BullZip PDF Printer

Print any document to PDF format with this easy-to-use virtual printer.

Effortless PDF Creation from Any Application

BullZip PDF Printer offers a fast and simple way to create PDF files by installing itself as a virtual printer on Windows systems. Any application that has printing capabilities—including Word processors, browsers, spreadsheets, or design software—can generate high-quality PDFs by selecting BullZip PDF Printer from the print dialog.

Flexible Output Options

The software provides multiple options for saving your PDFs. Users can choose to have every print job prompt for a destination, or specify a default output file for automated batch conversions. There's also an option to immediately open the newly created PDF for review, which helps in quickly verifying the result.

Robust Security and Advanced Features

Security is a notable strength. BullZip PDF Printer enables adding password protection and can encrypt documents using either 128-bit or 40-bit encryption. Users can restrict actions on the PDF, such as printing, copying, or editing, adding an extra layer of document control. The software also supports metadata editing, watermarking, quality settings, and integration with external PDF viewers.

For advanced scenarios, BullZip allows automated workflows through job settings and configuration files, such as embedding fonts or specifying custom output behaviors. Enterprise users will appreciate support for multi-user environments and the inclusion of command-line options for scripted operations.

User Experience and Compatibility

Installation is straightforward, and the virtual printer integrates directly into your system’s printing menu. For those producing large numbers of PDFs, BullZip can be set as the default printer. The interface is accessible even to non-technical users, while providing granular controls for those who desire them. The tool is compatible with all recent versions of Windows, including both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

Performance and Limitations

PDFs are produced quickly, and output quality is consistently reliable. However, unlike some commercial PDF suites, BullZip does not offer an integrated preview before printing, and the range of direct editing features is limited. Advanced layout management and batch processing are comparatively sparse unless supplemented with external scripts or manual intervention.
