plock Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Morning all, As you're probably aware, Adobe has officially removed FlashPaper from the new version of Contribute. Another reason to divert my attention I feel! After a little look around the net I came across this marvellous tool. PDFCreator is completely freeware and comes with an MSI for AD deployment! I don't have to pay Adobe even more money for their PDF creator now! I downloaded the tool from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57796&package_id=53473&release_id=442172 Hope that saves you some money too!
bandgeekmafia78 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 PrimoPDF is also freeware - what we use at my school
alan-d Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 If all you need to do is convert a document to a pdf then use Open Office. Open the document in Open Office - click the pdf icon - name it - job done.
plock Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 Currently we don't have Open Office deployed.
john Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Another vote for PDFCreator, I like and use it, very good tool. So for making them its PDFCreator and reading them FoxIT Reader
Joedetic Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Primo PDF we used and I still use it at home for uni.
netadmin Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 We use PDFCreator now. We used to use Primo PDF, but it started having ads in the free version, so I tried PDFCreator. It seems to produce better quality PDFs than Primo PDF, in my opinion.
plock Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 Have deployed PDFCreator across the whole site on Tuesday, have had some good feedback from staff. Looks like we're settled for now! I think the head will be pleased to hear we're now saving huge amounts of money without having to pay for Adobe!
timbo343 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I suppose this is just like cutePDF, which is also free.
djm968 Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 PrimoPDF (even works within a TS environment)
tech_guy Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 We use CutePDF - easy to install and use. We install it as part of our standard image.
plock Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 Not bad - I'll take a little look at PrimoPDF. I didn't realise there were so many free alternatives!
icttech Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Hiya all, Does anyone know of a cheap PDF Editor, i have searched the web for a free one but their aint one out there. Looking for one with no limitaion on licence as want to use it for a few machines
elsiegee40 Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 we use pdf995 http://www.pdf995.com/ It's free if you don't mind the ads - Rates are reasonable if you want to lose the ads! (eg USD19.95 for single user - USD325 for 25 users for the full pdfedit995 suite)

Michael Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 I've used PrimoPDF for a very long time and can recommend it!
dhicks Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 The most complete solution is still probably Jaws (or "Global Graphics"... crummy name, never liked it) PDF creator / editor. Not free, but you might be able to convince them to give you some kind of educational volume pricing. -- David Hicks
