How to Make PDF with PDF Creator Plus
Download and install a free trial to try it out, or install and activate your purchased copy. The setup program installs the PDF Creator Plus file maker app and PDF Creator Plus 8 virtual printer on your computer.
PDF Creator Plus makes PDF files by printing to the PDF Creator Plus 8 virtual printer instead of your regular printer.
Combining the virtual printer with the PDF Creator Plus file maker app allows you to make your PDF from a single document or many different documents from different applications.
To start, open your document in its native application. For example, if it’s a text file, open it in Notepad, as shown below. You would open a Word document in Microsoft Word or an Excel spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel. In the same vein, open and print images with Windows Photos, and so on. Then, select File – Print from the application menu to start making your PDF.
On the Print dialog, pick PDF Creator Plus 8 from the printer options and then proceed by clicking the Print button to send the file to the PDF Creator Plus app.
To add PDF files, open them directly in the PDF Creator Plus file maker app. You can also drag and drop them onto the PDF Creator Plus file maker app to easily add them to your new PDF file.
Working With Files in the PDF Creator Plus PDF File Maker
PDF Creator Plus will display the collected pages from PDF files and printed pages from your other files. Continue printing files or dropping PDF files to add more pages.
In the app, you can use the included tools to annotate the pages with text, shape, and images. You can also add, move, rotate, and delete unwanted pages before creating your PDF file.
Printed documents do not keep any outline or hyperlink information. See Creating An Outline/Bookmarks in PDF Creator to learn how to add outline information to your pages before creating your PDF. For hyperlinks, see our article How do I add a hyperlink to a PDF Creator Plus project.
When all pages have been added, click on the Create PDF button to make your PDF.
Saving Your PDF File
In the Create File dialog, edit the name for your new PDF file and choose where to save it. Next, choose options for your PDF file:
- Select PDF file (*.pdf) as the Save as type.
- Check the Multipaged PDF and Embed fonts options.
- If you added hyperlinks or outline information annotations by hand, check the options for Create hyperlinks, Create outlines, or both.
- Keep the Open file option enabled to open PDF automatically upon creation.
The last step is to click the Save button to make your PDF document.
A progress dialog will appear as PDF Creator Plus makes your new PDF. If you need to change your PDF, use the Cancel button to stop the process, update your pages, and start again.
