The following full-length review applies to version 6.0
This program is a great way to convert your documents to PDF, the most popular document format for portability nowadays. This program installs itself as a virtual PDF printer driver so you can convert your documents just by printing them. The process is extremely easy. If you know how to print you know how to convert any document to PDF using this program. Just select doPDF in the Print Dialog and press the “Print” button. A dialog window will appear asking for the name and location of a new file. The conversion speed depends on the document’s complexity but in general it is quite fast, and in few seconds you’ll have your new PDF Document created.
Of course, there are other programs that do the same, but unfortunately you must pay for most of them. The great advantage of doPDF is that it’s FREE, really free for personal and commercial use without nag texts or screens. This company has a commercial version of this program named NovaPDF, with some functions in addition (adding watermarks, PDF Security and shared network PDF printer). But if you need just a simple way to convert your documents to PDF this is the right solution.
You can print PDF documents from Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Fireworks and even Notepad. In fact you can convert documents from any application with printing support. This program works great under Windows Vista and can be installed on 64 bit operating systems. It doesn’t require any additional software and the files created by this program are smaller than the ones created by other applications.
The driver interface is translated into English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese from Brazil, Portuguese from Portugal, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. |
