MkII Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 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.]
tosca925 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 We use this for DIDA http://www.cutepdf.com/index.htm
steve Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 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
Geoff Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Using CUPS-PDF on a Linux based print server. There's a HOWTO describing how to set it up in a Windows AD enviroment.
MkII Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 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 Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 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
MkII Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 Ah damn - silent install on Pro version! [PDF4Fre]
MkII Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 PDF Online is free - max file size 2mb [could be a bonus ] but nothing to install
nawbus Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 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.
MkII Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks [love the avatar BTW lol! ] That also needs ghostscript but worthy nonetheless
GrumbleDook Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Go for Macromedia studio 8 and use Flashpaper?
ChrisH Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Im sure its PDF creator I ahve used before and the ghostscript was just an extra install with no need to configure.
MkII Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 MM8 is on the cards. Right thanks Chris - will give that a try then.
