| 1121076 | 2010-07-21 23:54:00 | Hi Team I am currently using the BCL on-line service (http://www.pdfonline.com) to convert documents (all formats) to PDF. The service is reliable and quite fast, but there is a daily maximum that can be a problem sometimes, and I'd rather do it myself as some documents are reasonably confidential. There is an option to delete the file from their server once downloaded, which I always use, but as we know, 'deleted' doesn't always mean "DELETED!" So, what is the current recommendation for a free PDF writer that can convert Word, Excel, Publisher and image files to PDF? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1121084 | 2010-07-22 06:26:00 | Thanks, I've only just migrated from Office 2000 to Office 2003 so I'll not find any 'Print to PDF' options here. :D I'll take a look at cutepdf and bullzip, and somebody outside of PF1 has just mentioned pdf995 (or something like that) to me as well, is that a known quantity? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1121085 | 2010-07-22 07:00:00 | pdf995 (or something like that) I use that to convert my club newsletters to pdf files so everyone can read them. I'm not converting huge files, but have had no problems with it. :) |
