What it does
PDFCreator provides Windows PDF creation and conversion with free and paid deployment options. Advanced editions add automation features for desktop, terminal-server, or server workflows.
Use tokens to fill recurring filenames and output directories, then auto-save instead of answering the same save dialog for every report. Profiles and actions can add cover pages, email output or run a custom script. Choose the deployment edition first: Free covers basic Windows creation/merge/conversion, Professional targets devices, and Terminal Server/Server editions cover shared or server processing. The site publishes source-code rights for the core, but paid component entitlements still need their own comparison.
