Adobe Acrobat or Options for pdf files?

Incompatible · 11-21-2012, 10:40 AM

Recently replaced computer with a Win 7 OS and my understanding is that my old Acrobat 8 software is not compatible. All I need is the ability to create pdf files. Any less expensive options than purchasing Acrobat X or XI?

there are free pdfprinter apps that create a virtual printer (anything you print becomes a pdf file)

I'll check them out, thanks.

Went with a product named Bullzip. Simple and easy to use. Thanks again.

PDFCreator also works well...

typical scanner software usually lets you embed into PDF files as well... wasnt sure what you were doing.

MS Word does it without Acrobat. Just click Save As and pick PDF as the Save as Type.
