Does anyone know a PDF maker program that is inexpensive or FREE??? :)

 

I need one for my art club.

I don't know if these are any good but both can be used for free. The second has an advertisment banner unless you purchase it but I think it is only 19.95 for the suite.

There are very few good PDF makers that are free. The best solution I found was to make oneon the Adobe site. http://createpdf.adobe.com/

They have a free service there. For a PDF reader, the best system going is Foxit PDF reader. I absolutely hated Adobe Reader because of its massive resource use and tendency to snarl up any browser made. Download Foxit here. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php

There is also a nice extension for Firefox users call PDF Download which allows you to save or view PDF files in either PDF or HTML. Super easy to use and install.

Here's a couple options:

 

1) Google docs: docs.google.com - has a save as PDF for docs and spreadsheets (among other features)

2) OpenOffice: All of the apps (shreadsheets, presentations, word files, etc) can be exported to PDF: www.openoffice.org

I second Foxit PDF its a great tool set.

 

TBayBoy has a good point as well.... same one my office mate responds with when asked about writing a PDF by our clients.

Thank you guys...some of the downloads were free trials so I installed Open Office for free and now I have a power point presentation creator that I can save as pdf files. I also have the other office programs that didn't come with my home computer. I'm all excited. :)
