PrimoPDF is great! Its fast, and everybody I've send files to have been able to read them.
I'd be willing to pay a modest sum of money for a collection of application plug-ins to make it even faster to use. In my vision, the plug-in would default the PDF name to the document's default name within the application. In browsers, a check box might allow you to switch the default name between the name displayed in the title bar and a sanitized (ie legal characters only) version of the URL. Each plug-in would also have an application-specific list of Favorite directories that we could create by browsing or drag-and-drop from Explorer. With this, a click of the mouse would let me change the destination directory for the PDF.
I'd also like the plugin to support multiple toolbar buttons. One button would bring up the standard PrimoPDF option panel. Others would support single-click PDF generation, taking a set of defaults users could determine when they created the tool bar.
Is it possible for toolbar buttons to support a Properties panel from its context menu? It would also be nice to be able to alter the options for a single-click PDF button after the fact.
Of course, I'd like the package to include plug-ins for all major browsers. This is where I find myself wanting to save PDF's most often, rather than trusting that the page will still be there when I want to go back to it. And browsing is a rapid-fire activity. I have a need for speed to keep my mind warping along!
Plugins for Office apps, to me would be a second priority. When I'm taking the time to create something, the extra bit of time to use existing PrimoPDF facilities isn't a big deal.
So what do YOU all think?
