That's why I said for the illegit. I personally have my company pay for the copy. But Acrobat Pro is useful when you need to edit or interact with a pdf doc on occasions. And it's not such a security risk if you have all your firewalls and anti-virus scans running properly. @mule. That’s why I said for the illegit. I personally have my company pay for the copy.

Acro 8 is complex, slow, POS (piece of sh*T), not to mention a fair security risk on your machine. In my experience, most people don't need it. They just want to "print" to a pdf occasionallly. Plus, why not run something without the guilt ;) mule Quote: “Dante says, February 17th, 2008

I used PDFCreator for a long time, but ran into a conflict between it and Truecrypt 4.x, where the PDF create process wouldn't work on systems that had TrueCrypt 4.x installed.. I haven't tested if the problem still exists with TrueCrypt 5.x. I also don't like that PDFCreator hasn't been updated in maybe 2 years. Unfortunately, this is a common problem with open source product. Right now I am using DoPDF and it seems to work OK. Microsoft also offers a plug-in for Office 2007 offering PDF saving capability.

I have tried more than half a dozen solutions before settling on this one. Although some might also like Primo PDF which is a close second for me.
