Features
Softland doPDF is a freeware application that is licensed for commercial and personal use. It supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, XP, Windows Server 2000, 2003, and 2008 operating systems.
The application allows custom resolution settings from 72 to 2400 dpi, and predefined and custom page sizes. PDFs created from text remain searchable in any of the 20 languages supported.
Older versions of doPDF do not use Ghostscript or .NET, and therefore is self-contained. It has a very small download file size, which was 1.73 MB in doPDF version 6.3.311 and 2.98 MB in version 7.0.321. Softland claims that doPDF in use "Barely uses any computer resources - compared to other free PDF converters, doPDF barely uses any memory or CPU resources when doing the actual conversion to PDF."
According to their site:
Once installed doPDF is accessed by selecting doPDF from the print menu of any application that can print. The application then asks the user where to save the document, prints it as a PDF file and opens it in the user's default PDF viewer.
Writing on Download.com, reviewer Seth Rosenblatt said of doPDF 6.2.301:
The company released version 7 of this application in early December 2009. This new updated version includes complete compatibility with Windows 7 as well as support for Type 1 fonts. Instead of embedding the full font file, doPDF 7 embeds only font subsets, making the resulting PDF file smaller.
