DeskPDF Professional 2.5.8

DeskPDF Professional provides users with the ability to create PDF's that are 100% Adobe Reader compatible from any application. By using the 'print' analogy within Windows; DeskPDF can create PDFs from Microsoft Office and over 250 other applications without having to learn or go through the tiresome process of opening a new program. Version 2.5.8 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

This PDF converter didn't wow us with its feature set, but it demonstrated good speed and usability. Like similar programs, DeskPDF Professional installs as a virtual printer, allowing you to convert any printable document to PDF format. You also can select a file for transformation by right-clicking it or dropping it onto the program shortcut. DeskPDF Professional supports such PDF features as metadata, viewing options, and password protection. It also can merge documents, but it can't, unfortunately, bookmark them. The program comes with a handful of watermarks, and we like its ability to save settings in profiles for quick application later on. Overall, DeskPDF Professional provides solid functionality that ought to satisfy most people with basic PDF-conversion needs.
