569036 2007-07-14 11:17:00 My g/f is looking for an application that will convert an xls file (Excel) to pdf format (for one of the people in her committee who doesnt have Office).

I know I could google and probably find one, but I am wondering who has used such software, and how easy/hard did they find it to use?

Her OS is Win2K

569038 2007-07-14 17:40:00 If you're using Office 2007 go HERE (www.microsoft.com) to download the add-on... you will be required to validate you Office 2007 installation first though.

569041 2007-07-14 20:36:00 You can get free 3rd party "print" drivers which let you "print" to a PDF file from any application. I think there's one called PDF995, though I haven't used it for quite a few years. somebody (208)
569042 2007-07-14 20:47:00 Go here: swik.net

and take your pick..I suggest the Firefox add-on though.

569043 2007-07-14 22:04:00 I use Primopdf I converts anything to pdf. Remember though most free pdf creators dont have the same security features as full featured product.

Oh there is another format you could try for sharing that excell document "csv" most spread sheeting program should be able to open that format but you may loose some features such as formulas

569045 2007-07-14 23:50:00 PDF995 produces a bigger file, but better quality - primopdf gives a smaller file, but lesser quality. This is probably only an issue if your a trying to reproduce graphics. Your choice!
