PDFCreator 6.1.0 is out

This release brings a mix of helpful improvements, bug fixes, and technical updates. From improved ways to rotate images to better handling of encrypted files and a smoother user experience, PDFCreator continues to support your everyday tasks.

You can now rotate individual pages within the preview window before saving or merging. This makes quick adjustments easier without needing to reprocess the document or do so after finalizing the document.

User tokens like <FileIndex> now support improved placement and formatting. This gives you more control over how page numbers appear in file names.

Improvements

• PDFCreator Professional & PDFCreator Terminal Server now have a new option to configure GPO-equivalent settings via the HKLM registry.
• Pages can now be rotated directly in the preview.
• Automatic merging now works with encryption when owner passwords match.
• When creating image files, it is now possible to define the position of the page number in the file name with the <FileIndex> token.
• Improved the user guide for better searchability and navigation.

Bugs fixed 

• PDFCreator Terminal Server now correctly runs the licensing service under the user specified during setup, rather than always defaulting to the system account.
• Resolved an issue where scrolling did not work on expanded previews in the merge window.
• Updated 7-Zip to prevent installation failures caused by certain Windows Defender settings.
• Page numbers in the merge view now correctly reflect the number of merged images.
• Fixed an issue where special characters like French accents could break during direct PDF conversion.

Other changes 

• The COM interface is back for PDFCreator Free. It was removed in 6.0 due to .NET 8 limitations, now reinstated with a working solution.
• Updated to Ghostscript 10.05.01 due to multiple security issues in Ghostscript.
