Great post. However, I’m finding that Vista prints all pdfs sideways, in Landscape view, even when I choose NOT to do it. So all my pdfs come out sideways! I can always use my pdf reader to turn the document over sure, but I do share my pdfs with others who are not as savvy, and saving the pdf the correct way does not solve the problem. GRRRRR! CutePDF and doPDF can’t seem to fix this problem. I’m baffled!!

What do you do when you open a PDF document from an e-mail sent to you; you open it and the document is greyed out, but I can print it, just can’t see it. Is there anything I can do in order to see the document?

Thanks

Which one of the mentioned programs converts your docs on the program writer’s server? One of them at least does so, although I cannot remember which one. I want to avoid that.

I love that you are helping people this way.

I installed the doPDF and it is great unless I am trying to “print” from the internet. Vista overrides where I selected the pdf to be saved, and says that it is saving it instead in Temporary Internet Files. Not only is this inconvienent, but when I click to go to it, it isn’t there.

Help?

Thanks, Jeanette

My Adobe Acrobat 8.0 software works fine when I want to read or download PDF files, but does not let me PRINT PDF files. (It refuses to acknowledge that the print spooler is running). Adobe Reader prints fine, but I cannot install Reader and Acrobat at the same time, and I need to use Acrobat to access files at certain sites. Can you recommend some program that will just read/print PDF files that are already created? I tried cutePDF and PDFReader but they try to re-convert a PDF file to PDF again and do not do a good job. I just need a reader/printer like Adobe Reader.

I use cutePDF extensively and love it however you can save a step in the install process, if you download just the cutepdf installer, it will ask then download the ghostscript program from within its own installer, saving you one extra step

I use Foxit PDF Creator. Simple to use, quick, and lightweight.

+1 for PDF Creator.
And you can also give password protection to the PDF file.
