I am pretty sure you will want PDF4FREE once you become proficient and
experienced with .pdf files, it is NOT based on ghostscript--however, you
must have adobe acrobat installed... all you need is the single 600K+
pdf4free file... small, efficient, accurate...
1) download it
2) click on it to install it
3) reboot
4) print with it

Ghostscript is a most notable offering, and does quite well, however, with
very complex documents you will find slight to moderate errors are
encountered (this has to do with patents and rights held by adobe and is to
be expected.)

Also, transforming PDF to DOC or other format, or viewing in 3rd party .pdf
readers, will get "weird", sometimes, if the .pdf was created with the
Ghostscript .dll--I have never found this with pdf4free...

Only drawback is you MUST have windows 2000 or better... but then you should
anyway...

Warmest regards,
John

Many here seem to be hung up on .pdf files, adobes pdf creator is
expensive.

Here is a utility which installs itself like a printer, all you do is
choose to print from any windows application, choose this printer driver
and it will "print" a .pdf file of any word, notepad, etc. And you end up
with a .pdf of the work in question...

Warmest regards,
John
