OK…not an exciting subject. But it is something we all do, and often.
By now all but developers have found third party software to use rather then buying full versions of Adobe Acrobat. Don’t get me wrong, we use Acrobat in our company. The advanced functions are necessary for some things.
For simple daily PDF creation we also install CutePDF Writer.
This is simple to use, easy to install, and the free version does most all a typical user wants.
The program does not display advertising, no embedded logo’s or watermarks, just builds a PDF.
The install is a two step process, but it’s easy. The CutePDF web site has 2 links for a download. Load the open source program GhostScript, then CutePDF.
Once installed the option for a PDF appears, like Acrobat, as one of your printers.
It’s great for home, secondary PC’s in the office, or any computer that does not require advanced PDF functions.
