program that converts document to pdf file
« on: March 18, 2018, 02:21:59 pm »
Hello,
A number of years ago there was a free program that let you put the shortcut on your desktop and then you could drag and drop a document ontop of the icon on your desktop and it would automatically convert to pdf. Does anyone remember the name of the program? My computer crashed and I lost it. I think I found it within Steves blog.

Thx in advance!

I use PrimoPDF.  http://www.primopdf.com/

I just use free version.  When I was working I used the NITRO version as we used to modify PDFs but no longer required.

It has a drop box that lets you direct the print file to a print drivers that creates a PDF.  I don't use the drop box but it works okay.

You can use it from any program that has a print function.

When I have a large PDF and want only certain pages you can print those pages to the PDF print driver.

I use CutePDF http://cutepdf.com/ which installs in the computer.  It becomes a system printer so that when you click on print in a program, CutePDF is an option.  It great works on any Windows program I have used.

The site also has a free PDF editor - on-line, I think.
