Free virtual PDF printer

Description

Need a Word or Excel file as a PDF, but every option wants a subscription or a full office suite? doPDF keeps it simple: once installed, it is just another virtual printer on your system. Any program that can print can make a PDF. Hit Print, pick doPDF, choose where to save, and a few seconds later the file exists.

You do not even have to open its main window, which is the real time saver. DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PUBX, HTML, TXT, whatever the source program can print works. With Microsoft 365 installed, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and others also gain a doPDF menu that carries links, bookmarks and styles over along with Save as PDF. When you would rather pick files yourself, there is a conversion wizard in the Start menu.

Features



Virtual printing: Select doPDF from the printer list and the save dialog appears, for any printable document.

Office add-ins: A doPDF menu inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio and Outlook that keeps hyperlinks, bookmarks and styles.

Quality presets: Adjustable compression, best quality for print, smaller files for the web, with fonts embedded so the layout holds.

Conversion wizard: Skip the print flow and convert files straight from the bundled wizard.

Free to use: Core features are free, and the vendor sells a paid edition for password protection and ad-free use.
