Editor's review of Go2PDF

3.0 stars

This tiny application is efficient and reliable despite the demo version slapping a watermark on generated documents. Go2PDF installs a PDF "printer" in your computer's Control Panel after only a few seconds-long installation. The program also includes a good set of optional settings, including fonts, page format, PDF resolution, and even encryption. During testing, we found that Go2PDF was able to take a previously created text file and "print" it to PDF in a matter of seconds. The trial version does add a watermark to created documents, but such a convenient and speedy performance overshadowed any frustration we might have had with the resulting document. Overall, this is a simple and streamlined PDF converter that works far better than other more complicated, feature-heavy options on the market.

"very rudimentary"

by blablupp on May 15, 2007

Pros: possibly works with some standard/simple applications and, hey, it's free, so, if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys

Cons: did not even work with microsoft imaging applications, plus very hard to uninstall, you can download the Go2PDF Removal Tool Go2PDF_Remover.exe from a hidden update site (through Google), but not sure what it exactly does

"Does what it says but not much else"

by godofodd on May 16, 2005

Pros: Quick and easy to install, intuitive to use.

Cons: Places ad on finished product. One would be better off using PDF995 (from pdf995.com) as it gives you a browser pop-up ad after pdf is completed (pdf file is ad-free).

"Freeware... Not really free."

by tribeachpunk on May 9, 2005

Pros: Turns your file into a PDF file alright..

Cons: Its described as freeware... but it leaves an ad encouraging you to buy the program on the PDF file you've just created.. Fine for personal use, but useless otherwise. This is a terrible way to do business.
