I am using some software that cannot utilize the built in Mac PDF writer tools. Because of this issue I started to explore options for PDF writer drivers for virtual printers. This appears to basically be the only one on the App Store and access requirements of some of the tools outside of the App store made me nervous. Even with the limited reviews on the store I decided to bite the bullet and buy the software because of needing it for work. Overall it works as it should with some quirks and limitations. Overall it does what it says. There is limited settings you can change and it appears some settings you need to restart the app in order for them to take effect. Otherwise I have not had problems.

Does what it says but could be better
Totalement inutile avec MAC OFFICE
L’application est redondante avec la sauvegarde PDF proposée dans les logiciels. Le transert d’un fichier Power Point vers un PDF augmente la taille du fichier par 2 voir 3 - CE QUI EST L’INVERSE DU RESULTAT ATTENDU
Wenn man’s braucht ...
Normalerweise kann man eigentlich von OSX direkt in eine pdf drucken. Das funktioniert aber mit bestimmten Dateien nicht, die das unterbinden. Hier half bislang nur der Weg über den Drucker oder komplizierte Nachbearbeitungen. Mit dem PDF-Printer konnte ich verschiedene Dateien, die bislang nicht die eingebaute Funktion nutzen konnten, problemlos in eine pdf umleiten. Das ist es mir echt wert.
Dieser PDF-Drucker ist perfekt
Ich kann diesen PDF-Drucker nur empfehlen.
Does not work
Appears in the list of available printers is all. Produces an error after timeout, and no PDF file found… Idea is correct, but needs some serious development work to make useful….
