This is one rather least known and but a really valuable program to have. If I tell you you can create and print PDF file, for free, would you buy me a dinner?
Each time I send a friend a document in PDF format, they will ask if I have a copy of Adobe Acrobat and they can use it to convert a few documents.
What they do not know is I actually use an open source program called PDFCreator to create it (print to be exact, read on to see why).
To begin, simply download the program from sourceforge. (Choose the AFPLGhostscript version)
Run the installer program. This will create a virtual printer on your computer to print a PDF file.
To create a PDF file from any document, select Print… from the File menu,
choose PDFCreator from the list of printers and click OK to print. Follow a simple dialog like below, click Save to save the PDF file to your folder.
That it! Open the document in Acrobat reader and look at the result. Brilliant right?
Drop me a note when you next visit Singapore or Shanghai. I will be expecting a dinner.
Where to get it?
