PDF Printer Editor's Review

The BullZip PDF Printer is a useful Microsoft utility that generates PDF documents from almost all of the Microsoft range of applications. PDFs look more professional and offer added security, including password protection. Options include adding watermarks, rotation, and adding documents before and after the original content.

Once installed, it is very easy to use, and all you have to do is open the print dialogue and select the BullZip PDF Printer instead of your physical printer. While it is a primarily a PDF printer, you can also choose to save the output in other popular formats: TIFF, PS, PNG, PCX, JPEG, EPS, and BMP.

Pro's: Easily transforms files into secure, professional PDF documents. It offers the ability to protect documents with a security password or watermark. There are no pop-ups or advertising, and it is free for up to 10 users.

Con's: It sometimes has problems locating the regular destination directory, and you have to manually browse to where you want to save the output. Large files can take a while to convert to PDF.

Conclusion: If all you want is to convert a file to PDF, without the need for editing or annotation functions, this free app does the job well. The virtual printer makes it easy to save files to a different format, without the need to use separate software. It is a recommended addition to any computer.
