I second the statement below. We did some testing with PDF Creator in the
Past and were not convinced. Especially we wanted to use it on the server
side,
creating PDFs for providing via the webserver.
First, it was not stable.
Second, we had to explain which software we want to install on the
customer's server and we are observed during the install process. And PDF
creator
showed a bit strange behavior, it didn't look like a professional software
at least
with the version 4D requires (1.7).
And last but not least, for any reason we leave an installation archive of
PDF creator on one of our developing servers and got recently an information
From our inhouse IT department because a virus scanner detected it as
malware:
Fileshare : \...\PDFCreator-1_7_3_setup.exe
Malware Severity: Severe
Category: Potentially Unwanted Software
Hmm ...
