PrimoPDF - Free PDF Converter
Testimonials
“Great program and free! I was using CutePDF before I found this one. I like PrimoPDF a lot better. It's easy to use and has a great interface. It also does a great job making PDF files from text and web pages. I heard it's a lot smaller in file size than Adobe ® Acrobat ® Writer, too. I like small, free programs that do just as good as job as the ones you have to pay for. Who says nothing is free in life? Uh...this is. Check it out!”

“I want to thank you for having a free PDF converter. I needed a program that could convert files to PDF so I could put them on my site for people to download. I just wasn't sure how to do this.  Thank you very much for having this program. I will be sure to mention it in my site.”

“Jarte does not provide a PDF export function. However, we recommend a popular, free product called PrimoPDF by activePDF, Inc. for exporting your Jarte documents (or any other documents) to PDF. PrimoPDF adds itself as a virtual printer to your computer's list of printers. To create a PDF file from Jarte (or any other program) you simply "print" your document by choosing PrimoPDF as the printer. Instead of actually printing the document PrimoPDF creates a PDF file that looks exactly like your printed document including any header or footer lines. PrimoPDF creates excellent quality, compact PDF files and it's free.”

“Now, I find it has been made even easier -- those open-source tools have been rolled together with a handy installer in a free package called PrimoPDF. No complicated config -- just download, install, and go.  If you're like me, and this free package does what you need, you don't need to worry about that.  I've tried out this package and it does what it claims -- no ads, nags, ifs, ands, or buts, just simple, functional, free PDF output.”

“I just downloaded your PrimoPDF application, on advice from a chat forum attendee on Microsoft Publisher’s online forum, and I WANT TO THANK YOU… IT IS AMAZING! It works better than any other PDF application I’ve tried. I will be forever grateful.”

“I have tried several free PDF creators (PdfSuite995, Business PDF Writer, CutePDF Writer, etc.) and in my view PrimoPDF is the best and most stable one.”

“I’ve just downloaded and tested your product and so far I am very impressed.  It is working well in Word and Publisher – have yet to test it in Excel but I have to say that I am very impressed. The download was very easy and the instructions were clear and concise. I only have use for a PDF creating program about once or twice every few months and could not justify the expense of purchasing Adobe. Good luck and I wish you much success with your future ventures!”

“After spending several months of converting DOC to HTML to Text to PDF, I searched for a freeware program to convert DOC directly to PDF...and I found PrimoPDF. And it works! I'll be using this for my website -- I'm a math teacher, and I've begun offering my notes and old tests online in multiple versions. So, thanks to your free product, my students will be able to access my information more easily.”

“In the past, users had to buy expensive software such as Adobe's Acrobat to create PDF files, nowadays there are several good basic PDF converters such as PrimoPDF from www.primopdf.com. Once the software is installed, creating a PDF is as simple as "printing" to a specially installed printer driver. PDF files can be created from any Windows program with a print facility. One will also notice that PDF files are significantly smaller than normal Microsoft Office documents.”
- Andrew Parker, The Mercury

“I came across your product while searching for a PDF generators. I am working on a project to produce the Malayalam Bible in Unicode. As this is a free project there is no funding. I needed to print out PDFs for proof reading and distribution. Your product has definitely made my work a lot easier. Thank you once again.”

“For creating PDF files out of Word documents, this program is excellent. You can also tweak between screen and print settings. Small, easy to use, very good interface. This program installs as a virtual printer and will run only when you use it. To make a PDF file, just select print from the program you're using and under printer select PrimoPDF. It's a great little tool with no adware, spyware, limits, or watermarks. It will save you the $300 you'd pay Adobe for their full version of Acrobat in order to create PDF files.”

“You guys have the best .PDF creator software ever. I've tried Adobe, Scansoft, Cute, you name it - and because you have provided people the best creation software, and because you trusted us enough to offer it to us for free, I want to thank you, sign up with you, and send you money.
Seriously. Do you offer any stock for purchase? Or what are other ways, like donations, etc., we who love you can show you the love and lend support?”

“To date, Microsoft has not offered the ability to save Word files in PDF format, but don’t despair, Word users -- there are add-ins available that will allow you to save files in PDF. Most will cost you around US$40, but PrimoPDF offers a free conversion tool for Word that is easy to use”.

“If your enterprise wishes to generate PDF files, you can easily do so without buying copies of Acrobat. Many publishing experts recommend the completely free PrimoPDF application, which is available from activePDF, Inc. … the free PrimoPDF doesn't require add-ons, and it's all most PC users will ever need to generate their own PDF files from most Windows applications.”
- Brian Livingston, Datamation

“PrimoPDF is awesome, I needed to convert a document, did a search in Google, downloaded the free app (how is this free! it’s so good!), followed instructions, printed to PDF, expected my doc to be distorted like the usual free app will do, but it looks better than the Word doc! You guys are great, keep it up!”

“I recently created several Microsoft Office documents for my company that we wanted created into a PDF. I downloaded several programs from the Internet and finally I came across PrimoPDF. I must say it was very user friendly and I successfully converted my files to PDF format, unlike the other programs. I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to use your great program.”

“I’m a sucker for free software. Any free program that does what it claims to do without crashing my computer or causing any adverse effects automatically gets 2 and a half stars. In fact, any program that does what it claims it will do without causing any adverse effects gets two stars and a half stars! That said, I’m giving PrimoPDF, a PDF converter for Word, 4 out of 5 stars. Using a broadband connection, I downloaded and installed the PDF converter in a matter of minutes. There were no options to specify, no messy desktop icons to delete, and no system reboot required. A few minutes later, I had converted a Word document to PDF format (optimized for screen viewing) using the PDF converter and was scrolling through the document in Adobe Reader. No fuss, no muss, and the document looked identical to my Word document.”
