converting Word Doc to PDF

[Kate G.]

Can some recommend a free PDF writer. I'm not sure how often I'll need to
do this -- so I'm not ready to shell out for Adobe.

I know there are some free ones out there -- which do you all find are the
most trouble free to use?

Thanks in advance.

If you have Word 2007 then there's an MS add-in specifically for this.

thanks -- but haven't made the jump to 2007 yet... 2000 and 2003 do
everything I need!

Truth be told.... not sure I want to work hard enough to master the new
interface! LOL

Hi,
You can try either of these:

CutePDF (http://www.cutepdf.com)
PrimoPDF (http://www.primopdf.com/primopdf_free_idx.aspx)
MagicPDF (http://www.magicpdf.com)

I personally prefer MagicPDF for its no-nonsense interface.

Cheers,
Robert

I quite like Primo PDF. Not free but well worth the asking price is SnagIt,
which will not only create PDFs but will do a whole raft of stuff with
graphics that you might use with a Word document or elsewhere.

OpenOffice is free and easy to use:

File -> Export as PDF

You can't be serious? Installing another Office application just to create
an occasional PDF file? The free PDF utilities like Primo will work with
*any* application that prints, not just Word documents.

That's why I prefer using Primo over the Office 2007 add-in. For me, there's
very little value added in doing a Save As in Office programs when I can do
a File - Print in anything.

Just switch to Open Office. Same as Microsoft Office, but free and has PDF
support. And won't kill your docs.
