What is a good PDF creator and WHY?
You're asking that in a wrong newsgroup.
But as for simple PDF creators as drivers for
a virtual printers that produce .pdf files instead
of hard copy output, just about any of the free
utilities will do. Google for "free pdf printer"
and you'll find many hits.
Right now, I'm using PDF995 from Software995,
and it works as advertized. It's free with ads,
$10 without ads. It can turn any Word, PowerPoint,
or Excell file into a .pdf file by just asking those
utilities to print, then selecting "PDF995" as the
printer. If you want to merge .pdf files, or combine
multiple .doc, .ppt, etc. files into one .pdf file, or
to break out a single page of PDF from a multi-
page .pdf file, you can bust for another $10 for
PDFEdit995.
CutePDF Writer is free and it will do about the
same thing as PDF995, and the CutePDF Editor
($50) will do about as much as PDF995 Editor,
as will PDFill PDF Editor ($20). They all have
their individual features, and pricing varies a lot.
