Best freeware alternative programs

[trungthu]

well, now that I've found the freeware gurus, maybe you can help me with this one.

Do any of you know of a freeware PDF print driver?


I've heard that OpenOffice will save office documents to PDF, and I'm going to have to try that out, but what I'm really looking for is an alternative to either Win2PDF (shareware, not freeware) or Adobe's PDF Print Driver. These are both utilities that install as a system printer in Windows allowing you to print to PDF from any application.

Anyone know a freeware alternative?

thanks!

Oh and for your freeware lists, how about:

Jgaa's War FTP Server
Enzip
and one of my favorites

VNC!

pdf Printer driver (freeware):

Pdf995

Website: http://www.pdf995.com/***********

Just print your documents with that printer (driver). It will convert them into pdf files!

Sorry, I forgot another free PDF converter:

PDF Creator.

You can download the program and guide from:

http://www.mrbass.org/freeware/pdfcreator/

Actually, www.mrbass.org has many good freeware and guides, esp. for DVD.
