   Is this program lacking options: :yes. But having used it for over a year and since it does not require ancillary software to function what it does it does very well!

   Terrible application. Yes, it's fast and doesn't need additional libraries, but the quality of images and even some fonts is just terrible.

   Discovered this recently & use it quite often to convert song lyrics in text into .pdfs to scroll on my laptop. Easy to use & works as advertised. Thanks to the authors.

   doPDF works just fine; I've used it for a long time and actually got my work to adopt it as a standard tool a few months back.
   
   us3r has a history of downrating excellent programs and appears to be spamming on this one. (I don't care how bad you think a program is, don't advertise another one on a review.)

   Reviewing 6.2.301 (May 18, 2009)

   I am currently running Version 6.2 build 296 and am able to print to PDF from both Firefox 3 and IE 7 (XP SP3). The output file matches my print preview. It is very basic though and has very few options in the output dialogue. It is very small however (under 2 MB) and works well. There are a few other free PDF printers out there with more options but most require installing Ghostscript (such as Bullzip.com PDF) to work properly. If you're looking for a way to print PDF files from your apps and want something free and non-bloated this is what you need.
   
   4 out of 5 since the only caveat is the lack of options.

   I use PDFCreator and am thinking about trying doPDF (both are freeware and for this I'm very appreciative) -- although I'm not sure if it's worth the time to try. From first glance, it seems like the two software have all the same features. For those who have tried both, is there a difference?
   
   I'm thinking there must be for doPDF to be a fileforum pick -- or is it an automatized pick due to the 0.1 rating difference between doPDF and PDFCreator?

   Actually the version is 6.2.287 and not 6.1.287. The major improvement in this version is the addition of Font embedding.

   doPDF 6.1 build 286 was released. Update is not necessary, as this build only has some minor specific fixes.
   What's changed in doPDF 6.1.286:
   
   - Update: Added silent cancel printing - in previous versions, when the Cancel button was pressed from the Save As dialog, it would reload it and return an error when cancelling again - now this behavior is corrected and the Save As dialog is shown once.
   - Update: The character & is now allowed in the filename (was replaced in previous versions with underscore)
   - Update: Minor language file changes for Romanian, Russian, Slovenian and Ukrainian
   
   ---------------------------------------------
   
   Not sure if it's fixed in this version, but with previous version, when I create a PDF on the Newegg.com invoice, I get some magenta borders everywhere.
