The usual way to convert a file is to open it with an application of your choice and print to a PDFCreator printer. Besides that, you can launch a conversion by dropping a file on the PDFCreator application or by selecting a file in the file dialog launched via the choose a file to convert button.
The history gives you an overview of the most recently converted documents and allows you to open, send or delete these. Moved or deleted documents get automatically removed. PDFCreator checks this on startup and when when you click on “Refresh History”.
