Hi

I need to turn my word documents in pdf and also optionally email them from
time to time. I know there are several utilities that act like a printer to
accomplish this. Could someone please recommend some of the better ones?

Thanks

Regards
 
Do I really need all that just to create pdfs from documents?

Yes.

There are freebie versions around, but check their acceptability first if
you are using the PDFs for commercial printing or inclusion in professional
publications. Some of the freebies create files that don't meet all the
technical requirements.
 
No but you asked for the better ones. And you didn't tell us what features
you need.

I agree.

I have found that even some well known programs do not do a good job of
producing PDF from Word.
For serious work, either buy the full Acrobat product, or, if you have the
resources to do so, find some way to assure the quality of some other
free/commercial product.

It will be interesting to see the quality of the PDF engine used in the next
version of Office. might suffice for many/most apps.

John,
you can go with www.pdf995.com
I've used it for years.
It is free or a one time payment of (I believe $9.95) to register to get
rid of the 1 nag screen that comes up everytime you start the
program--but it is a static screen--no links to the internet, etc.
You can do a LOT, with it, as well as manage PDF rights to copy,
security, etc. by download ing their free PDFEDIT995 utility as well, etc.
Good and responsive tech support.
If you MUST use PDF for GRAPHICS work such as creating logos, business
cards, etc., the quality will not be up to standards for FINE ARTS and
you'll need to invest in Adobe's own product.
But for all types of documents for business purposes, PDF995 wil work
just great, with more features than almost all of the free utilities, etc.
