[RITSlist] PDF program

[Alan H Kline]

Microsoft Office 2007 also has a plugin that allows PDF 
creation from any of its included programs (Word, Excel, 
etc.) The drawback with this, as I expect would be the 
case with Open Office Writer, is that once the PDF is 
created, it cannot be modified with the program which 
created it.

I do quite a bit of PDF editing, so I have the full 
version of Acrobat 7, but I frequently will use the PDF 
print driver (which is what the plugins really are) to 
create a PDF from Word, or even from non-office programs 
like a web browser--once the plugin is installed, you see 
a "printer" with PDF in the name, and it should be visible 
to any program which uses the standard Windoze print 
drivers.

Adobe also offers an on-line PDF creation service--you 
submit a document to their website, they send back a 
finished PDF file--but again, once you have it you can't 
edit the PDF. It's also a pay service, and once you've 
used up the trial, gets a bit pricey.
