Print to PDF

[MkII]

Been asked to install a print to PDF utility [for DIDA coursework - publisher, powerpoint etc]

 

Does anyone know of / can anyone recommend a free utility to do this?

 

[A quick google brought up primoPDF - which I'm testing now.]

We use this for DIDA

We were also requested to install a pdf writer, thankfully before the summer upgrades - makes a change to get some notice!.

 

Went with CutePDF http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

 

Pretty easy to install / use

SNAP!

Using CUPS-PDF on a Linux based print server. There's a HOWTO describing how to set it up in a Windows AD enviroment.

Thanks very much guys. CutePDF looks a little involved with Ghostscript needed as well

 

hmm - seems that PrimoPDF as an MSI install costs

 

Checking out GoToPDF and PDF4Free [looks promising: "Automatic installation"]

[MkII]

mmm - PDF4Free is quick and hassle free [directs initially to My Documents [Primo points to it's own folder]

 

I should have said: I'm converting from Office 2000 primarily

Ah damn - silent install on Pro version! [PDF4Fre]

PDF Online is free - max file size 2mb [could be a bonus ] but nothing to install

Have you tried PDFCreator? http://sector7g.wurzel6.de/pdfcreator/index_en.htm

 

I used to use it all the time before we got a full copy of Acrobat.

Don't know how easy it is to package though.

Thanks [love the avatar BTW lol! ]

 

That also needs ghostscript but worthy nonetheless

[GrumbleDook]

Go for Macromedia studio 8 and use Flashpaper?

Im sure its PDF creator I ahve used before and the ghostscript was just an extra install with no need to configure.

MM8 is on the cards. Right thanks Chris - will give that a try then.
