Never heard of it..

I see this https://www.smartrunsys.com/TournamentSR/Documentation/InstallingAndUsingPdfWriter.pdf


I would not download software from a an "Aggregator" source... typically they have a habit of folding in PUP (potential unwanted programs) read malware/adware. ex MacUpdate, SourceForge, etc... this is exactly how they make their money.

Direct from a Developers website yes, from the App Store yes...
