System requirements

Operating system

Windows 10 or Windows 11 for 11.32.0. Windows 7 and Windows 8 stay on the 9.20.0 branch. No Mac and no Linux. Citrix is supported, and business use is free.

Processor

Install the build that matches the PC: x64, x86, or ARM64. The x64 installer refuses to run on ARM64 Windows and tells you to use the ARM64 package.

Printer mode

Driverless printing needs Windows Protected Print, available from Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025 on x64 and ARM64. The classic PostScript printer works on the supported Windows versions, including inside a Remote Desktop session.

Toolbox

The Toolbox needs WebView2, either the bundled runtime 153.0.4234.32 or the Evergreen runtime already on the PC. PDF/A validation needs the Java component. 9.20.0 has neither Toolbox, nor OpenJDK, nor WebView2.

Disk space

The publisher notes do not state a minimum amount of RAM, so none is listed. The download itself is 387 MB for the main x64 EXE, before the components are unpacked.

Choose an installer

Each button names the platform, the version, and the published size. EXE is for one computer. MSI is for a company rollout. On ARM Windows, use the ARM64 row.

9.20.0 is based on 11.30.0 and does not include Toolbox, OpenJDK, or WebView2. That is the branch that still installs on Windows 7 and 8. The EXE setup is Inno Setup 7 and is offered in 44 languages, among them Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Korean, Swedish, Thai, and Vietnamese. It follows the Windows light or dark setting, and it supports right-to-left languages.

Version history

  1. 11.32.0, 2 November 2026

    Toolbox categories and a Ctrl+K command bar. Validate e-invoice and Validate PDF/A. PAdES signatures with SHA-256. Poster printing. The x64 installer refuses ARM64 Windows. Updates keep printer settings and the classic-versus-driverless choice. MSI no longer rolls back on error 1920. Installer engine signed. 44 setup languages. Driverless landscape pages and per-page font embedding fixed. 32-bit Windows gets a real 32-bit Java runtime. WebView2 updated to 153.0.4234.32.

  2. 11.31.0, 5 October 2026

    Driverless PDF printer for Windows Protected Print, on x64 and ARM64. Optional Ghostscript, qpdf, Tesseract, OpenJDK, and WebView2 during setup. Reader print dialog with a live preview, extended search, and a signatures panel. PDF/A-4 and PDF/A-4f. This is also the update that replaced classic printers with driverless ones, reset some printer settings, and introduced the landscape and file-size bugs fixed in 11.32.0.

  3. 9.20.0, 9 April 2026

    A slimmer line based on 11.30.0. No Toolbox, no OpenJDK, no WebView2. x64 EXE 68 MB. Still the build people use on Windows 7 and Windows 8. It does not include the 11.32.0 printer, signature, or installer fixes.

Check the signature

Right-click the installer, open Properties, and open Digital Signatures. Version 11.32.0 signs the installer engine, not only the outer package. The program files of the driverless printer are signed too, so App Control for Business or AppLocker does not need a hash rule that expires on every update.

This page does not publish a SHA-256 for 11.32.0. Printing a hash that was not computed from the current file would pretend to be a check. A SHA-256 that circulated for the older 11.29.1 MSI belongs to 11.29.1. One catalog still offered that older build in a February 2026 scan. If the version on the file is not 11.32.0 or the 9.20.0 branch you meant to get, do not run it.

More of the reasoning is on the trust and security page.

If antivirus complains

Surfshark has quarantined a temp file after an install. One report on the old 11.20.1 build named Drop.Win32.RegStartupWin. Sophos has called update.exe malicious behavior. The publisher's position is that official installers are signed, that 11.20.1 is outdated, and that a current detection should be reported with the detection name and the full path.

11.32.0 also cleans up after itself: each Java call no longer leaves a permanent temp file, leftovers older than two days are deleted, and uninstall removes the PDF24 temp folders and logs. Steps are in the antivirus guide.
