Any good reccomendations of a good pdf maker?

Hello,

I need a pdf maker that can create pdfs from various documents. I already searched on Google for some pdf making software, but the free alternatives that I've found have some limitations ( like watermark or advertising ) and the paid ones were too complicated to use, or had some annoyances. I can use a good advice.

 

Open Office, it is free, it does not not use watermarks or advertising and is about as easy to use as MS Word.

 

I would also choose openoffice it is possible to convert files to and from pdf....

 

OpenOffice and just File>>Print>>choose PDF driver and print it.

it will come out in .PDF format

 

I have a similar request but its the fact that I need to scan a document on some cheap scanner and have that converted to PDF - on a XP system is there anything you can recommend? - dont say "yeah get linux" its not an option obviously that means it has to have OCR and imaging capabilities

 

Thank you for your suggestions! The best seem to be Cute PDF and PDF Writer Pro ( http://www.amicutilities.com/pdf-writer/ ) , I will also compare a few other, and then make a decision of which to buy!

 

i think my dad uses Cute PDF to convert AutoCad files (engineering plans) into PDF's. odd name but i guess it works.
