PDF writer software help

[Alex20]

!@#$%^&*o,

 

I need a software for Windows that can create PDF files from other do!@#$%^&*ents.. I don't need editing capabilities, so a simple solution that can handle conversion of many do!@#$%^&*ents daily would be great; something like a virtual printer driver that creates PDFs, or some tool that I can point the file and it would create the PDF. I tried a few free ones but they all have some annoying limitations or nags, a commercial product would be acceptable as long as is not very expensive ( under $100 )... Any recommendations?

Well, at school we can choose "Adobe PDF Do!@#$%^&*ent" as a printer in any programs... don't know what they use, probably something like adobe pdf writer

adobe acrobat reader (its free) only allows you to view pdf's.

 

you need adobe acrobat full version to create pdf's (appart from using the actualy program, you can set it as a "printer" in word so that it converts your word do!@#$%^&*ent)

PrimoPDF is the virtual print driver that you seek

(I don't know why this topic was locked, no reason has been given so I'm reopening it).

 

I just tried PrimoPDF, it phones home with a 20 second timeout. I don't know what it's actually doing I blocked it from using the internet.

I think it can, but it messes up word do!@#$%^&*ents when you open them so the do!@#$%^&*ent needs reformatting. Once I remade a table of contents, but it used some arbitrary font, so I had to change the style of each part of the TOC (each subsection level had non-linked style settings). In the end I think it still didn't match the font of the rest of the do!@#$%^&*ent.

Office 2007 Beta2 allows you to save as PDF. So if you can get a copy of that, that would work. If you do get a copy of Office 2007 Beta2, be sure to roll back your system clock a year to prevent it from complaining about it expiring.

Just a few months ago on Slashdot it was reported that Microsoft was taking out the support to save do!@#$%^&*ents in the PDF format due to lawsuits from Adobe to Microsoft over Microsoft using the PDF format, even though it was an open format. Edited March 28, 2007 by L.C.

*bump*

 

I was searching for a working PDF printer for a while now too... Just found what I was looking for:

Foxit PDF (It is 3 separate programs, Reader, Editor and Creator)

Foxit PDF Creator is the printer driver thing, you don't need to install the others... When I run the installer, I get an error about creating directory or something, but the printer is still installed correctly... And it seems to work like a charm... There are not 23 dialogs before you can print or anything, you hit Print, you enter a filename, and it creates the file right away
