Functions and Features
PDF24 Creator is installed as a virtual printer via a device driver in the operating system. This allows PDF files to be created directly from any application that provides a printing function. The commands sent to the supposed printer are used to create a PDF file. PDF24 Creator uses the free PDF interpreter Ghostscript , which is automatically installed as a private instance for the PDF24 Creator.
After printing a document on the PDF printer, a wizard opens automatically, where you can do something with the created PDF file. A special feature of the PDF24 Creator is the ability to merge multiple documents to one PDF file and to extract pages. Other features are:[5][6]
