PDF "printers"

barak

I have found PDFCreator extremely useful, but occasionally it only seems to "save" part of an online printable file. I have recently tried Foxit PDF Creator with the same result.

Any suggestions?

Can you provide a link to an example of an online printable file that they only part-print?

CutePDF is the most widely used free one.

Probably not much help to the OP, but worth pointing out for other readers that there seem to be two programs out there with very similar names:-

PDFCreator is free, and available from Sourceforge or http://www.pdfforge.org/

It's a very good program which generates PDFs at least as reliably than anything else I've tried.

There is another program called 'PDF Creator' (with a space) which shows up in Google. It's a paid app (shareware I think). I've never tried it out.

DoroPDF Printer is the best I've found - it implants all the commercial fonts which are supposedly non-implantable so guaranteeing format preservation.

I second CutePDF, it's simplistic quick and works flawless for me. I haven't had an issue with it yet and install it as standard whenever I build a new PC

Thanks withabix and Lil306 - but I've just tried cutepdf and had the same result as with the other two.

paddyrg - I can't provide a link for the file I'm trying to "print" at the moment as it contains sensitive financial information. I may be able to find another, but as I said most files are saved as PDFs without any problem.

I have a similar problem trying to save some (not all) statements with Foxit.

The first couple of lines are OK then it seems to leave half a page blank and the second page is then unreadable with the rest of the first page superimposed over the second page. Even if I try 'reprinting' I still get the same result. Strange because it does not happen for every statement!

I use pdf995 and this works on everything for me, the suite also gives me editing and security features for free.

I recommend Bullzip PDF printer. Works flawlessly for me and is free (its the personal version of a commercial program).
