Hi all.

Apologies in advance if I've put this in the wrong place.

I've been using PDF reDirect for about a month now, have to say I'm a big fan. very quick, and a very simple to use interface.
The only thing that I miss from Acrobat is the ability to create a PDF using the right-click menu on an MS Office document. For instance, I used to open up the folder that contained the file I wanted to PDF, right-clicked it, and selected "Convert to PDF" or "Convert to PDF and email".

Is something like this possible with PDF reDirect?

Hi,

   Your post is in the right location. Smile

   Yes, what you are asking is possible, although it might need a bit of work. I have resisted the urge to "pollute" the Explorer context menu, but I could make the installation optional.

   One immediate solution is to right-click the Office file, and to choose "Print". This will convert the file to a PDF (as long as PDF reDirect is set as the default printer).

   Anyway, I have added your request to my "todo" list for the version after the next one (v2.2.3) which is nearly ready.

   Cheers!

And there I was thinking that filling up context menus was a mark of quality software!
Thanks for including it in your backlog - looking forward to trying it out.
