Solid PDF Creator is proprietary document processing software which converts virtually any Windows-based document into a PDF. Suitable for home and office use, the program appears as a printer option in the Print menu of any print-capable Windows application.[3] The same technology used in the software's Solid Framework SDK is licensed by Adobe for Acrobat X[4]

History
