Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. A clean install.

A (Chinese - digitally signed SHENZHEN QIXINGSHI TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD) company without name and address:
"iStonsoft Studio founded on September 23, 2007, which is dedicated to developing the most powerful, and user-friendly Android Tools, PC Utilities Tools and Apple iPad/iPod/iPhone Tools, as well as PDF/ePub Tools for Windows & Mac users all over the world.

Looking forward to the future, we will continue to persist with providing you more useful software and higher quality service to fulfill your software demands. "

The software is on the market since 2012:
http://www.istonsoft.com/upgrade-info/pdf-creator.html

The EXE is from May 2014.

There are a lot of PDF creators on the market, installed as printers or as standalone products, free and paid. I am interested in a special feature:
" It works as a top-notch tool with multi-functional performance, which can finish the conversion within any quality losing." can or will? How does it work with .mobi or .epub? The company has some other .epub related software, so they should know.

A small not resizable window opens, the German translation is simply bad. You add your file, select the output and "convert"

A first test with a simple .epub failed. Adobe could not read the output:

A second test with another epub file came to the same result, an unreadable PDF file. Now I took a most simple, text only epub from Gutenberg.org.
Miscellaneous Pieces, in Prose by John Aikin and Anna Lætitia Barbauld, here : http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/48056. Could not be opened with Acrobot or the Windows 8 Reader.:

Useless! Uninstalled via reboot. Can anybody else produce a PDF from .epub?

And a warning for those, who use voice control:

Have a nice sunday!

As I can see at the negative votes, I am not the only one that disagree with the two critics.

About "uninstalled via reboot" without mentioning a certain product, I remember that Karl several times wrote, what apps he uses and recommends. Beside this, there are many good and useful tools. I for my part am using Shadow Defender, a giveaway from gaotd (many thanks!), since - because of Karl's "uninstalled via reboot" plus his information about it - I also uninstall via reboot, I saved a lot of time and avoided anger.

About Karl's "obsession" for names and adresses, I feel he is thinking, that it is good to know, who is REALLY responsible for a product. In the predigital times we used to say "paper is patient", you can write on it what you want - true or false.

In general I would like to say that Karl's comments are short, neutral, sometimes funny, and always very helpful. E.g. this time I was also interested in converting ePub to PDF, and his test saved me - once more - lot of time.

I can’t understand your obsession (for want of a better word) about names and addresses.
Lenny, if I showed up at your house - refusing to give my name and address- but promised to clean your house or do some other chores, would you let me move in? Would you trust me, even though I did the promised chores? Why would you trust a company's software to play nice on your computer, even though it does what it claims?

Also, I believe there are some laws that Europe, or maybe it's just Germany that requires a software company to provide a name and address. It's good to know whether companies are complying with the law in your area.
