PDF24 Creator is installed as a
virtual printer via a
device driver in the
operating system. This allows PDF files to be created directly from any application that provides a printing function. The commands sent are then used to create a PDF file. PDF24 Creator uses
PDFBox,
QPDF and
Ghostscript, which are automatically installed as a private instances for the PDF24 Creator. After printing a document on the PDF printer, a
wizard opens automatically, where the created PDF file can be edited or further worked on. The PDF24 Creator is also able to merge multiple documents to one PDF file and to extract pages. Compressing PDF files to shrink the file size is also possible. Since version 10.0.0 an added toolbox is present as well.
