Silent installer for PDF24 Creator.


The free PDF Creator and PDF Converter supplied by PDF24.org works with all Windows programs and has a lot of features you wouldn't expect from free software: create PDF files from almost any Windows application, re-order pages, merge, split, and password-protect your existing PDF files.

The software is available from http://www.pdf24.org/.

PDF24 Creator 6.3.2

See http://en.pdf24.org/forum/about826.html for command line switches.

On Windows 7 Systems you will get an Error because of the printerdriver is not trusted. To solve this Problem you can install the Geek Software GmbH Cert before installing PDF24:

ertutil.exe -f -addstore "TrustedPublisher" PDF24-Zertifikat.p7b


Newer versions (>= 2.8.7 should no longer cause this erroe message, even if you do not install the certficate in advance (see http://de.pdf24.org/pdf-creator-changelog.html#v2.8.7 - in german only)
