Good: *It has metadata-editing.
*You can add passwords.
*Easy converting.
*Right-click+in-built “printing’.

Bad: *Passwords only in 1 way.
*2 encryption types.

ALL: Recommended.

I agree with Ashraf… “messed up” is the understatement of the year. “Simpo” also make a PDF editor product that is easily the worst junk on the PDF market. Prints graphics with lines through them. There are much better .PDF printers out there – the one we like is called PDF Creator and it’s an open source project on SourceForge (beware immitators and sound-alikes which are loaded with spyware)

This software is crapola – steer clear.

It really appears that Simpo has spent alot of effort trying to promote this software by using the comments and rating system. This is supposed to be used by GAOTD users, not by companies trying to push things on to us. How about just let us try it and let us evaluate it. Otherwise, it’s time to move on.

Thanks, but based on the comments..I will pass up this one. I will go with the free version from sourceforge.

Yes, PDF Forge may be Open Source BUT the toolbar it contains (PDFCreator Toolbar) has been described as malware.

“Users have reported that this software changes their computer settings. PDFCreator’s end-user-license-agreement states that the software will “modify your Microsoft Internet Explorer and/or Mozilla Firefox browser settings for the default search engine, address bar search, “DNS error” page, “404 error” page, and new tab page to facilitate more informative responses as determined by The Toolbar”. All instances of “page not found – 404 errors” redirect to a search site that has been reported as causing multiple problems for users. The toolbar disclosure screen can irritate users, who think they have deselected the toolbar while not removing it from the list of installed components as stated on the screen. Some reviewers have termed the toolbar as “malware” and PDFForge has received criticism for including this toolbar with PDFCreator.”

Open office already has built into it the ability to convert word docs and excel sheets to pdf format. You just right click on doc to save and choose ‘export to pdf’ instead.

The hyper links are clickable as well.

There are too many negative comments for me to download this product. But I do appreciate very much such software being given along with the ability to give realistic reviews.

This offering has several issues which make it a bad idea to download. Several free alternatives that have been mentioned will do a better job.

#30 jeeem,

You couldn’t be more wrong. All ashraf does is promote himself and his site and provides constant misinformation. which makes it difficult for people with real knowledge to get their message across.

So get a clue and get a life yourself before you spew out insults. At least know what you are talking about.
