Key Features

Universal Format Support

Converts Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Publisher, Works), OpenOffice (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw), RTF, WordPerfect (v1–11), Lotus, AbiWord, PDF, and more — the most comprehensive input format support of any PDF creator on Mac.

Image & RAW Photo to PDF

Converts JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, PSD, SVG, WMF, EMF, PICT, and virtually all DSLR RAW camera formats into PDF — with colour space control (RGB, CMYK, Grayscale), JPEG compression, and image downsampling.

Text & Source Code to PDF

Convert plain text (.txt, .log, .xml), source code (.m, .c, .cpp, .java, .h), and script files (.py, .sh, .php) into styled PDFs with custom font, size, and colour attributes applied per export.

Spreadsheet PDF Export

Advanced spreadsheet export options including page size and margin overrides, column headers and gridline control, page order settings, and three scaling modes — reduce/enlarge, fit to width/height, or fit to number of pages.

Fillable PDF Form Creation

Turn forms created in Word, Excel, or other applications into intelligent fillable PDFs — with submit format options including FDF, PDF, HTML, and XML.

Watermark Signing

Add custom watermarks to all exported PDFs with control over orientation and colour — brand, classify, or protect documents during the conversion process.

PDF/A & Tagged PDF Export

Export as PDF/A-1a for long-term archival compliance, or as Tagged PDF for accessibility and screen reader support. Export bookmarks, comments, and presentation notes pages.

PDF Initial View & UI Options

Define exactly how recipients see your PDF on open — navigation panel, page layout, magnification, full screen mode, transition effects from presentations, and which UI elements are visible or hidden.

AES-256 Encryption & Security

Set open and permission passwords with file restriction controls. Supports RC4-128, AES-128, and AES-256 encryption — applied across all exported PDFs simultaneously in batch.

Merge, Batch Export & Metadata

Combine any mix of documents, images, and files into a single PDF with merged bookmarks — or export each individually. Batch-edit Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords across all output files.

Successful Batch Conversions (Metadata Preserved)

Fast and easy. Great interface. Outstanding price. Highly reliable. I needed to batch convert hundreds of .docx files to .pdf - while preserving the original creation and edit dates (metadata). PDFtor allows for this and has many other advanced options (file extensions, overwriting, maintaining hierarchy, destination export and merging). Even better - this pulled files directly off Dropbox and saved them to other folders on Dropbox without m…

One of the BEST!

I have enjoyed this creative piece of software. Working in genealogy for a number of years, it has been a lifesaver for my work, and never given me any trouble - just works! And just yesterday, trying to merge some RTFD files for a book, out of six answers Google search gave me (none worked) this jewel worked perfectly! It is a 'go-to' jewel!

Works flawlessly

This app has great functionality and - as far as I've tested it - works flawlessly and quickly. I use it very often to export Word files to PDF files, because I often receive such files and don't like using Word. I find it tedious to open Word just to export one file at a time. This app saves me a lot of time and I really hope the developer gets to keep the app up to date.

Super!

Das kleine Tool ist sehr gut geeignet, Notizen, Screenshots, Texte u.v.m. zu kleinen Dokumentationen zusammenzustellen. Wenn man die einzelnen Elemente vorher sinvoll benennt, hat man auch gleich auch ein Inhaltsverzeichnis in der PDF, das sich ergänzt wenn man mehrere Dokumentationen anschließend zusammenfügt. Sehr hilfreich, danke!
