DevPurple - Ultimate PDF24 Creator Pack

ULTIMATE PDF24 CREATOR PACK

Every release of PDF24 Creator for every version of Windows, on one disc: 64-bit, 32-bit and Arm builds, both the setup program and the administrative installer, and the vendor's own manual.

This pack carries the whole PDF24 Creator line rather than a single installer. The current release, 11.30.1, is here for 64-bit Windows, for 32-bit Windows, and for Windows on Arm. The 9.20.0 release is here for Windows 7 and Windows 8. The 8.6.1 release is here for Windows XP, and it is the last one the vendor published for that system. Every one of them is on the disc as both the EXE setup program and the MSI administrative package, and the vendor's own manual and changelog come with them.

PDF24 Creator works offline. The setup program carries a Java runtime, a Ghostscript, a qpdf, a Tesseract OCR engine and Microsoft WebView2 inside the one file, so it installs completely on a computer that has never seen the internet, and the application runs on your own machine with your files staying on your own machine. That is what makes a disc the right way to install it: nothing about the setup depends on a download.

You do not need any special knowledge to use it. PDF24 Creator installs a printer called PDF24, so the Print command inside any program you already use can send a document to a PDF file, and the desktop program that comes with it opens that PDF for editing, combining, compressing, protecting or converting. Run the installer, follow it, and print something.

What You Can Do With It

  • Make a PDF out of anything. Print to the PDF24 printer from any application, or drag files onto the window, and the result is a PDF.
  • Combine and split. Merge several PDF files into one document, or break one document into several.
  • Reorder and repair pages. Add, remove, extract, rotate, sort and move pages, and join documents with different page sizes.
  • Shrink a PDF. Compress a document to a smaller file, with a web optimize option for files that are going online.
  • Lock and unlock. Protect a PDF with a password and with printing or copying restrictions, and remove a password from a PDF you own.
  • Convert both ways. Turn PDF pages into images, build a PDF from images, and convert Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML and OpenDocument files to PDF.
  • Recognize text in a scan. Optical character recognition turns a scanned page into searchable, selectable text, with language files for more than one hundred languages.
  • Read, mark up and sign. A PDF reader, an annotation and editing view, a form filler, watermark and stamp tools, page numbering and digital signatures are all included.

Every Version Of Windows Is Covered

  • Windows 11 and Windows 10: the current release, PDF24 Creator 11.30.1, in a 64-bit, a 32-bit and an Arm build.
  • Windows 7 and Windows 8: PDF24 Creator 9.20.0 in both a 64-bit and a 32-bit build, which is the line the vendor directs Windows 7 and 8 users to.
  • Windows XP: PDF24 Creator 8.6.1, the highest release the vendor published below 8.7.0, which is the version the vendor names as the cutoff for Windows XP.
  • Windows on Arm: a native Arm64 build for machines such as the Surface Pro X and the Snapdragon laptops, so the application does not fall back to emulation.
  • One disc, every generation: a machine from the Windows XP era and a brand new laptop can both be set up from what is in this pack.

Two Installer Types For Every Build

  • The EXE setup program, which is the one to use for a single computer. It is smaller and it is the file the vendor points people to.
  • The MSI package, which the vendor publishes for administrative distribution on company computers.
  • Documented properties for large rollouts, such as AUTOUPDATE, DESKTOPICONS, FAXPRINTER, REGISTERREADER and EXTENDSHELLCONTEXTMENU, all of them written up in the manual that is on the disc.
  • Auto-update is off by default in the MSI package, which matters on a managed network.
  • Both formats for all three release lines, so an office that still runs Windows 7 can be rolled out the same way as one that runs Windows 11.

The Vendor's Own Manual Is On The Disc

The vendor's manual is a web page rather than a file, so it is saved here for offline reading and it opens in any browser from the disc.

  • The PDF24 Creator 11 Manual, which documents the installers and their command line options, the registry settings behind every part of the application, the language files, the PDF printers, and the command line tools.
  • Scripting and automation, covered in the same manual: pdf24.exe, pdf24-Toolbox.exe, pdf24-Ocr.exe, pdf24-DocTool.exe and pdf24-Reader.exe each have their own section with the available commands.
  • The vendor's changelog, which lists what changed in every release.
  • The Read Me on the disc, which says which file to use and what to expect while installing.

System Requirements

  • Operating system: Windows 11 or Windows 10 for the 11.30.1 files, Windows 7 or Windows 8 for the 9.20.0 files, Windows XP for the 8.6.1 files.
  • Processor: a 64-bit, a 32-bit or an Arm processor, whichever build you install. All three are on the disc.
  • Administrator rights: needed, because the installer adds a printer driver and a Windows service.
  • Disk space: about 1.1 GB for a 64-bit 11.30.1 installation, about 220 MB for a 9.20.0 installation, and about 60 MB for the 8.6.1 build. Each includes the bundled Java runtime and the Ghostscript and Tesseract installations behind the OCR and the file conversion.
  • No internet connection needed for the installation or for the manual, both of which are on the disc.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this item delivered?

This is a physical item (USB drive or DVD) that will be shipped to you. Choose your format when you order.

Which file should I install?

Open the PDF24 Creator folder and pick by your Windows version and your processor. Windows 11 or 10 on 64-bit uses pdf24-creator-11.30.1-x64.exe, on 32-bit uses pdf24-creator-11.30.1-x86.exe, and on Arm uses pdf24-creator-11.30.1-arm64.exe. Windows 7 and Windows 8 use the 9.20.0 files. Windows XP uses pdf24-creator-8.6.1-x86.exe. The Read Me on the disc repeats all of this.

Does this work on a Mac?

No. The vendor publishes PDF24 Creator for Windows, and its own pages direct Mac users to the browser tools on its website, so this pack is Windows only.

Is the manual included?

Yes, in the form the vendor publishes it. The PDF24 Creator 11 Manual and the changelog are web pages, and both are saved onto the media so they open in any browser with no internet connection. The manual covers the installers and their options, the registry settings, the language files and the command line tools.

Why are there both an EXE and an MSI of the same version?

The EXE setup program is the one for an individual computer. The MSI package is the one the vendor publishes for administrative distribution, so a company can install it silently across many machines and control properties such as the desktop icons, the fax printer and the Reader registration. They are the same application, and you only need one of them.

Does it need an internet connection to install?

No. The setup program carries a Java runtime, Ghostscript, qpdf, Tesseract and Microsoft WebView2 inside the single file, so the installation completes on a computer that is offline. The application then runs entirely on your own machine, and your files are never uploaded anywhere.

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. PDF24 Creator is the offline desktop application, not the website. The vendor's own support page states that files remain locally on your computer and are not uploaded to the internet. The browser tools on the vendor's website are a separate service, and this pack does not use them.

Does this software need a product key or activation?

No. PDF24 Creator is licensed for private and commercial use. There is no product key, no activation step, no registration, no account, and no time limit. It may be installed on as many computers as you like.

Is it portable? Can it run from the disc?

No. PDF24 Creator installs into Windows, because the features it provides depend on a printer driver and a Windows service being registered. It is not a portable application. Install it from the disc, and copy the pack to your computer first so that the installer does not have to read the whole disc.

Do I need to copy the pack to my computer first?

For DVD orders, copy the pack folder to your computer (for example, your Desktop) first, then run the installer from there. DVDs have much slower read speeds than USB drives, and a DVD install run directly from the disc will be slow.
