This is a printer driver (like many others) to print from any program into a PDF doc. They usually get updated soon one after the other, but sometimes not. I have both the GPL and AFPL versions (you'll see why in a second). I use 4 PDF related programs, in concert: not that there aren't bugs that need fixing.
#PDFILL FREE PDF WRITER REVIEW UPGRADE#
Their upgrade prices for new versions are always high (often higher than the cost of the new software if you keep your eyes open for special offers), and free updates (even for bug fixes) are few and far between. TextBridge, OmiPage and PaperPort) always promised much but the results are never as good as expected. I haven't tried their PFD software (and have no wish to) but other software I have used (and purchased. Personally I haven't had very happy experiences with ScanSoft software. For the new version of PDF Creator see the press release at which is the enterprise version but new consumer versions of Creator and Editor are due soon and will be free upgrades if you purchase current versions now.

If you want to edit files from other sources then you may need to look elsewhere. If you simply want to create PDF files and edit them, Jaws is well worth a look. I haven't seen updates at Jaws which address all the growing options in the PDF format.
So far I haven't felt the need to splurdge out on the upgrade to version 7 but I do now have some files that aren't fully functional in version 5. The updates for Acrobat are pretty regular and the file format grows and grows with time. The only places it falls down in comparison to Acrobat are speed (the Editor is quite S.L.O.W at loading and saving files - in fact sometimes with large files you may as well go and get a coffee) and updating. Jaws software is chearp, solid and reliable. I was lucky enough to get a free copy of Jaws PDF Creator as I had a registered version of their earlier software (which I got free from a magazine disk).
I know you'll want to wait for the review but I have used Acrobat 5 (full version) and Jaws PDF Creator and Editor. Although this is a command-line application, the Web site has a link to a WinGUI shell for most of the major features.
