GREAT program!
centexguy
- Pros
- Creates PDF files from ANY Windows program. Exactly like it says it will do.
- Cons
- Not as intuitive as it could be, but you learn your way around it in a short while.
- Summary
- This program never claimed to be able to edit PDF files, other than adding / removing / re-ordering pages. You can rotate pages, open some other formats and save them out as PDF files, etc. If you want to edit the actual content, do it in the native file format then just re-print it to a new PDF file. It's as simple as that. I use it every day.
Worth every one of the 5 stars it deserves.

- Pros
- Prints anything to a pdf file. Best that I have found in comparison to other similar programs. Easy to install and utilize. Logic is there. Simply good!
- Cons
- Absolutely none. Installed directly from pdf.org, so have not witnessed any malware. My experience with CNET in the past, is to be careful with their installers. Never take the recommended option.
- Summary
- Been using pdf24 for as long as I can recall and its still the greatest little free piece of SW that I install on all my new machines ( or after any new installation). A utility that allows me simply to print anything to a pdf is worth 5 stars in my book. I have also tried a few others that can do the same but not so good to my liking. This one is simply the best (at least for me).
PDF24 EXCELLENT....BEWARE OF TROVI SEARCH VIRUS!!
stargate13
- Pros
- The program is excellent, easy to use, and quick!!! No complaints with the software, however, the download contains the TROVI SEARCH ADD ON which is a known malware virus that will hijack your search engine and will be difficult to remove or disable. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM FROM CNET!
- Cons
- BEWARE of the advertisement TROVI SEARCH that accompanies this program as it will infect and hijack your computer as a search provider malware which will be difficult to remove it from your computer!
- Summary
- CNET should not allow TROVI SEARCH to accompany this download since it is a known problem. DO NOT DOWNLOAD PDF24 from CNET until they remove the TROVI SEARCH add on from this download!! You can download this program from other sites without these add on advertisements and particularly without this malware TROVI VIRUS!
CNET downloader
PDF24
- Pros
- PDF24 installer is free of viruses and adware or other co-bundled software.
- Cons
- CNET downloader bundles PF24 setup and installs other software. Click the direct download link (the link below the CNET download link) to get the adware free PDF24 setup directly.
- Summary
- Be careful when using the CNET downloader. Choose the direct download link to not get any other co-bundled software as mentioned above in the review of zeb1934.The direct download link is below the large green download link. Click that small link to get the PDF24 installer directly.
Disasterous Bloatware!!!

- Pros
- Stay Away!!!
- Cons
- Loads malware that not only is impossible to get rid, it did something to my restore file to 2012 so now I may have to spend much time re-doing year and half of updates.CNET needs to take this software OUT OF LINE!!!

Good for what it says it will do...

- Pros
- Performs according to the publisher's description, and it's free.
- Cons
- Took a while to work out how to re-order, add and delete pages.
- Summary
- I am a bit confused as to why some reviewers are so hard on this program. Its main editing feature is being able to add, delete and re-order pages - something I hadn't been able to find in any other free editor. The publisher does not claim it is a 'full-featured' editor. In addition, it works as well as any other creator that utilises the print function. I recommend using it in conjunction with other free PDF editors for those looking for a wide range of editing features. For mine, this is exactly what I needed.
Worked just fine
wcmwcmcnet
- Pros
- I just wanted to add a cover page to an existing pdf and this did the job
- Cons
- Loaded a fax program/link I didn't want - without permission. Not a big deal, but annoying
- Summary
- Good for a simple tack
False PDF creator. Only prints an image.
SaintlyMic
- Pros
- No pros.Waste of my time.
- Cons
- I am so sick and tired of hearing the PDF creation scam!All this program does is CONVERT a document into a PDF using the print command.A true PDF CREATOR is a program where you can write the text, insert bookmarks, headers, footers, page numbers, security, etc, and then save that document as a COMPLETE PDF.Programs which "create" PDFs using the print command only create an IMAGE of a document, but not a true full featured PDF.
- Summary
I can confirm....this certainly does not edit text.
Xs-N-Os
- Pros
- This software will scour the dirty dishes in your sink and leave your teeth gleaming white.
- Cons
- It does not work as advertised.
- Summary
- I can confirm....this certainly does not edit text. I have no use for another pdf creator with fewer features than the rest.
Doesn't do what it claims.
Jeramee
- Pros
- I didn't waste that much time figuring out that this program doesn't actually edit pdf files.
- Cons
- Doesn't edit PDf file, which it says it does.
- Summary
- Wast of time.
