Source code
This is the source code of the well-known PDFCreator from pdfforge. PDFCreator works like a printer which allows to convert to PDFs from any printable application. In this repository, we provide access to the source code of the application. To get PDFCreator running on your system, you need to set up the appropriate printer driver. To do this, please download the PDFCreator Free setup from our website and install it with the "/silent" parameter. Note: We recommend disabling the standby mode in PDFCreator during development. This is because print jobs may not be processed by your freshly build PDFCreator, but by the installed version, waking up from stand-by. You can find all information on the applicable licenses in the license section of the user guide.
