Comment summary: PDF24 Creator is praised for being a free, versatile PDF tool with extensive features like high compression and virtual printing. It is often described as trustworthy, innovative, and free from malware, making it a robust choice for offline PDF editing. However, some users note limitations, such as the inability to edit PDFs directly and reports of an unrefined UI. Despite being largely offline, parts of the tool depend on online functionality. Notably, the license restricts use to the European Union.

Clean download! Free from SpyWare/GrayWare. Trying to find a free PDF virtual printer for Windows 7 results in a minefield of Malware apps. This app is full of features, yet quickly and easily does exactly what I need it to do. I would rank this as 5-stars if the installer would let me choose not to set it as default PDF reader and not put icon on desktop.

Only basic functions are offline, the rest is online. The file optimization is haywire for solid books scans. During optimization the app had managed to alter a book size from 76MB to 92MB (!!!) on low quality settings, that is the app had implemented anti-optimization!!! The menus are muddy and non-user-friendly. The app occupies 840 MB on HDD - why the size is so huge for plain PDF-Editor??? Gonna use freeware PDF Arranger and NAPS2 instead of this flop.

My app's size is 883MB. That's huge, indeed! Compared to Adobe Acrobat DC file size, which in my case is 1.3 GB, I'm wondering if this is normal.

Needed a good PDF compressor. This free(!) app did the job well; ability to alter PPI and picture compression as needed. Might not squeeze down the size as much as a couple of commercial apps but that difference is negligible. Did I say it was free? Wow.

The best PDF Toolbox. Clean, Lightweight and feature rich. Can compress, merge, convert PDF files and much more. UI could be cleaner/prettier, but it's not a deal breaker. Works offline.

Look like it will do everything under the sun other than letting you edit/note the pdf. You might try Ashampoo PDF Free for simple form fill editing.

Get ilovepdf out of your bookmarks and install this instead. Light, packed of every PDF edit you could possibly need, and a good speed to boot. If you prefer doing everything locally youre gonna love having this as backup.
