PDF Creator is an Open Source software program to create pdf documents by adding itself as a virtual printer that can be used to send and convert documents into the pdf format. The virtual printer has the advantage that PDF Creator can be used by virtually any application that can access printers in the Windows operating system.
PDF Creator is compatible with most Windows operating systems including the beta of Windows 7. The application makes use of Ghostscript to provide the pdf functionality. The pdf software generator comes with a few additional features that makes it interesting. It can created PDF/A documents, create encrypted pdf documents and merge multiple documents into one pdf document.
PDF Creator can also create different file formats like PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, PCX, PS, EPS. Another interesting option is to install the PDF Creator application to run on terminal servers.

This is useful. How does it compare to CutePDF? I have trouble with CutePDF when I have embedded spreadsheets in a Word doc.
Does PDF Creator support Vista now? It didn’t last time I checked so I use Bullzip PDF Printer instead.
Well it is supporting Windows 7 according to the release notes so I assume it is also supporting Windows Vista.
Yes, it dose support vista now. I am using on a Vista machine.
i use pdf creator and it works great (in xp).
adobe acrobat has too many security issues imho.
i do wish there was an open source product like acrobat though. i have three programs to do the work of acrobat (creator, splitnmerge, foxit)
yeh the last version I downloaded was working on Vista,
I was happy as it was always my favourite free PDF printer
i use dopdf because i hate pdf-creators that use/require ghostscript.

It can also be used to compress PDFs, I compressed some over 75%

dopdf does not use ghostscript, but free version has many limitation, I have hacked it to let it has the same features as commercial one, even better than commercial one, but I still like PDFCreator, btw, PDFCreator use my pdfcrypt to support 128-bit RC-4 and AES-128 encryption.
