    Requiring and using .NET is a stupid decision for software makers.
    Further not much against Ghostscript.
    Does the job but there are better things to find which are more free.

    I tested serveral free PDF printers.
    Pro:
    No Ghostscript needed,
    one unobtrusive ad,
    PDF passwords,
    5 profiles (including one custom profile),
    individual document properties for every file possible.
    Quite good!

    Ouch! 10 MB, plus .NET for a .pdf maker? I prefer doPDF. 1.5 MB, no .NET, no Java, no GhostScript, free, and so simple a child could do it. doPDF for creating, Foxit for viewing. Small, simple, free.

    Now, framework? Then how you survive without .NET in the age of Visual Studio and Vista(which come prepackaged with .NET 3)? I think it's just a must-have, like Java Runtime. Even then, it's probably better since we can expect a better quality (using newer framework--better code)
    If you're looking for really free (NO "watermark" or any limitation whatsoever), this is it. You can always block it with your firewall if seeing ads disturb you (you can also disable it's auto update)

    Give it 5 stars for being free, lacks pro output and command over RGB V CMYK but for general PDF output tis very good:)
