Create Multilingual PDFs from Any Windows App Using a Custom Virtual PDF Printer Driver
Tired of emailing yourself documents just to convert them to PDF? Me too.
I used to spend hours every week manually exporting invoices, contracts, and presentations to PDF. And if I needed them in a different language? Forget it the formatting would go sideways, fonts would vanish, and I'd have to re-edit everything just to get it right. Total nightmare.
Then I found VeryPDF Virtual PDF Printer Driver SDK and everything changed.
The Hidden Power of a Virtual PDF Printer SDK
I stumbled onto this tool while helping a client automate document generation for their multilingual app. Their issue? They wanted to generate clean, consistent PDFs from Windows applications without messing with print dialogs or third-party PDF editors.
I figured I'd test drive the VeryPDF Virtual PDF Printer SDK.
Here's what I found.
This SDK installs as a virtual printer on Windows. That means any Windows app that can print Word, Excel, browser, POS software, even custom-built systems can now "print" directly to PDF.
But it's not just about making PDFs.
You can fully control how those PDFs are created from naming files to choosing where they're saved, securing them with encryption, embedding fonts, and even auto-emailing them after creation.
No more print dialogs. No more click-fests. Just clean, instant PDFs in any language.
3 Features That Actually Saved My Sanity
1. Auto-Save With Custom File Paths
I can set up rules like:
-
Auto-name files based on date and time
-
Send them straight to a folder of my choice
-
Skip all dialogs no popups, no prompts
For a logistics client with hundreds of daily shipping slips, this alone saved 34 hours a week. Their admin just hits print, and boom PDFs show up, named and filed automatically.
2. Multilingual Support That Actually Works
This was a big one.
A lot of PDF tools glitch when you try printing documents in Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic. Fonts get weird, characters disappear, spacing gets janky.
VeryPDF nailed this. It supports foreign-language Windows systems out of the box, and embedded fonts make sure your text shows up exactly how it should even if someone opens it on a totally different computer.
It made cross-border compliance workflows much smoother for a fintech I worked with especially when archiving client statements in local languages.
3. Royalty-Free Deployment at Scale
If you're a developer, listen up:
Once you license the SDK, you can bundle it into your own app royalty free.
I did this for a point-of-sale system where each terminal needed to print receipts to PDF without hardware printers. We silently installed the printer driver during setup, added a few lines of code, and we were done.
Mass deployment. No extra fees. Zero friction.
Who This Is For
If you're a:
-
Developer building an app that needs print-to-PDF functionality
-
IT manager tired of managing clunky PDF tools for multilingual teams
-
Business owner looking to streamline document workflows
-
Software vendor wanting a custom-branded PDF printer for your customers
...this SDK is your shortcut.
What It Replaces
Other PDF libraries? They're powerful, but they come with headaches:
-
Tedious to code each element (text, lines, images)
-
Not friendly for complex layouts or foreign scripts
-
Expensive if you need licensing for redistribution
VeryPDF skips all that by piggybacking on print something every app already supports.
It's the easiest way to create rock-solid PDFs from anything on Windows.
Final Thoughts (and a Strong Nudge)
This tool saved me time, sanity, and a lot of client complaints.
It's dead simple to set up, plays nice with all Windows systems, supports virtually any language, and lets you lock down your PDFs like a fortress.
If you deal with high volumes of documents, multilingual output, or want to PDF-enable your app, I'd highly recommend giving it a spin.
