Create PDF from any file

PDF Maker is a business and productivity application developed by Skysof. As the name suggests, this program allows users to create PDF documents. However, what makes it better is that it enables you to create high-quality professional Adobe Acrobat PDF from virtually any file type. With this, you can convert your Excel worksheets, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations to a PDF format.

PDF Maker also works with Access reports, Publisher documents, and even AutoCAD drawings. Moreover, you can create password-protected documents using high-level 128-bit RC4 encryption. However, for such advanced capabilities, this app comes with a rather outdated window. 

What can PDF Maker do?

PDF Maker is a powerful ActiveX Dynamic Link Library that offers many useful PDF-related functions. As mentioned, this app can easily create high-quality PDFs from any file. It can even create PDF from HTML web pages and Visio documents. More than converting your files, the app also allows you to add form fields to your document. Even better, it also enables you to add bookmarks and comments. This is one of the best on the list of Softonic PDF online tools.

The DLL also supports the application of standard PDF security. As noted, it allows you to create password-protected files. It encrypts the files using high-level 128-bit RC4 encryption, ensuring that your documents are safe from hackers. However, while it lets you add elements to your converted files, this app does not provide PDF editing functions. You would still need separate software for that task.

PDF Maker is a lightweight program with a file size of 586.75 KB. The app is easy to install and is compatible with the Windows operating system. However, the library requires Acrobat 5 or greater, including both Standard and Professional versions of Acrobats 6 and 7. Additionally, users would also notice the outdated interface that is rather confusing to use.

Is the app good?

Overall, PDF Maker is a handy tool that gives users control over the creation of PDF documents. The app can convert just about any type of file into a PDF format. Moreover, it lets you apply strong encryption to keep them safe from online snoopers. The window could use a bit of modern makeover for easy usage. Nevertheless, it works as advertised.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
