doPDF is a free PDF converter for both personal and commercial use. Using doPDF you can create PDF files by selecting the "Print" command from virtually any application. With one click you can convert your Microsoft Excel, Word or PowerPoint documents or your emails and favorite web sites to PDF files. doPDF is a free PDF converter, it is not a PDF viewer. To view PDF files you will need the free Adobe Reader.

doPDF installs itself as a virtual PDF printer driver so after a successful installation will appear in your Printers and Faxes list. To convert to PDF, you just have to print the document to doPDF, the free pdf converter. Open a document (with Microsoft Word, WordPad, NotePad or any other software), choose Print and select doPDF. It will ask you where to save the PDF file and when finished, the PDF file will be automatically opened in your default PDF viewer.

PDFCreator ist ein kostenloses Programm, mit dem sich Dokumente eines jeden Windows-Programms als PDF-Datei speichern lassen. Es wird dazu als Drucker in das System eingebunden und erlaubt so die Ausgabe in eine PDF-Datei.

Die Qualität der erstellten Dokumente ist dabei ähnlich hoch wie bei den Produkten von Adobe. Zum weiteren Funktionsumfang von PDFCreator gehört eine 128-Bit-Verschlüsselung, die die Dateien vor unerwünschten Zugriffen schützt. Auch eine Bündelung mehrerer Dokumente zu einer PDF-Datei ist möglich.

Bugs fixed

    **PDFCreator Terminal Server:** The account selection for the license service in the setup could not handle an "@" in the user name.
    The owner password was not saved, resulting in a request during an interactive conversion or an auto-save error.
    The content of the background action was placed above the actual content instead of in the background.
    The settings migration from an older PDFCreator version could cause the font for the signature action to be missing.
    **PDFCreator Free:** The signature action failed, when the received time stamp was larger than 4 KB

Die Freeware "PDF Split and Merge" fügt einzelne PDFs zusammen und umgekehrt. Sie haben mehrere Präsentationen als PDF vorliegen und müssen daraus eine einzelne erstellen - jedes PDF in die Ursprungsdatei zurückzuverwandeln, anschließend zusammenzufügen und danach erneut zu konvertieren gestaltet sich als mühselig und zeitintensiv.

Die Freeware "PDF Split and Merge" kürzt den Prozess ab, indem es bereits existierende PDFs über nur wenige Mausklicks trennt oder zusammenfügt.

Changelog

Creator: Fixed problem with drag and drop from Creator to other apps

Fixed an issue with dragging and dropping multiple files from Creator to another app. The error was that not all files were transferred. We have analyzed this issue and fixed it. You can now drag and drop files to another app again without any problems and save the files that way.

Creator: Preview images now use PNG format

Previously JPG was used to display the preview images, but this is disadvantageous especially for documents with text. We have switched to PNG here so that documents with text are also previewed a bit better.

Creator: Preview images was not fully visible in landscape mode

A preview image was not fully visible when the image was in landscape format. Due to a bug, the centering algorithm was applied to images in portrait orientation instead of landscape orientation. This is now fixed.

Creator: Wait cursor when loading PDF files

When loading a PDF file, a wait cursor is now displayed to give the user feedback that a file is loading. For larger files, it may take a few seconds for the file to load.

OCR: Unwanted console no longer opens

An unwanted console was opened when the OCR tool was started from the command line to process files. This is not correct, because the Console is not necessary here. Here we have optimized and the Console is no longer opened.

PDF Printer: Limitation of jobs running in parallel

The number of parallel running jobs via the PDF printer is now limited. This can be controlled via the registry option PrinterServiceHandlerLimit (DWORD). The default value is 1. Previously we had no limit and this could cause resource problems, especially if a printer is configured to save automatically and if the printer has to process many print jobs in a short time. With the default value of 1, the jobs are processed one by one.

Toolbox: Image extraction improved

Image extraction has been improved. Some PDFs have cyclic references and this is now detected. Previously, these PDFs could not be processed and no result was generated. Also, more images can be exported and a status is displayed during export.

Toolbox: Better support for TIFF in the Images to PDF tool

Images to PDF Tool now supports TIFF files better. Bitonal TIFF images are handled in a special way so that the resulting PDF file remains small. Multi-page TIFF files are now supported as well.

Toolbox: Unwanted focus frame removed

The focus frame from the page container in the "edit pdf", "annotate pdf", "sign pdf" and "blacken pdf" tools has been removed because this is not wanted.

Toolbox: Added more keyboard shortcuts

The tools "edit pdf", "annotate pdf", "sign pdf" and "blacken pdf" now support CTRL+Z to undo, CTRL+Y to redo and CTRL+A to select all objects. Also you can use LEFT and RIGHT key to navigate between pages.

Toolbox: Home icon added to some tools

The tools "edit pdf", "annotate pdf", "sign pdf" and "blacken pdf" now have a home icon in the toolbar, which can be used to return to the home page to perform further functions. This was not possible before. Before you had to close and reopen the toolbox to use another function. With the new home icon this is now easier.

Reader: Title of the print job changed

The title of the print job is now only the file name without the directory. This is handled by most programs and it is easier to keep track in the print queue.

Reader: Keyboard shortcuts improved

The key combination to move to the next/previous page is CTRL+LEFT or CTRL+RIGHT. If the horizontal scrollbar is not needed and therefore not visible, you can now also simply click LEFT or RIGHT to navigate to the previous/next page.

Assistant und FileTools: Number of files is displayed

The PDF Printer Assistant and shell file tools now show the number of files in the file list. This is often useful to make sure that all files have been loaded.

TWAIN: UI launching improved

A problem with calling the Twain driver has been fixed. The GUI of the Twain driver could hang on some actions. We use a new flag when calling the GUI process and this fixes the problem in our test environment.
TWAIN: DSM Manager updated to the latest version

General: Lower CPU load when reading data from another process

When PDF24 starts other processes and reads data from this process, the CPU is now less utilized. The buffers have been slightly increased and the reading process now goes into wait mode more often.
General: Language files updated and Arabic.lang added
General: Ghostscript updated to version 10.0.0
General: Webview2 updated to version 107.0.1418.24
General: QPDF updated to version 11.1.1

General: Launch Ghostscript optimized

We no longer set the Ghostscript environment variables GS_DLL and GS_LIB. We now only use command line arguments when running Ghostscript. We also now use -sFONTPATH=%windir%/fonts to allow Ghostscript to find the installed fonts in the Windows fonts folder. We have removed the fontmap file that the PDF24 installer created in the previous version, since it is no longer needed. Also, -dNEWPDF=true is now set by default, which can be controlled via the registry setting gs.useNewPdf. The old Postscript-based PDF reader is deprecated and will be removed in the next version of Ghostscript.

DocTool: Overwrite profile values via command line

When starting the DocTool with the -applyProfile statement, the profile values can now be overwritten with the command line argument -profileParam key value. This is very useful for some actions, e.g. to set a specific watermark text or password.

Output Profile Manager: Added UI to select a font

Added a font selection button next to the watermark and page number font fields. When the user clicks the button, a popup window opens where the user can select an available font. This makes the font selection more convenient.

Output Profile Manager: ARGB fields labeled

ARGB fields in the watermark and page number area have been prefixed with a letter to make it easier for the user to see what a field is for.

Output Profile: Watermark and page number function changed

When saving a file with an output profile, we have changed the way how page numbers and watermarks are added to the PDF. The new way uses the same functions as the tools in the Toolbox. These are better and support Unicode characters if the font used can display them. Also, we now have a single code base that is easier to maintain. On the TODO list are more watermark related features which we can implement better with the new method.
