Hello,

I need a software for Windows that can create PDF files from other documents.. I don't need editing capabilities, so a simple solution that can handle conversion of many documents daily would be great; something like a virtual printer driver that creates PDFs, or some tool that I can point the file and it would create the PDF. I tried a few free ones but they all have some annoying limitations or nags, a commercial product would be acceptable as long as is not very expensive ( under $100 )... Any recommendations?

Welcome to PCHF marian!

Have you tried pdf995 - its free and i find it useful, also it is a 'virtual' printer.

Create PDF

I dont know which ones youve tried already, but here are a couple that might work for you. I have used this first one, but not the second one. Cute pdf is a free version of a commercial program, and it did what i wanted.
CutePDF - Create PDF for free, Free PDF Utilities, Edit PDF easily;.

Thank you very much for your helpful suggestions!

pdf995 is a fine product, good quality and works nice, but it displays advertising each time the software is opened... and CutePDF looks like needs additional software to download and install ( GhostScript ).

I also found PDF Factory Pro and PDF Writer Pro which look very good.. the first one looks like a very popular software and the other has very good compression for the same quality.. I will consider buying one of the two... Thank you again!
