doPDF is a free PDF printer that does what the name suggests, creates PDF files. Once installed it will allow you to convert any type of printable documents to PDF files. doPDF installs itself as a virtual PDF printer driver so after a successful installation will appear in your Printers and Faxes list and also in the list of All Programs.
Using doPDF you can convert to PDF in two ways: 1. Print to PDF via the virtual printer driver doPDF. You would do this exactly as you print to a regular printer, just the result will be a PDF file, not a printed piece of paper. 2. Using the doPDF Startup window. doPDF has an executable file (accessible from the start program group) that you can run in order to start a conversion wizard.
Key Features
- It’s really free, even for commercial purposes. In comparison, PrimoPDF (another alternative) uses the OpenCandy installation system, which basically “suggests” other programs to you while installing PrimoPDF. CutePDF installs the “Ask.com toolbar”. With doPDF you don’t have any problems since it doesn’t install (or suggest installing) anything additional than what’s necessary.
- No GhostScript. Most of the other free PDF creators are using GhostScript, which basically is the core that does the PDF conversion. While this might seem that’s not a problem, it means that you have to download another thing and install it in order to be able to create PDF files. doPDF uses its own PDF libraries so not needing GhostScript installed.
- Resource friendly. You’ll barely see the doPDF.exe process increase CPU usage in task manager during conversion, as it uses insignificant resources to generate PDF files.
