doPDF is a free PDF creator 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:

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.

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.

Main Features:

• Predefined page size

  You can select a predefined page size for the resulting PDF file such as: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B4/5, Letter, Legal, Executive, Envelope DL/C5/B5/Monarch/#10, ANSI, ARCH (50 different formats available)

• PDF output presets

  You can create high quality PDF files (i.e. for printing) or smaller files (i.e. for web publishing), depending on your needs. You can also choose to balance the two options by using the medium quality preset.

• Automatic updates

  We always recommend using the latest version of doPDF and its integrated automatic update engine will keep your version current. Update checks can be scheduled daily, weekly or monthly, but you can also disable this feature.

• Graphic scale

  The content of the resulting PDF can be shrunk to 1% off the original size, or enlarged up to 400%.

• Addin for Microsoft Office

  During installation you can install the novaPDF add-in for Microsoft Office. This allows doPDF to offer one-click conversion to PDF from Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio).

• PDF Links and Bookmarks (Office only)

  When you convert PDFs using the add-in for Microsoft Office, you can convert bookmarks and links from the original document in the resulting PDF file.

• Always use this folder

  You can have doPDF create and save the PDF file to the same folder each time, no matter where you open the original document from.

• Embed font subsets

  To ensure that the resulting PDF file will look exactly as originally intended, doPDF embeds by default the font subsets used in the original document.

• Open with PDF reader

  You can choose to have the PDF opened with the default PDF reader once it's converted.
