Summary: PDF Producer is an excellent product.
Review: After seeing the bad reviews, I almost didn't purchase PDF Producer. However, I called Data Becker (during normal business hours at 617-614-0600) and, with very little trouble, got a live person on the phone who answered all of my questions and allayed my concerns. Two good hints: It only works with Win 2000 or XP (as it says right on the specs); and, it's important to close ALL programs (including printer software) running in the backgroun before loading.
PDF Producer loaded flawlessly in a few minutes on my Windows XP system with MS Office 2003. It works just like any other printer driver, and I personally like the idea that it doesn't intimately integrate with other programs (such as putting an icon on the task bars) -- if something does go wrong with PDF Producer my other programs are still in business.
The product works excellently -- making PDF files of anything that can normally be printed. The PDF Producer settings needed a bit of tweaking to get the quality and file size I wanted, and this was easily done following the built-in help screens or the manual that came with the retail package.
PDF Producer doesn't have all the functionality of Adobe Acrobat, but at about 1/6 the price it is a very cost-effective solution for turning just about anything into a basic PDF.

Summary: Worked great for me.
Review: I came across this product while looking for a low cost alternative to Acrobat and was quite pleased to see how well its worked. Its simply a print driver that creates a PDF instead of printing a document. The install is quick and the product barely takes up any room on my computer! I initially had some problems with an older version, but the tech support team pointed me to a patch which resolved my problem before I could get worried about it!

Summary: Great product
Review: I don't have much to say, except the negative commments are all wrong. Windows XP, handled a 35,000 word file no problem or errors. Great value. I think maybe other pdf vendors are making these comments. Contrary to one website review, the file size was no different to other products tested either. If you have the money, get the Adobe product. Otherise, this is 90% there, for a fraction the cost.

Summary: No problems here
Review: I have not had any of the problems (so far) as the other reviewers of this product (I must have a newer version, though I can't find a version number anywhere). I am running Win XP Professional and it was easy to load. It's also easy to use, except I wish it had its own icon in the tool bar of each Windows application (i.e., word) instead of going to the print button. But, it's cheaper than the Acrobat Professional and it does just what I need. I'm happy!

Summary: lack of support
Review: I installed the product on XP machine. Every boot I get dialog boxes about my new found hardware - printer. Tried remove / reinstall, same.Several requests for support to Data Becker have went unanswered. They do not care. They are selling (what is to me) a defective product and they do not care. They have my money and they will not support my product purchase. They do not care. You must never purchase Data Becker products. You must never allow your family or friends to purchase Data Becker products.

Review: I should have read the reviews on this product before buying it. It would have saved me a lot of time and trouble trying to contact Databecker for support . What support? They don't answer your emails. Since they do not provide live telephone support and ask you to either leave a voicemail or send an email, how are you supposed to get any support if they don't respond to either? My advice - don't touch any Data becker product unless you are 100% confident you can get it up and running without any support whatsoever.
