PrintToPDF 2.3.1 creates simple PDF files from any app. This release can suppress the application version number from the creator line in the PDF document info. The main reason for this feature is that apparently some applications include the user's serial number in the version resource. It also assumes the euro sign is present in Mac Roman fonts. Previously, PrintToPDF substituted the euro sign from the Symbol font. This change should give better results when printing PDFs to some printers.
