A Very Handy Tool

Don't you wish that you could create *.pdf documents from within any program for FREE? Well, you can. PDFCreator is awesome. It works just like a printer. If you can print from the program, then you can turn that print into a *.pdf file. It's great.

To download it, follow the links and make sure you download the latest version. And if you don't know what Ghostscript is, then you will need to download a version of PDFCreator that includes either GPL Ghostscript or AFPL Ghostscript. You can tell from the filename which version it includes. I don't know that it matters, but I have had good luck with the AFPL version. Yes the software is free, but if you use it a whole bunch and love it, or if your company with several employees use it, you should really consider donating to the project. The software is "Free" as defined in the General Public License (GPL).
