PDFs increasingly determine our digital life. They allow to exchange formatted documents without problems between persons, computers and operating systems. Even in the mobile sector, the frozen contents of the file are already commonplace. The problem is: Where do the PDFs come from, how do you create them?

7-PDF Printer: Free PDF printer for home users

A solution completely free of charge for home users has the Windows program 7-PDF-Printer ready. Once installed, the tool sets up a Ghostscrypt-based virtual printer driver in the system. From now on, if this printer driver is used to "print" texts, pictures, presentations or number diagrams, the corresponding contents end up in their original formatting in a newly created PDF file.

A first special feature of the versatile software: As an alternative to the Portable Document Format PDF, memory formats BMP, EPS, JPG, PCX, PNG, PS or TIFF are also available.

Anyway, if you do not immediately click on "Save" and create the new PDF with it, you can choose many other settings. So it is possible to name an author, a title, a subject and keywords or to specify that a web quick view is created. Unusual for such a tool is the ability to determine the output quality of the PDF file - this can go to prepress.

If you want, you can also set a watermark on the output pages, place a PDF background (stationery function) in the PDF you want to create, attach the new PDF to an existing file, or encrypt the new PDF file so that it will only contain the Person who knows the password given can be opened.

7-PDF Printer: Extended functionality for system administrators

For private users, the 7-PDF Printer is completely free, companies pay a small fee. But they also get a terminal server-capable software, which stands as her husband in batch mode as a call from another software out.

Developer Thorsten Hodes of the company 7-PDF: "System administrators like using 7-PDF Printer as an easily administrable and flexibly distributed PDF printer module. By providing distributable setup scripts, Citrix Metaframe support, and use on terminal servers, the software provides administrators with a highly reliable PDF creator framework on every conceivable Windows infrastructure."

7-PDF Printer 7.1 (4.3 MB) is now available for download on the homepage (http://www.7-pdf.com).

If Ghostscript is not available yet, it will automatically be downloaded from the internet. The program is freeware for home users, companies pay 23 euros.
