PDFCreator is a free PDF converter tool that lets you create PDF files (Portable Document Format) from any Windows program.
If you can print your document, you can convert it to PDF with PDFCreator. And not only PDF, but you can also convert the document to other popular formats, like PNG, JPEG, and TIFF.
Creating PDF files with PDFCreator is simple. It operates like a virtual printer, turning printable documents into PDF files. Print your document to the PDFCreator printer to start the conversion.
