Overview

PDFill & Image Writer is able to convert printable files into PDF or in an image format (JPG, PNG ..). It works as a virtual printer and all options can be set through its interface, before processing the file.

Using it, you can choose between different built-in profiles for PDF optimization, add user and owner password to prevent printing, editing etc., add metadata information, rotate or crop the file.

After you generate the PDF, you can access the PDFill PDF Tools menu to apply other actions (merge, split, rotate, add image/text watermark).
