PDF24 Creator is a tool that lets you convert any printable document (including images) to the PDF format.
The interface of the application is clean and intuitive. You can use the Explorer-based layout to locate files and the "drag and drop" method to add them for editing. Batch processing is supported.
So, you can browse through a document's pages, zoom in and out, fit the height, width or whole page to screen,as well as rotate pages and save them in various formats, including JPG, PNG, BMP and GIF.
Furthermore, you can compress files and extract content from archives, view file properties, rename files and folders, as well as import from file, camera or scanner.
Additionally, you can view PDF files only, toggle between the horizontal and vertical layout, preview documents or just view their numbers, extract pages from a PDF file, create a self-signed certificate, and more.
In "Preferences" you can change the interface language, set the PDF quality (from standard to best), write strings to erase in filenames, enable PDF24 Creator to automatically download and install updates, and others.
The application runs on a low-to-moderate amount of system resources and didn't freeze or crash during our tests. The layout of the text, images and tables is kept at a very good quality. We haven't encountered any errors.
There is no help file available and you cannot configure any kind of PDF settings (e.g. edit metadata, convert only particular pages). Nevertheless, we strongly recommend PDF24 Creator, since it's simple to use by all levels.
What's New in This Release:
Improvement: Optimized the internal preview concerning speed and usability:
· The internal preview has been accelerated dramatically. Zooming into documents could be very slow in the old version. That was annoying and so we decided to overwork this tool. The new preview is much better in zooming in and out and does not slow down. Furthermore we could improve the usability in zooming in and out using the CTRL key and the mouse wheel. We try to keep the current point of the document in the view so that the document does not jump when you scroll.
BugFix: Fixed another TWAIN issue:
· We found another weakness in the implementation of the TWAIN import module which sometimes causes problems in some device drivers.
Improvement: Improved PDF output quality again:
· We could improve the PDF output quality of high quality PDF files again by optimizing some internal parameters of the generator. The predefined PDF quality levels are now more precise so that you will get better graded result...
