does anyone know a good program for creating PDF files?

right now im using PDF redirect and i dont like it. the only thing it can do is merge 2 or more pdf files into 1 and that's not what i want.

You can make a PDF File simply by using notepad...saving it as All Files then the name of your file with the file extension .pdf on the end.

I'm 99% sure that this would work(try it if you want)

If you don't mind a small watermark being placed on you documents then there is this one:

The version I use was from a cover cd which included a licence key, so I am not sure what the watermark looks like.

I have been using PDF995 to create PDF. It sets up a printer to make the PDF file. So if you can print it you can make a PDF from it. You can download it from http://www.software995.com for free. There is an advertisement screen that pops up when you use the program if you do not buy a key - but the files are clean and just as good as those created with Adobe Acrobat. You can also combine multiple files into one PDF. There are lots of other options. ;)

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/...DF-Reader.shtmlNever mind. Just reread that site and the reader appears to be free, but the writer is $59.00. that's a half tank of gas.
If it isn't broke, tweak it.

Woah yet another post resurrection :)
I was wondering "since where do we allow guest posts?" then i saw 2005......

In the future just make a new post about a program you like unless there is a recent post about it.
