Sweeeeet. Thanks for the link- it's downloading as I type! Glad to know your dues are going towards something useful.

Hey - not all of the classes at the conf are about gettin leads and crap

cutePDF is free and works perfectly.

I got a free PDF maker fron a google search, it shows up as doPDF v5. It is great at creating PDF files from MLS or Realist. Just don't use it while you are printing or it will dump. The files upload real good also.
I go it from someone on this site.

I'm a big fan of www.openoffice.org

I recommend primopdf (http://www.primopdf.com/)Simple, free and easy to use.

I have downloaded cute pdf and also smart pdf, and I'm trying to figure out how to save pdfs of my completed bpo reports. When I hit print, save to pdf file, I get a file with an aspx extension, and when I try to open it, I get a question "Which program do you want to use to open this file?" Nothing on my computer will open this file extension. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? tia

It sounds as if your computer is not saving your bpo report as a pdf. I don't know much about Microsoft products, but from my understanding, files with aspx extensions contain markup language and would not be a pdf file.

For creating PDFs from files already on my computer (not scanning) I use PDF Creator - free from Sourceforge.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

I prefer www.primopdf.com and use it to create forms that I can email.

I use CutePDF to create PDF's and PDFSam to combine different PDF's if required.

I use Open Office...it's FREE and a great substitute for Microsoft Office. It can open and save all Word, Excel, and Powerpoint documents...and it can export to PDF.

The only thing it can not do is publisher files, and it doesn't have a contact management system like Outlook.

I have been using this free pdf creator and it is great http://www.pdfcreator.de.vu/ It works like a printer and instead of sending your doc to print you just make a pdf. It has saved me hour of time and about a 100 pounds of paper and scanner time.
