PDF converters for Vista

[Titus Pullo]

One of the things I liked about OS X was the ability to save documents as
PDF. I was on the Office website and there are a lot of PDF converters
available for Office 2007 products. Which one is the best?

OpenOffice.org

If you own a genuine copy of Office 2007, you should get the option to
download the free PDF converter.

Office 2007 will 'save as' a PDF file without outside assistance..

I don't think that there is, but you can use a program like PrimoPDF.

Simpler to simply use OpenOffice.org - it's had that capability for
several years.

Your subject line reads "PDF converters for Vista," but this is not a
Vista issue, or any operating system issue. It's a function (or not)
of the word processor you use.

This is a built-in function of several word processors, including
Microsoft Office 2007. The function also exists in OpenOffice and
recent versions of WordPerfect (my personal favorite word processor).

Simpler to learn a brand new office suite then to install a PDF print
driver?

We have very different views of simpler, I suppose.

(I am a supporter of Open Office, to the tune of donating bandwidth to
their mirrors measured in TB -- But it's not always the solution)

Not much to 'learn' - if you can use one, you can use the other. Really!

Would Foxit do what the OP wants?

Possibly, but not free. doPDF is completely free...

Not if one has the ability to set up a "pdf printer", in which case anything
printed to that printer will end up being saved to a pdf file. I do this
all the time with Linux. So I can print for example a web page from Firefox
to a pdf file and Firefox certainly is not a word processor.

Cheers.

As is OpenOffice.org.
