Had cause to make a PDF this weekend, wanting to create an electronic document that would retain formatting and look the way that I wanted it to for all eternity (bwahahahahah!) I used PDFOnline.com and was more than happy with the result. You upload your doc, specify a filename, and enter an e-mail address for delivery of the PDF. Pretty soon, the thing is in your e-mail as an attachment and can be downloaded to your desktop. Easy and quick. There's a 2mb file size limit, so that transcription of War & Peace that you're working on won't fly, but otherwise you should be in good shape. Give it a whirl if you're looking to convert a document to a PDF on the fly.

PDF995 installs as a printer driver so you can produce PDF's from any PC application (I've used Word and Powerpoint with no issues) and other than a sponsorship screen when you generate the PDF file there seems to be no limitations. The PDF file has no adverts in it for instance and you can certainly produce large files (had to produce a 65 page PDF last week for instance).
If you want to remove the advert then I believe the licence fee is quite reasonable.
Not connected to them in any way, just a contented user !
How r u doing?
Well I got the link from a friend and first thing I did was to convert my Resume.doc to Resume.pdf
It is a good site.
The sponsor popup is not annoying anymore and I have learnt to wait a couple seconds for it to disappear before I can see Acrobat Reader open up the PDF.
The only annoying part is that the software did not allow me to choose where I install it and got situated under C:\PDF995, which is something I don't like. Maybe there is way to change it, but for now, that is where I have it.
