Good, inexpensive PDF creator?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

I am looking for a good PDF creator that I can edit in/handle graphics & pictures/get electronic signatures under $150 (does that even exist???).

Any advice??

TIA -

1. You might try this combination....

Open Office and CutePDF.

Except for the electronic signatures it might work.

There is also http://www.abbyy.com/

3. I tried a couple of the knock off PDF programs ..

but didn't care for them. Went back to Adobe.
The version I have has a button to "click to create a PDF at Adobe/com".

4. I think OpenOffice can do what you want

And it's free.

I'm not certain it will do what you want, but I think it will. It's worth a shot, anyway.

6. Create the document you want in OpenOffice, then convert it to a PDF...

...that's how I do it and OO makes it vewy easy.

9. There might be something here:

A lot of these are for Linux. Some Mac and Wdz.

Has an online conversion tool -- for free -- and it worked like a charm.

Thanks! :)

download CutePDF Writer (Freeware)

run the wizard to install

From the readme text

Using CutePDF Writer to create PDF document:


DO NOT look for any application to run. Just print your document using CutePDF Writer (the printer) to get PDF output.


1. Open your original document and select Print command in File menu of your application to bring up Print dialog box.
2. Then select CutePDF Writer as the Printer to print (DO NOT select "Print to file" option).
3. You will get a Save As dialog box prompted for saving created PDF file.
Select a folder to Save in and enter a File name, then click on Save.
4. Go to that folder to find your PDF file.

13. Another vote for CutePDF.

Never had a problem with it. Simple, lightweight, just works.
