Well I'm currently using FinePrint pdf factory and it works well. The only thing is at the bottom of each document it places a registration reminder. But it does it really well and best of all its free.

Best would be Adobe Acrobat which you can buy from heaps of retailers.

the best freeware out there is
CutePDF

then yeah, FinePrint, and Adobe for $$$

on the adobe website, there is a service that if you register your email address to them, you can ssend files to them (5 only) and they will convert it to PDF for you.

so if you've got a *.cjb.net account, you basically have unlimited amounts :D

i use acrobat 6, it makes the smallest PDFs

It is a bit expensive if you can't get educational version

go adobe. if you did any computer course this year and are friendly with your teacher, they should burn it for you (i presume all schools would have it)
or apparently sometimes you can get a cd for it on the front of computer magazines, so just keep an eye out if you dont want to pay heaps

yeahp, definitely just the Reader

if you have the full version of Adobe ACrobat, plus the right plugins, it can be VERY POWERFUL

I downloaded full version. So I'm a software leech. :)

Anyway, you have to admire me for getting massive programs through 56k.
