PDFCreator

On Nelson's Weblog [somebits.com], I saw a link to PDFCreator [pdfforge.com], which is a free tool to print files to a PDF.

Previously, I had some experience with PrimoPDF [primopdf.com], but really didn't like it because it didn't render images nicely. The image rendering is important to me, because most of the documents I want to send to others have some sort of figure or picture in them. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to create a PDF -- I would just send text.

Heimlich and I have been looking for a new free PDF tool to use at home, where we only need to make PDF files occasionally. So, we'll be evaluating it, and I'll probably be writing a review post here soon. So far, it seems to render images better than PrimoPDF.

And of course, I still use FoxIt PDF Reader [foxitsoftware.com] to read PDF files at home.
