I've done 1 utility program to
convert : All printable files to Pdf Files, and to merge all the converted
files with links and bookmarks for direct access onto single Pdf file. The complete functionnalities will only work with PDFCreator installed...
if PDFCreator not installed : only Txt files , images ( many types) can be converted to Pdf
You can also find there an modified PdfCreator setup working perfectly with my tool, adapted to never ask to update the version, because if you update to newer version 2.0 and after the tool will work only with limited features Text, Images, Pdf files…
I used that tool from more than 4 years now from winXp up to win10 without any problem and i never noticed from my usage the need for newer version of PdfCreator.
Here on github you can also find an old pfdcreator 1.7.1 setup file adapted to not ask for updates...
For people like me still using pre version 2 COM interface...
