Editor's review of PrimoPDF 4.0.1

• "Turn any file into a PDF"

PrimoPDF 4 converts just about any file type to a PDF, using the source program the file was created with and its print command. Two new changes make the program easier to use and more useful. The interface redesign is definitely easier to navigate, and users can now choose to email the PDF instantly after its creation.

The conversion process from whatever document is on your screen to PDF is quick and efficient. Other features include a security feature, which allows the user to wrap the PDF in 40-bit or 128-bit encryption, PDF merging, and password protection. The user also can restrict editing of the new PDF, leaving comments and making other changes.

Primo's size is surprisingly large for such an unobtrusive app, and it's absolutely necessary to launch the read-me file at the end of installation, since the application loads no icons and leaves no other visible traces on your machine, except in the Start menu's All Programs.

  "I Use This For Printing Everything!"

  by Leahm37 on May 1, 2008

  Pros: I use this app religiously. Seems like you can waste so much paper without even thinking about it, printing receipts recipes, and the like. With PrimoPDF you can print it only when you need it, or view it on your machine instead of wasting paper!

  Cons: I would have given it five stars but PrimoPDF requires that you download and install .net framework, and I really dislike being forced to download and install ANYTHING extra to use a program.

  "How does this crapware bloat my Word document?"

  by raymond7 on May 2, 2008

  Cons: How did PrimoPDF take a 285K Word document and turn it into a 1.85M PDF file!? When I examined the contents in Notepad, I found so much unneeded inserted spaces and other unnecessary characters, I found out why PrimoPDF isn't so primo! I'm sticking with my tried and true Adobe Acrobat 6.0.6! I know Acrobat works!
