Comments on: Create pdfs for free http://www.theblog.ca/create-pdf Useful tips on Canada, cell phones, banking, technology, WordPress, PHP and more Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:38:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Will Murray http://www.theblog.ca/create-pdf/comment-page-1#comment-1300 Will Murray Thu, 07 Sep 2006 05:48:11 +0000 http://www.theblog.ca/?p=34#comment-1300 CutePDF is okay, but I've personally found <a href="http://www.exp-systems.com/PDFreDirect/Features.htm?1" rel="nofollow">PDFRedirect</a> to be an even better free PDF creator. It works as a printer driver, but you can also use it to merge documents, etc. It's not naggy and it's completely free. There is an optional trial version for their pro product, but the free version works just fine. In fact, I have had better luck with this program and some difficult to embed fonts than I have with Adobe Acrobat Professional. It really makes be wonder if I should bother upgrading my Adobe. Also, if you like viewing PDFs, but feel that Adobe's Reader is too slow and bloated, try <a href="http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php" rel="nofollow">FoxIt Reader for Windows</a>. It's no-cost, and is very simple to use. It loads in a second or two, and works with all but the most complex PDF documents (hugely graphical, multiple layers of vectored artwork that takes Adobe a good 5 minutes to render) I've thrown at it.

In your post, you suggest "Do a quick Google search for free PDF makers and you’ll find many others." When I click "comment", the ads that appear at the top of the post (better than just on the side btw) are "pdf writer", "edit pdf", "free pdf writer download" etc etc. Awesome stuff! these ads by google are actually quite awesome.
