Free pdf Creator

Free pdf Creator - Pdf995

One simple free program suite for my PC that I use all the time is Pdf995. There are three programs in the suite: Pdf995, PdfEdit995, and Signature995.

The basic program, Pdf995, allows me to print to a pdf file rather than printing to my printer. It’s such a nice option to have when I’m purchasing something online and get to the confirmation page and it says "please print for your records." I don’t know about you, but I hate to add to the paper clutter in my home and office. I’d much rather just create a file that I can open whenever I need it, including printing it to paper if necessary, rather than creating another piece of paper that I have to figure out what to do with.

It’s also great if I want to share a document with someone but don’t want them to change the file on accident or on purpose. Using Pdf995, I can create a pdf file from any program that gives me the option to print. In addition, with PdfEdit995, I can insert URL links, create bookmarks, even change a pdf file to text.

The one part of the suite that I haven’t yet used is Signature995, which allows you to encrypt and digitally sign your pdf files.

One drawback to the free version of this software are the sponsor screens that come up when you use it. You can remove the sponsor screens if you purchase a key. I don’t mind the sponsor screens much, as they only advertise their own free software products.
