"Fast and Simple PDF Creation with Some Limitations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PDFCreator?

I like PDFCreator because it is fast and quick in creating PDFs. It makes converting complex documents like Word and Excel files into PDFs a streamlined and efficient process, saving me time and reducing hassle. I also appreciate how simple it is to set up; logging in with my Google account makes the whole process straightforward. Overall, PDFCreator significantly simplifies the task of creating PDF files from various types of documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

I dislike the limitation of the free version of PDFCreator, which only allows the creation of PDFs from one file at a time. When attempting to upload multiple files for conversion, I find that I need to upgrade to the premium version. This limitation is frustrating because I believe there should be a functionality that allows users to create multiple PDFs from several files simultaneously one time to test in the free version and feel them how can a complex work easy for them and it be in finger of tips Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless PDF Creation with Robust Security Features"
5/5
What do you like best about PDFCreator?

I really appreciate how simply PDFCreator lets me turn virtually any printable document into a PDF. Whether it’s Word, Excel, images or something printed from a web browser, I hit “Print”, select the PDFCreator printer and off I go. Reviews highlight its ease-of-use and ability to automate file saving and naming.

Software Advice

On top of that, I like its built-in security options: encryption, password protection, digital signatures. Those features give me confidence when sharing docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

While it does the job well, there are a couple of minor things. Some users say it becomes slow or even crashes on larger tasks.

In its free version, there have been past issues around bundled toolbars and optional ad software during installation, which can be a concern if you don’t pay attention during installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mariia Kurbatova of PDFCreator

Hello Nicholas,

Thank you for your review. We’re happy that PDFCreator makes it easy for you to create secure PDFs from any document and that features like encryption, digital signatures, and profiles help streamline your workflow.

We appreciate your notes about performance on larger jobs and the bundled options in the free version. We will forward it to the corresponding team.

"Reliable PDF Merging, Budget-Friendly Solution"
4/5
What do you like best about PDFCreator?

I appreciate that PDFCreator is free yet reliably accomplishes what I need without bombarding me with frustrating ads. This is particularly valuable because it allows me to avoid paying for expensive subscriptions like those required with Adobe, yet still provides all the essential functions that I require. It consistently creates high-quality PDFs, which means I don't waste time troubleshooting file conversions. The software also solves formatting issues, ensuring that when I send a PDF, I am assured that the layout won't be altered when viewed on someone else's computer. Additionally, its compatibility with Microsoft Word and Excel is a significant benefit for me, offering the quickest method to convert final documents or spreadsheets into PDFs without having to use the save-as option within those programs. Finally, the initial setup of PDFCreator was very easy and quick, adding to the overall positive experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

I wish the settings menu was a little simpler. Sometimes finding the exact configuration I need takes a few clicks. Also, the installer used to feel a bit cluttered, but that's a minor thing. Additionally, I would recommend more if ads were removed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alyona Lutsenko of PDFCreator

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with PDFCreator! It’s great that PDFCreator’s compatibility with Microsoft Word and Excel makes converting documents and spreadsheets fast and easy, and that merging files into a single PDF maintains consistent formatting across devices.

We appreciate your feedback about the settings menu and installer. We’re always looking for ways to simplify the experience and make navigation more intuitive. Removing ads where possible is also something our team continues to consider, as it enhances usability for all users.

Thanks again for your review and support!

"Effortless PDF Creation and Merging with Reliable Performance"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PDFCreator?

PDFCreator is extremely easy to use and works reliably every time I need to convert or combine documents. I like that it supports multiple file types and lets me create PDFs quickly without any complicated setup. The interface is straightforward, and features like merging files, adjusting settings, and securing PDFs make everyday tasks much simpler. For basic to moderate PDF work, it gets the job done smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

The only downside is that some of the more advanced features are locked behind the paid version, which can be limiting if you need deeper customization. At times, the software also feels a bit slower when processing larger files. The UI could be more modern and intuitive, especially for new users. Apart from that, nothing major—just small improvements that could make the overall experience better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mariia Kurbatova of PDFCreator

Hello Aakash,

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that PDFCreator’s ease of use, reliable performance, and support for multiple file types have made your daily document tasks smoother!

We want to let you know that we’re continuously working on improvements, including UI enhancements and processing time. We appreciate your feedback a lot!

"Easy-to-Use PDF Creator with Lightweight, High-Quality Output and Custom Profiles"
4/5
What do you like best about PDFCreator?

It is very easy to use and lets you create PDFs from virtually any type of document, not only text files but also images. With the default settings, it produces PDFs that are good quality while still fairly lightweight (for example, in Word, the native “Save as PDF” option creates a heavier file). You can also adjust the existing profiles or create your own custom ones.

When creating PDFs, you can add extra information such as the author’s name or keywords, merge multiple documents into a single file, rotate individual pages, and send the PDF directly by email. It’s also available in a wide range of languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFCreator?

The free version lets you do quite a few things, but some features (for example, deleting pages when merging multiple documents) require the paid premium version. When merging files, the design of the hint that appears at the bottom—telling you that you can drag files to change their order—could be improved, as it’s easy to miss. Also, when creating a PDF, a kind of summary window pops up, and until you close it you can’t create any other documents. I find it a bit annoying to have to check whether you’ve left an open window somewhere when the PDF creator suddenly isn’t working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mariia Kurbatova of PDFCreator

Hi there,
