Editorial Review of PrimoPDF
Are you looking for a quick and easy way to make PDFs for screen viewing, printing, ebooks, and even prepress use? PrimoPDF will do it for you in a blink, for free, and with some nice extras such as security options.
PrimoPDF sits in your printer list, and when you "print" a document to it, the main PrimoPDF window comes up. The options are simply laid out: You can create a PDF for screen viewing, print, ebook, or prepress (which embeds your fonts). You can include document properties like author name and keywords. You can encrypt your PDF using 40-bit and 128-bit encryption -- useful if you are publishing a ebook you'd like to protect from free distribution or an internal document you only want certain people to see. Then select the destination for your new PDF and click OK.
After PrimoPDF creates the PDF, the PDF opens in your default PDF viewer (we used Adobe Acrobat Reader 8) unless you set the options to do otherwise.
The security feature really is this program's best feature. You can choose whether users can print, copy text and graphics from the PDF, add comments, and make changes to the PDF. However, one caveat: I found that unless I manually reselected "128-bit encryption" from the drop-down menu, the program used 40-bit encryption. (The developer is aware of this problem and is planning to fix it.)
Note: This product contains graphical ads that appear in the main PrimoPDF window. The ads are for other activePDF and PrimoPDF products. A version of the program for 64-bit PCs is also available.
