The ScanSoft PDF Create 4 is not available anymore. The ScanSoft developers have been acquired by Nuance which redeveloped all their applications and retiring the old ones.
If you want to continue using their PDF solutions, access the Products page and you'll see all the available options. The standard version of the Power PDF Converter solution costs around $100.
How come, every time I want to print, ScanSoftPDF Create comes out as a printer. I always accidentally press print, where does the printed document go? It does not come out in my printer. It worries me, it might go to third party.

The window that appears when using this software is called virtual printing, which means you create a PDF file that can be saved on the computer. Afterwards, open the PDF file and go to File > Print. You will have the possibility to physically print it. This application is used to create PDF files, and sometimes this process is called the virtual printing of a PDF file, meaning that you take various content like documents, pictures, charts, etc, then "print them" to PDF.
I have tested the application, and there is nothing wrong with it. This is just the way it works.
With this application all you can do is to create PDF files. Therefore, if you want an application that can help you protect your PDF files, I suggest you search on the Software Informer application's database. If you use this feature, you can find many applications (freeware and shareware).
I developed a program which currently allows printing of a DOC file, but the specs require only PDF files. Is there a way to call Scansoft and give it a predetermined file name and location and not have it display the "save to file" dialog box? In other words to execute it silently.

Yes. You can call the application into an C++ program, but to do this you will need the SDK (Software Development Kit) from the developer. This package contains program's library that you need to include into your application. However, the SDK is not free, and the only way to obtain it is by contacting the developer. Use the official website to do this.

The application allows you to create forms with field that can be filled, however, you might need to visit your local legal forms counselor because he is the one who can give you those forms. After that, you use the ScanSoft PDF Create to create those files.
As a suggestion, I would like to recommend using Acrobat XI Pro. The software offers the possibility to manage, handle, and create quality forms.
