doPDF7.1 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.
At the moment I'm using Foxit PDF Creator and find it really handy as I don't always want to print everything but keep a copy of documents, etc. but as that was a shareware I thought I'd post about this.
I use DoPDF for producing brochures for a small group I'm involved with. I used to send them out in Word but that was probably useless. Just about everyone has a PDF reader and you can be more or less sure that the formatting will remain constant.
I use the option to include the font, just in case someone's pc isn't on the same wavelength as mine. This does increase the PDF size considerably, but can't be helped. Overall a great piece of freeware.
I use a competitor's PDFCreator (mostly to create multipage tiff) and also the one that came with Acrobat Standard. Virtual Printers are really nice though, thanks for bringing up the subject
