Comments and Reviews
One of the less free applications that support AES256 encryption for PDF creation. Merge function works quite well and useabilty is also good.
I don't like this. It has some options like embedding fonts but ultimately all I ever got was a filename.pdf.prn file. I never got an actual PDF. I also could not find any option to print "borderless" on Windows 11 so all my documents with full bleed and 1" margins would actually print with a 1" white border around the page, ruining the borderless look I created. This application simply is not up to the task, it's no better than Microsoft Print to PDF.
Resulting PDF contained gibberish instead of any sort of real text. Uninstalled.
