I second the comment about PDFCreator. It has been a very stable, effective tool for me.

I use PDFCreator – http://www.pdfforge.org/ It is opensource and has useful functions (image size, passwords etc.)

Tried a few others and hate banners. I like this one.

Thanks Claudiu! I’m sure a lot of us could use the tip, seems as though it could resolve a lot of the image resizing issues.

There’s a tip here on how to reduce the size of the resulting pdf, basically the problem is that the images are not cropped before inserting them in word – http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/keeping-file-size-down#post-560

That’s true, there is that issue of non-supporting links. Maybe in the future the creators of doPDF will bring the support of links to us…

PrimoPDF is pretty good, I’ve tried it and I like it. The quality of the conversions are great. But, it wouldn’t hurt to try both and choose on that you might like..

Cool app but there’s seems to be an issue with adding links to the document..

could be the bomb if it would support links.

There’s also PrimoPDF which I’ve been using for quite a while now.. I haven’t experienced any issues with it so far.. works with all the applications.. just hit the Ctrl+P and choose the folder you want to save your PDF in.. and you’re done!

I’ve tried PrimoPDF. It has a lot of options & functions and all that, but every now & then, it would completely massacre the output (and, of course, it would always seem to happen when I needed it most).

I’ve never had that problem with CutePDF. What it may lack in bells & whistles, it more than makes up for in stability & reliability.

Just in the sense of re-affirming what others have said, PrimoPDF rules the roost.

I totally agree. I have tried a number of PDF converters and PrimoPDF is by far the best.

Another vote here for PrimoPDF. Cyndi already said all the good stuff.

PrimoPDF is THE best PDF converter, allows you to save for screen, print, ebook, prepress and custom so you can control the size and quality and password protect them and more. Converts 300-plus file types.

This seems to be a very useful app, But if you are using Word 2007 there’s and add-on called ‘Save as PDF’ for the whole Microsoft Office 2007 suite. So, you can save all your documents (on Excel, Word and even Powerpoint)as a pdf file.

Here’s the shortened link for this add-on:

I use pdfFactory, it’s more complete, fast, and the resulting pdf’s are smaller.

I’ve tried a few, but always come back to CutePDF Writer (free):
