Version history for PDFCreator

Changes for v1.2.1 - v1.2.2

We are happy to publish the maintenance release PDFCreator 1.2.2 today. This version basically adds more translations to the setup. The pdfforge.dll also now has support for TIFF files with multiple pages.

Changes for v1.2.0 - v1.2.1

We are happy to release the maintenance version PDFCreator 1.2.1 today. We have greatly improved the uninstaller. Future updates will not detele the profile/printer mapping during the update.
We have also included a new Tool: Images2PDF. It allows you to quickly convert a list of images into a PDF file. Make sure to test it after the update.

Changes for v1.1.0 - v1.2.0

Today we are happy to announce PDFCreator 1.2.0. This version fixes a bug with printing from processes with lower priority like Google Chrome or Adobe Reader X. PDFCreator now also supports transparent PNG files.
According to our new versioning scheme we have increased the minor version number as there are new features and the translations needed to be updated.

Changes for v1.0.2 - v1.1.0

We are happy to announce PDFCreator 1.1.0 today. According to our new versioning scheme, it is the first release after PDFCreator 1.0.0 which adds new features. Among them is the embedded Ghostscript 9.0 which improves the TrueType font support. We have also added 128 Bit AES encryption and improved the setup to be run when PDFCreator is already installed to make the update easier.
The new TrueType font system also fixes spacing problems in some fonts including the Arial-Degree-Bug which caused the degree symbol to flow into following characters.
The new setup also provides an new Toolbar dialog which we now hope helps the user to see how he can disable it. You can also seperately disable the DNS Error pages. What many users did not see: The Toolbar provides two things apart from searches: It helps us to develop PDFCreator as it brings some revenue that supports the running cost we have for serving web pages for some million visitors and update requests for more than 6 million active users. But it also allows you to create PDF files with a single click from any webpage you are currently visiting. We think that it is worth giving that a try.

Changes for v1.0.1 - v1.0.2

Today we have released PDFCreator 1.0.2. This version returns to the older Ghostscript 8.70 as the new version had problem with making text searcheable. We have also added some languages and have fixed a small bug of our own.

Changes for v0.9.8 - v0.9.9

This release adds two major features. You can define printing profiles to store settings for a certain purpose and load them when required. Additionally, you can have multiple PDFCreator printers that by default use one of the profiles. For example, this can be used to automatically save invoices in a certain directory when printed to an invoice printer, while have another regular PDFCreator printer. There are also some smaller fixes as well as progress in the cClose Bug of the COM interface, which we hope is solved now.
