PDFPrinter is an ancient software. For users of Psion handhelds of the yesteryears, PDFPrinter is one of those "must-haves" and I am still using it on my Psion S-5mx to print documents into PDF files to be sent to other devices. It’s "one of a kind" application which will ease your life because in this modern world, ALL modern devices can read PDF files.

Good news for S60 3rd Edition users, the developer of PDFPrinter (and also PDF+), Sander Van Der Wal (Hi Sander!) has just released PDFPrinter for S60 3rd Edition smartphones. With PDFPrinter, you can create PDF files on your Eseries smartphones. However, it is available for Eseries smartphones only because other S60 3rd Edition smartphones do not come with any printing capability.

More information after the break.

• PdfPrinter (for S60 3rd edition smartphones) creates PDF version 1.2 (Adobe® Acrobat® 3.x), 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) and 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) files.

• You can set the PDF properties of the file, such as the title, the author and important keywords.

• PdfPrinter compresses the file, making it less demanding on storage space and also making it faster and cheaper to email to another party.

• You can restrict access to the file by specifying whether the contents can be copied, printed or viewed by special-needs viewers.

• You can encrypt the file with the Standard 40 bits encryption (Acrobat 3.x and 4.x) and the much safer 128 bits encryption schemes.

• It is not possible to use the Standard PDF Symbol and Zapf Dingbats fonts. Neither is it possible to embed fonts.

There are some issues you need to be aware of when creating PDF documents with PdfPrinter (for S60 3rd edition smartphones).

• Only characters that are part of the codepage 1252 character set are added to the PDF file, other characters are replaced by a space.

• PdfPrinter cannot be loaded by applications that have more Capabilities than PdfPrinter itself. This includes most of the built-in applications, such as the Agenda.

• The built-in word processing and spreadsheet applications can print fine to PdfPrinter.
