The Portable Document Format (PDF) from Adobe is a format for exchanging documents.
PDF24 works with all Windows programs and does a lot: creating PDF files from all applications, sorting, merging, columns, password protection, support for other output formats and much more.
PDF24Creator
The creation of PDF with the PDF24 Creator is possible from almost every program that the “Print” function provides. 
A separate PDF printer called "pdf24" is installed for this purpose. When printing on the pdf24 printer, a PDF file of the desired document is created. In this version the PDFs can also be edited.
When converting the document into a PDF file, the PDF24 assistant is opened automatically, here you can decide whether the file should be displayed, saved or edited.
Files created with the PDF24 Creator can be saved in alternative output formats. This primarily includes image formats. The following output formats are available: PDF, PS, EPS, PCL, PNG, JPEG, BMP, PCX, TIFF and PSD.
Automatic conversion
A component is integrated in the PDF24 Creator with which various documents and images can be automatically converted into a PDF. To do this, the document must be dragged into the right-hand window area of the PDF24 Creator. The document is automatically converted into a PDF and then appears in the right pane.
The pdf24 is available to the user for 6 months after installation. Each time a new program version (update) is installed, the runtime begins anew. After the 6-month period of use has expired, it is automatically deactivated. However, it will not be deactivated if no new updates have been released.
