Anyone know of a downloadable program to make PDF docs out of say word/excel files etc?

Hoping there is a reliable free one out there.

Thanks

I use pdf995 which prints to a file. It's free, but gives you some nag screens. http://www.pdf995.com/

Open Office Org Writer will export documents to PDF.

I just use my Apple Powerbook. Mac OX X has been able to do this for years. Comes standard.

Just click Print and then the PDF icon on the print menu and it saves it as a PDF file. Works in any application you have. Don't have to buy anything extra. Love my Apple and OX X.

And I'm darn happy about it!

I may be wrong on this, but I don't think Apple had to buy anything to print to pdf. It's a file format. They made their own print driver that creates a file format. Sure is nice to have the functionality built in without having to buy another piece of software.

So they paid their developers to write it and then sold it to you.

My point is The whole, "MAC is better because it is included" argument is ridiculous.

That's basically all PDF Creator is, just a print driver. But you can do some other stuff like combine and split documents. Good help documentation too. I have it on all my computers.

I agree. Windows isn't bad once you've disabled all the unnecessary and insecure services.
