When I look at all the products on the download page at
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/downloads
then I am a bit confused.
What are the differences between
PDF-XChange Lite and PDF-XChange Lite Free and PDF-XChange Standard
All 3 seems to me are printer drivers (only).
Is there a side-by-side feature comparison table?
Can I (un)install the printer drivers (later) separately from e.g. PDF XChange Editor?

Re: Difference Lite, Lite Free, Standard?
All three of them are (or include) indeed (virtual) printer drivers.
Thanks to these drivers, it is possible to create PDF's from whatever Windows application that has a File > Print option.
By printing to a PDF-XChange printer, a PDF file is created (instead of printing the output to paper).
The main difference between PDF-XChange Lite printer and PDF-XChange Lite Free printer, is the kind of license.
The Free version is only for NON-commercial use. So, for the Free version you do not need a license key.
The difference between the Lite and the Standard version, is the fact that the Standard version has a lot more options when converting a file to a PDF (see attached print screens), and that you need a (payed) license for this. If you do not have a license, then commercial stamps will be add on every page of the newly created PDF.
Included with the Standard version, are add-ins for Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ...
These add-ins are offering features like converting Word Headings into PDF-Bookmarks and keeping every kind of hyperlink working in the resulting PDF. Also included is the Office2PDF tool, that makes that you can drop an Office file in a specific folder, and automatically create a PDF from it.
In the upper right corner of the PDF-XChange Products download page, you have a link to "Compare PDF-XChange Products ...".
When you click, you will arrive on the following page for more information:

I hope this helps ...
