Doro PDF Writer allows you to create a colored PDF file from any Windows program. The setup contains all what you need for creating pdf files. After installation you have an additional printer called 'Doro PDF Writer'.
Features:
- Simply start Word©.
- Write your document, also colored pictures can be included.
- Select on the print dialog the printer labeled 'Doro PDF Writer' and press 'OK'.
- On the Doro window which appears after that, you can specify some additional options. press 'Create'.
- Now you have a colored pdf file.
You can encrypt the pdf with 128-bit password protection. Further 'copy and paste' and printing can be prevented. After installation you can also start the 'Doro.exe' executable directly to convert .ps [PhostScript] files into .pdf files.
This printer is working under Windows 7 [32 and 64 Bit] / Vista [32 and 64 Bit] / 2003 Server [incl. Terminal Services / Citrix XenApp with multiple concurrent users] [32 and 64 Bit] / XP [32 and 64 Bit] / 2000 / NT4 and Windows ME / 98SE / 98 / 95.
See Doro.ini in the install directory for automation. You can specify all settings and set auto-printing. These settings can also be setup in the registry.
Please note that the real work is done by 'GhostScript'. [Which will be also installed during setup] To prevent that small non-standard fonts are printed as bitmaps, reduce the 'Threshold to switch between downloading bitmap or outline fonts' at Control Panel | Printers | Doro PDF Writer | Properties | Fonts | Send Fonts As... in some Windows versions.

What makes doPDF stand from the crowd
It's simple and fast
You just have to select WHAT document to convert and WHERE to save it. doPDF creates the PDF very fast and opens it with the default PDF viewer.
Saves you money
doPDF is a PDF converter free for both commercial/business and personal use. Won't cost you a dime to make PDF files (but we'll love you even more if you upgrade to novaPDF).
32-bit and 64-bit support
Same setup can be used to install doPDF on both 32 and 64-bit Windows operating systems.
Universal
You can convert to PDF any type of printable document (i.e. DOC, XLS, PPT, PUB, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PUBX, HTML, TXT,...).
No GhostScript
Doesn’t require 3rd party programs to make PDF files such as GhostScript. This makes the setup file to be incredibly small compared to other free PDF creator programs.
Searchable PDFs
You can search for text within the created PDF file (and search engines will also index the text from the PDF).
Multi-language
doPDF is the ONLY free pdf maker whose interface is currently available in 33 different languages and has a website translated in 30 (and growing, thanks to our translators).
Barely uses any computer resources
Compared to other free PDF creator software, doPDF barely uses any memory or CPU resources when doing the actual conversion to PDF.
Do your part in saving the planet
Instead of consuming paper to print your document, why not create a PDF file out of it and spare a couple of planet-saving trees?
Predefined page size
You can select a predefined page size for the resulting PDF file such as: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B4/5, Letter, Legal, Executive, Envelope DL/C5/B5/Monarch/#10, ANSI, ARCH (50 different formats available)
PDF output presets
You can create high quality PDF files (i.e. for printing) or smaller files (i.e. for web publishing), depending on your needs. You can also choose to balance the two options by using the medium quality preset.
Automatic updates
We always recommend using the latest version of doPDF and its integrated automatic update engine will keep your version current. Update checks can be scheduled daily, weekly or monthly, but you can also disable this feature.
Add Document info
Add document information for the resulting PDF file that helps especially with indexing. You can add a PDF title, subject, author, keywords and PDF creator. These details will show up in the PDF metadata info displayed in the PDF viewer.
Graphic scale
The content of the resulting PDF can be shrunk to 1% off the original size, or enlarged up to 400%.
Addin for Microsoft Office
During installation you can install the novaPDF add-in for Microsoft Office. This allows doPDF to offer one-click conversion to PDF from Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio).
PDF Links and Bookmarks (add-in only)
When you convert PDFs using the add-in for Microsoft Office, you can convert bookmarks and links from the original document in the resulting PDF file.
Always use this folder
Foxit Pdf Printer
You can have doPDF create and save the PDF file to the same folder each time, no matter where you open the original document from.
Embed font subsets
To ensure that the resulting PDF file will look exactly as originally intended, doPDF embeds by default the font subsets used in the original document.
