Reviewing 0.9.8 (Apr 9, 2009)
It's a good program, but then again one can easily opt for OpenOffice, which produces (in my humble, unexpert opinion) fine PDF files, with bookmarks and all.
By the way, guys, how about a Pro PDF suite for FREE?! Download both versions, install version 4, save its Registry keys, delete all v4 files and then install version 6. Voilà! Works fine for me!
Interested? Grab them quickly, while still available! Here:

This should be considered adware and the intentionally misleading way to opt out... (Even if you dont agree to adding Yahoo search to the toolbar (originally i thought it was an option to add the toolbar WITH yahoo search), it is STILL autoselected and enabled during installation unless you explicitly uncheck it from installing.. Just telling people this is NOT GOOD ENOUGH)....
This is particularly egregarious behavior for an OSS app, if one doee not opt for the toolbar, one should NOT have it try to insert itself in the install tree and have to manually unselect it AS WELL
This is an OPEN SOURCE APP.... SHAME ON YOU for trying to make a profit at the expense of users privacy AND security.
Shame. I always liked this app.....but like a relationship with baggage, the baggage has got to go, or it will permanently be uninstalled never to be seen again.
If your that desprate for income, at least use a known "safe" toolbar from one of the major players with predictable behavior (Google/MSN/etc) and not some piece of obscure spyware that redirects your serches through itself
(this is the toolbars post-uninstall link)

Best PDF printer out there. I recommend it to everyone.
@Pheno:
I had the same issue, but found out PDFCreator isn't the one generating that stamp. You need to disable time/date/url printing within the browser itself.

I love PDFCreator. I've been using it for less than a year now, but can say that it's met my expectations and more. And it's open-source!
The only question I have to resolve is whether PDFCreator can stop putting in datetime/fileinfo/websiteinfo/etc as headers and footers by default.
