doPDF

PDF is the most used file format when it comes to creating and sharing documents. That's because it has a series of advantages over other document formats, like DOC or RTF, it's easier to store, it can support a wide range of media elements and it can also be protected with a password, so that no unauthorized user will be able to access it. But the problem with PDF files is that they are difficult to create. You will need a specialized application for this and Adobe Acrobat, which is the most popular application for creating PDFs, has some downsides, being difficult to use, expensive and also taking up a lot of system resources.

doPDF is a simple alternative to Adobe Acrobat, as it allows you to create PDF files using virtually any application that supports printing. That's because doPDF installs itself as a virtual printer into the operating system. As such, you will be able to use your favorite text editor for generating PDF files. After the program has been installed, the user can access the PDF functionality in two ways, either by using the actual application and selecting the desired files that should be turned to PDF or by accessing the printing feature from any program.

No matter what method is used for generating PDF files, doPDF offers various settings for customizing the layout and quality of the resulting PDF.
