Let’s have a look at what PrimoPDF is good for: first of all, it is easy to set up after downloading the installer, a simple setup wizard will guide you through, just make sure you have administrative privileges. Actually, for the average user, PrimoPDF might pack more features than most people will ever use. Of course, there is always the Adobe-way, but PrimoPDF is more user-friendly, and it’s free. Wouldn’t it be nice to have an easy way of creating PDF files from any application, and for free? Well, PrimoPDF can do that for you! It is very easy to set up, and even easier to use.

In other words, the content must look and behave the same, independent of the technical environment.

The goal of this file format is to make a certain document look the same, no matter what hardware, operating system, or software the user is using to view it. Just in case you didn’t know, PDF stands for Portable Document Format, and it is a file format created by Adobe back in 1993.
