Universal Document Converter 4.2

Universal Document Converter is actually a virtual printer driver which allows you to create Adobe PDF or graphic files (TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PCX, DCX, GIF or BMP) from any printable document.

The program is very easy to install and use. You can install it just like any printer. After finishing the installation, the program will prompt you to set it as the default printer. If you do so, you'll have to manually select an installed printer when printing on paper.

When you wish to convert a document (Word document, PowerPoint presentation, PDF, Web page, etc.) to image or PDF, all you need to do is click the print button. Of course, in case you wish to customize your output, there are some printing options available. You can choose the page setup, a profile that can be saved and the image or PDF settings. After the printing is complete, you can choose to open the image or the PDF file using the default associated application or you can choose to run a custom application.

Pluses: This virtual printer can be successfully used as a network printer. In case you get stuck, the 'Help' section contains all the information you need for setting up a shared printer. You can also use it as a network printer as well.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: In my opinion, this is actually a two-in-one software which can be used for converting files for a large variety of purposes.
