medium, or small documents, which allows us to save the conversion of our files and documents in the best way.
