BullZip PDF Printer is a free and simple application that will let you create PDF documents out of any application that has printing capabilities by creating a virtual printer drive.
Installation & Requirements
During the setup the installer will try to install some addition software in your computer. Be sure to uncheck the respective boxes if you do not want them. Furthermore, you will need an active internet connection so that the setup can download some extra necessary components like the GPL Ghostscript. The supported operating systems are Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 as well as Windows Servers 2003, 2008 and 2012.
Interface
The application’s interface serves as a way to choose your own settings for your PDF documents. The way the application works is that you choose to print something out of any application in your computer and BullZip PDF Printer will retrieve that data to the virtual printer and create a PDF document out of it. When you press the print button you will be taken to the file creation screen of the application.
When you change the settings from the main menu they will become the default choices for the files you create. However, each time you choose to print a file you will also be able to alter these settings to suit the file’s individual needs. For example, you can set the watermark you want to use on your files but you can opt out of it for each specific file. Furthermore, you can set a certain output path for all of you documents but you can also change it each time you create a new one.
Each setting is of course specific to the input file. For example, if you are using an image then you will be able to alter the output file image to suit your needs. However, if you are printing a simple document then you will only have the basic options available to you. Another amazing feature of the application is the ability to set passwords for each document for maximum security.
