PDF Writers

[Michael Morris]

Google turns up several dozen - anybody got one they'd like to recommend. I'd like to be able to print to PDF from Microsoft Word 2003

Doesn't Adobe have a good free one now?

 

[Michael Morris]

They have a free READER, not a writer. The reader costs $250 last I checked.

Hrm, I thought you coulld get a free print to pdf thing from them finaly. Maybe not.

If you just want to print to PDF I would take a look at PDFCreator. It has worked well for me in the past.

I've been using CutePDF. It works pretty well and has several print options (color/b&W, various resolutions) that help adjust for file size and results.

PDF995 works really well. There's a small ad/nag screen on the free version, but it's not really that irritating.

I love this software too. Plus, you can do things like add bookmarks and insert PDF pages into other PDFs which you can't with CutePDF.

Plus, to get rid of the ads, it's only $19.95 US.

I'll plug this one too. I use it at my job, and it has served me well.

This is what I use here at work to convert my Visio diagrams into pdf's for vendors and contractors. It's nice and works well.
