Bullzip PDF Printer review
A Windows PDF printer with useful automation, signing, encryption, and upload features.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Bullzip PDF Printer is a Windows virtual printer that creates PDF and other output files from Windows applications. It suits individuals and organizations that want to add PDF creation to existing desktop workflows rather than adopt a browser-based document platform. Its scope includes configurable output destinations and filenames, watermarks, background documents, document properties, password protection, AES encryption, digital signatures, PDF/A-1b output, and document merging.
Pricing is structured around a free Community edition and three paid, one-time licenses. Community supports personal use and printing to PDF from Windows applications. Standard costs $29 for a single-user license and adds merging with an existing document, multiple PDF printers, and offline installation. Professional costs $69 and adds Terminal Server, RDP, and Citrix support, along with AES encryption and digital signing using certificate files. Expert costs $139 and adds certificate-store signing, SFTP upload, and printing created PDFs to another printer. The paid tiers provide a clear path from basic desktop output to managed environments and certificate-based workflows.
Automation is the product’s strongest differentiator beyond virtual printing. Command-line control, COM/ActiveX, and a Microsoft .NET API support application-driven PDF generation, while FTP and SFTP extend delivery options. Multiple printer instances and option sets can help separate output configurations, and the Professional and Expert editions address Terminal Server, RDP, and Citrix environments. Bullzip PDF Printer is a good fit for Windows-centered teams that need local printing plus document processing or automation. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a broad cloud platform or a workflow centered on non-Windows applications.
