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 However, for such advanced capabilities, this app comes with a rather outdated window.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 Additionally, users would also notice the outdated interface that is rather confusing to use.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.
