| 604811 | 2007-10-24 07:04:00 | What do people recommend in the way of "free" PDF creation software (and why)? I seem to remember some solution being placed on a PC World CD awhile ago - but I can't find it now. Thanks in advance. |

| 604812 | 2007-10-24 07:12:00 | Here's one (http://www.pdf995.com/) Why I dont know, never used it. It's free. Or download Openoffice (http://www.openoffice.org) I think it can save in PDF format. Its similar to MS Office, and free. Or this (http://www.cutepdf.com/) Or if you have MS Office 2007, that will save in PDF too. |

| 604813 | 2007-10-24 08:02:00 | I use OpenOffice myself just for that reason, it can export to a PDF file. It does a nice job too, better than some other programs I have tried. | Rod J (451) | ||
| 604814 | 2007-10-24 08:11:00 | I use and highly recommend the free and open source PDFCreator (sourceforge.net), which sets itself up as a virtual printer (ie you click File > Print, select PDFCreator, and out pops a PDF! You can choose DPI settings, passwords, encryption (up to 128-bit) and other settings you would expect to find only in Adobe's Acrobat Pro suite. One limitation I have found is that printing PDFs with PDFCreator doesn't support hyperlinks of any kind, but other than that I have had no problems whatsoever with it. Needs Windows 2000 or XP (not sure if it runs on Vista). Hope this helps |

| 604815 | 2007-10-24 08:35:00 | Seems similar to the one I use, called Bullzip PDF Printer (www.snapfiles.com) (freeware), which has document protection... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
