About PDFCreator
PDFCreator allows any Windows program to easily create PDF files by using it like a printer so as to save to a PDF. PDFCreator home page is https://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator
PDFCreator is Open Source software and licensed under the terms of the Affero General Public License (AGPL). However, the installer contains bundled offers which you can decline. You can purchase PDFCreator Professional which offers MSI installers (http://docs.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator/latest/en/pdfcreator/installing-pdfcreator/msi-installer/#msiinstaller) which has no bundled offers.
PDFCreator versions 4 and below supports command line switches to automate the install (and not install the bundled offers).

According to http://docs.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator/latest/en/pdfcreator/installing-pdfcreator/

We strongly suggest using the MSI Installer if you'd like to deploy PDFCreator Professional or Terminal Server. Things 3 8 5 months. The legacy setup is available until June 2020 in the Download Section on our website.

You can create a custom INF with your preferences by running PDFCreator-4_0_2-Setup_legacy /SAVEINF='pdfcreator402.inf' and selecting custom options (and declining the bundled offers!)

PDFCreator 1.1.0 - 1.2.3
PDFCreator allows any Windows program to easily create PDF files by using it like a printer so as to save to a PDF. It is available from http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator.
Version 1.1.0 added the ability to install the latest version without uninstalling the previous versions and rebooting. This allows for a completely silent install which you couldn't do in version 1.0.1.
Please note Version 1.2.1 includes several files related to bundled toolbars that will trigger alerts in NOD32. The author claims these are false positives that only NOD32 detects. See DoPDF for an alternative that does not include toolbars.
Explanations of all command line parameters are available here: http://www.pdfforge.org/content/setup-command-line-parameters
You can also use the /FORCEINSTALL flag which ignores previously installed versions. You might want to consider using this.
If you don't want the Yahoo Search toolbar installed in browsers add the /DontUseYahooSearch switch. This is the same as using 'Toolbar=0' in the INF file.
This is a sample PDFCreator-1_2_1.inf without the toolbar or desktop icons. Setting NoIcons=1 will remove the start menu folder.
Please consider the 'Dir'/'Lang'-Setting in the inf file. You can dynamically change it, depending on your OS (x86 or x64) and language, or take the standard setting. The installer will take the system standard setting of programfiles folder, if you remove the entry after 'Dir=' or 'Lang='For dynamically changing the ini-file settings within batch file processing, take a look at http://home.mnet-online.de/horst.muc/wbat32d.htm#inifileIt is very easy to use.
To create a custom PDFCreator-1_2_1.inf, run the installer using:
Remove 'Application Updater' and 'Toolbar'
If you have accidentally installed the 'Pdfforge Toolbar' and a service called Application Updater and want to get rid of them, define update commands like those:

PDFCreator 1.0.1
Cisdem Pdf Compressor For Mac
PDFCreator 1.0.1 is not available as an MSI package. Customization has to be prepared via commandline arguments to the installer, or via the LOADINF method; both of them allow for a customized installation without toolbar and desktop icon.
Note that the uninstall string is 'PDFCreator' for both versions, so I added a check on the executable version number just to make sure. The version in the executable for 1.0.1 is '1.0.0.1' rather than the expected '1.0.1.0'.
Note also the call to unins000.exe before install/upgrade. This should remove any previous versions that may have been manually installed. The exit code will be 0 if a previous installation was removed, otherwise it is undefined.
Below you find an excerpt from 1.0.0 history.txt, while PDFForge homepage http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator states 'Supports Windows Vista and Windows 7'. Version 1.0.1 adds a few more languages and fixes a few minor bugs. See the History.txt in the program installation directory for more details.
To create PDFCreator-1_0_1.inf, you can install PDFCreator manually using:
To use an existing inf file:
For your convenience, here is a PDFCreator-1_0_1.inf without toolbar (Components<>browseraddon) and desktop icons(Tasks<>desktopicon,desktopiconcommon,quicklaunchicon). Please change 'Dir' and 'Lang' entries according to your system/language:
All possible components/languages/options:
The commandline options for customizing the installation are still available:
Disabling Automatic Update Checking
The update interval can be controlled or disabled by two methods: importing a registry file or calling the reg command as an additional install/update action.
The following values can be forced for the UpdateInterval key:
The registry file simply contains the following:
Instead of importing a separate registry file you can use this line:
PDFCreator 0.9.8
PDFCreator 0.9.8 is not available as an MSI package. Customization has to be prepared via commandline arguments to the installer; this allows for example the installation without toolbar and desktop icon.
Version 0.9.8 does not upgrade from 0.9.7 (it complains about the package being already installed) so I use a different package id ('pdfcreator-097' for the old version, 'pdfcreator-098' for the new), so that the old version is removed before the new is installed.
Panotour pro 2 5. Note that the uninstall string is 'PDFCreator' for both versions, so I added a check on the executable version number just to make sure.
Note also the call to unins000.exe before install/upgrade. This should solve the 'package already installed' problem mentioned above. This also serves to remove any previous versions that may have been manually installed.
Install/Upgrade also merges in the registry tree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE a registry file named 'PDFCreator-0_9_8-ZeroUpdateInterval.reg' in order to disable the 'auto update check' mechanism. The registry file simply contains the following:
The following values can be forced for the UpdateInterval key:
Instead of using the 'regedit' line and a separate pdfcreator.reg you can use this line:
PDFCreator 0.9.7
PDFCreator 0.9.7 is not available as an MSI package. Customization has to be prepared via commandline arguments to the installer; this allows for example the installation without toolbar and desktop icon.
Version 0.9.7 does not upgrade from 0.9.6 (it complains about the package being already installed) so I use a different package id ('pdfcreator-096' for the old version, 'pdfcreator-097' for the new), so that the old version is removed before the new is installed.
Note that the uninstall string is 'PDFCreator' for both versions, so I added a check on the executable version number just to make sure.
Note also the call to unins000.exe before install/upgrade. This should solve the 'package already installed' problem mentioned above. This also serves to remove any previous versions that may have been manually installed.
Below you find an excerpt from 0.9.7 history.txt, which states Windows 7 Beta support (Vista support since version 0.9.6) and more.
Removing the toolbar
The toolbar can also be removed with the following command after installation:
PDFCreator 0.9.3
PDFCreator 0.9.3 is available as an MSI package. Using the standard MSI install/uninstall seems to work for me.
The reg file is:
Upgrading to 0.9.3 from an already installed older release (0.8.1 in my case)
The previous package block works when 0.9.3 is the first release to be installed.The package block below resolves 2 problems.
- upgrading force reboot -> so i added a /norestart to msiexec
The reg file is :
There is a last bug to solve. I'll post the solution here later.
PDFCreator 0.9.1
PDFCreator 0.9.1 comes in the handy form of a MSI package.
Unfortunately, when you install it, it is possible that a normal user will not be able to use this printer - this has to be corrected with rundll printui.dll,PrintUIEntry... The complete silent installer and uninstaller looks like this:
Note: while I was testing this, I installed and uninstalled PDFCreator 0.9.1 without rebooting the PC. After yet another installation, the installer popped up a window, saying that a restart is necessary. So perhaps if you're upgrading from the older PDFCreator version, a restart after uninstalling that old version might be a good idea.

Questions
- How do you prevent installing the browser toolbar?
There is a way to prevent installing the toolbar when installing with the Inno Setup based .exe.Just use /components='program,ghostscript,languages,languagesenglish'.These will install only these ones.But on sourceforge, an MSI package of 0.9.3 without toolbar is available.
