PDFCreator is good. I haven't done it yet, but apparently you can install on your printer server and just share it out and map the clients to it.

We use PDFCreator. I have an msi of it so just roll it out to all workstations that need it via group policy

PDf Creator from PDFforge.org we use this in all our classrooms with not problems at all and it's open source

I use PrimoPDF, but I'm not sure if this is available as an MSI. Alternatively, doesn't Office 2007 SP2 have a built in PDF printer? I remember reading Microsoft were going to include this, but I've never looked to see if it's there!

Office's PDF plug in, no need for any extra training on how to use it...

They do yes but we are not on 2007.

We used to use PDFCreator before we now use the PDF tool within Office 2007.

If you have the adobe master collection or the adobe publishing pack with indesign in it, distillr from memory installs a virtual pdf printer that you can use.
