PDF Creator

Well I found another great piece of software at sourceforge. This utility allows you to create PDF(Portable Document Format) files for free!

Yep, Free! You don't have to spend gazillions of dollars purchasing Adobe PDF Writer, or the even more ludicously-priced Adobe Enterprise 'Solutions'.

Okay okay so you don't get as many features. Well, chances are you aren't printing out top-secret documents that need 400 digital signitures installed on your computer just so they will open. You are probably like me: You want to print receipts or bank statements in a format that can't be easily edited, and aren't enormous in size. Plus, you can burn them to CD for backup purposes. You can get alot of PDF's on one CD.

What's really convenient about the PDF Creator is that it installs itself as a printer. Therefore, you can use it just like a printer. Instead of sending your output to the bubblejet on your desk, just pick the PDF Creator printer instead. A nice GUI will open and give you some options about what you want to call your print job, where you want to save it, plus some other options. It's nice.
