Nowadays, the PDF file format is widely used for storing and distributing documents. That's because it's small in size, it'e extremely versatile, it can be viewed using numerous programs, a lot of mobile devices support it and best of all, it cannot be modified by unauthorized people. Thus, the problem is not viewing a PDF document but actually creating it. The most popular software for creating PDF files is Adobe Acrobat, but despite its huge popularity, this program has a lot of downsides.

First of all, it's difficult to use and it has a lot of complex options that need some time to learn and to master. Second, it takes up a lot of hard disk space and requires powerful computers. Third, it's quite expensive. A much better idea would be using PDF4U, a software that acts as a virtual printer, allowing the user to create PDF files from virtually any application that supports printing.

The software is compatible with all Windows versions, ranging from XP to Windows 7. It takes little time to install and has low system requirements. Besides installing a virtual printer for creating PDF files, PDF4U also features a Batch Converter that allows turning a lot of files at once into PDF. This operation can save a lot of time and effort, as the user doesn't need to convert each file separately. There are numerous file types supporting for converting into PDF.

There are many settings available for customizing the quality of the resulting PDF files. Moreover, some ownership information can be added to PDFs, for personalizing them. After completing this information and making the neccesary settings, clicking the Print button will create a PDF file in the same folder as the original file.

Pros

It acts as a virtual printer, allowing the user to create PDFs from virtually any application that supports printing. Moreover, there are a lot of settings available, for customizing the quality of the resulting PDF. Furthermore, it features a batch converter that allows one to turn more files at once into PDFs.

Cons

The number of settings for customizing the PDF file is limited. PDF4U is an awesome software that allows creating PDFs using virtually any application.
