PrimoPDF Editor's Review
PrimoPDF is one of the programs that can solve a lot of issues with PDF files. It gives you the possibility to turn any printable file into a PDF file. The respective PDF files can be read, managed and edited with the application, but also printed from any Windows application. The good thing is that the software is available for free, but it is also very simple and easy to use.
The installation might be tricky. If you are used to press next for a few times in a row without paying attention to the dialog boxes, you risk ending up with unwanted and insecure softwares on the computer. Basically, the program comes with OpenCandy, which suggests the download of third party applications. Make sure you uncheck all the suggestions, unless you actually want the respective products. Besides, plenty of anti-malware applications tend to block OpenCandy. OpenCandy crashes on most Windows Seven computer, so if you have Windows Seven, you might just escape from downloading third party applications even if you don’t pay attention to installation process.
In order to perform the conversion, PrimoPDF adds a virtual printer to your system. It will not bother you in any way, since you will get used to it into your system overview right away. Once inside the application, the interface is very simple and intuitive. Aside from using the File menu to convert, open or manage the files, you may just as well drag and drop them on the desktop shortcut. The program will start converting the respective files immediately. The main options are very easy to deal with. Moreover, advanced users have their share of fun too. Unless you know what you are doing, it might not be recommended to make unknown settings. Reversing the process can be quite complicated.
Some of the main options any novice can handle include the file author, subject, title and keywords. You also have the possibility to apply some security settings, such as a password protection. Your files can be editable or fixed, which means that no one can modify them. When it comes to security, you have one option only – the 128 bit encryption. It is not even an actual option, since all files are protected in the same way. Therefore, more powerful encryptions are unavailable. The files can also be printed through PrimoPDF. They come in two technical settings. The 72DPI resolution is not very appropriate for a good printed page, while the “ebook” setting gives you the right size. Unless you are familiar with such settings, you might want to check out a few tutorials first. The settings are not thoroughly explained as you use the program, so you might have to make a few tests before finally finding the ideal format. Moreover, the printing option may sometimes seem to be stubborn. There are cases when you will have to give the command for a few different times in order to actually execute it.
PrimoPDF allows you to print files from absolutely any Windows application. It can also be used under Linux, but it needs an emulator. It can properly support 64-bit machines, so this is a plus for the more advanced users. Moreover, the font support is just as helpful, especially when it comes to Asian users. However, the help support is limited. The latest version provides support in multiple languages though, including German, Italian or Dutch. If you find an older version and you hope to update it later, keep in mind that updating is quite problematic. Most users have reported a series of errors, but also the impossibility to do it. Therefore, focus on the latest version instead.
Positive Points:
- Free and extremely easy to use.
- Does the work it is made to do perfectly.
Negative Points:
- Installation isn’t free from adware.
- Some antivirus programs might detect false positives.
Conclusion:
PrimoPDF brings in some essential features, especially since you gain the possibility to edit, save and protect PDF files serving the primary purpose of the program. However, it does have a series of negatives as well, but they are not considerable if you are looking for good solution for free and if they are not too important for you, the program can ensure a decent job.
