Bullzip PDF Printer is a virtual printer that creates PDF files from any application with a print dialog. Beyond basic conversion it adds password protection, watermarks, PDF merging, image output, and archiving options.
Bullzip PDF Printer is a virtual printer that converts anything you can print into a PDF file, with a settings dialog that does far more than name the output. Choose it as the printer, click Print, and a window appears where the destination, quality preset, security, watermarks, and document properties can be adjusted before the file is written. The finished PDF can be appended to an existing document, saved as an image, or attached to a new email. Because the printer covers both a one-click default path and detailed per-job settings, it handles everything from a quick scan archive to a batch of signed reports.
Where a minimal print driver stops at producing a file, this one keeps going. Settings can be saved and reused, quality presets trade file size against fidelity for screen reading, printing, ebooks, or prepress output, and the saved location can be remembered so repeat jobs do not ask again. Documents can be archived in PDF/A form for long-term storage, metadata such as title, author, and keywords can be filled in as the file is created, and a digital certificate can sign the result. For a straightforward print-to-PDF job with no extra steps, CutePDF Writer remains the lighter option, while this printer suits documents that need security or structure.
Bullzip PDF Printer is the choice when PDF creation is part of a document process rather than a one-off. The same print dialog produces a protected, watermarked, correctly titled PDF, so invoices, contracts, and reports can be issued without a second pass in a PDF editor. Appending and prepending mean a new job can extend an existing file, which is how scanned chapters, monthly statements, or signed addenda get combined into one document. Output is not limited to PDF either: the same job can be written as BMP, JPEG, PCX, PNG, or TIFF when an image is needed instead. Archiving rules, quality presets, and background overlays cover the cases where a plain print-to-PDF tool runs out of road. For repeatable work, the command line interface, COM interface, and .NET API let other software drive the printer without a user at the keyboard.
Bullzip PDF Printer installs as a printer, so any program with a print dialog can produce a PDF: choose the printer, click Print, and pick a name and location. Page range, orientation, and paper size come from the same dialog used for paper output.
Every job can prompt for a destination, or the printer can be configured to write to the same file or folder each time, with recent save locations remembered between sessions. Finished files can also be uploaded over FTP or SFTP, or opened in a new email with the PDF already attached.
PDFs produced by Bullzip PDF Printer can be locked with a password using AES 256-bit or 128-bit encryption, or the older standard 40-bit and 128-bit schemes when a legacy reader requires them. Separate settings control what a reader is permitted to do after opening the document.
A watermark can be added as text with its own size, rotation, and transparency settings, which handles drafts, confidential stamps, and branding without editing the source document. Existing PDF pages can also be superimposed as a background, so letterhead and templates are applied during conversion.
Bullzip PDF Printer can attach a new print job to an existing PDF instead of creating a separate file, adding pages at the end or the beginning. That makes it practical to build one long document from signed forms, monthly statements, or chapters scanned on different days.
The same print job can be written as BMP, JPEG, PCX, PNG, or TIFF instead of PDF, which covers thumbnail generation and picture-based archives. Quality presets for screen, printer, ebook, and prepress output trade resolution against file size before conversion starts.
Output can conform to PDF/A for documents that must stay readable for years, with title, author, subject, and keywords written into the file at creation time. A digital certificate can sign the PDF as well, so recipients can check that a report or contract has not been altered.
Every setting has a command line equivalent, and COM plus .NET interfaces allow another program to drive the printer directly. That means batch conversion, unattended scheduled jobs, and integration into an existing application are all possible without a user clicking through dialogs.
Open the document, choose Print, and select Bullzip PDF Printer as the printer. A settings window then appears where the file name, destination, quality, security, and other options can be reviewed, and the PDF is written once the job is confirmed.
The installer checks for the components the printer relies on, such as a PostScript-to-PDF converter like Ghostscript, and offers to fetch what is missing. Optional helpers add extra behaviour, but the printer works with the core converter in place.
Yes. Encryption options cover AES 256-bit and 128-bit passwords as well as the older 40-bit and 128-bit standard schemes, and permission settings decide what a reader may do with the file after opening it.
Yes. The append and prepend options in Bullzip PDF Printer attach the current print job to an existing document, adding pages at the end or the beginning. This is a common way to combine scanned chapters or signed forms into a single PDF.
Yes. The same job can be written as BMP, JPEG, PCX, PNG, or TIFF, which is useful when a picture or thumbnail is needed rather than a document. Quality presets control the trade-off between resolution and file size.
Yes. Every setting has a command line equivalent, and the COM and .NET interfaces let another application submit jobs and control the prompts, which suits scheduled batches and integration into existing software.
