New PDF editor: FlexiPDF from SoftMaker
tomos:
For anyone who might want to check out FlexiPDF, there is (currently) a free basic version for download (+ a donation to charity from Softmaker with each download).
See here for details

(Naturally they have a trial of the full/non-basic programme at the main Softmaker site)
Joe Hone:
According to this security researcher, the executable installers for SoftMaker FlexiPDF suffer from a dll hijacking vulnerability:

Cloq:
I am hoping FlexiPDF will have a portable version of these years.
I quite like how the Softmaker Office is portable.

Can the virtual feature "Print to PDF" even be possible in a portable version?
Also, one reason the program is easy to use is because it is part of the context menu.
I am just trying to say that I think it never will be portable.

Hm.. I am assuming print to pdf is a "driver", so when you start the program for the first time, it could ask the user if the user would like a pdf printer installed on the machine. Adding to context menu (assuming you mean right click menu) is a registry key, Winrar and 7zip do that on demand, add to context menu.
Basically hoping for a new breed of portable apps, especially the way Win10 is shaping up. :mad:
