PDF24 is a program that helps users create new PDF documents easily. There are several similar programs available on the market, and PDF24 holds its own in this category. The thing that attracts users to PDF24 because it makes creating new PDF files as easy printing a document. Once it has been installed on your computer, PDF24 will appear as a separate icon on your computer's control panel under "printers and devices."

Users need only select the PDF24 option whenever they use the print function within almost any program. Once the user has selected PDF24, the program will ask you to choose whether you want to view, edit, save, or email the newly created PDF document. It should be noted that testers have found the editing function in PDF24 to be a bit confounding at times. Editing features are rather limited, so it may be better to select another program if you require extensive editing options. If you select the email option, you will see that your default program for emailing opens and creates a new message. The PDF file will be attached to the message automatically.

One thing that is less than ideal about PDF24 is that the program does not include a help function to assist users who have questions or run into any issues they cannot figure out for themselves. This isn't really a major problem since most of the program's features are simple enough for the average user to learn pretty easily and quickly.
