PDF 995
If it doesn't work try Pdf 995_2
This works as a printer driver that prints to a PDF file. You print in the standard way and chose the pdf995 driver as the printer. It prompts for a
file save location and away you go.

You need Adobe Acrobat to write PDF files. The reader just reads them. However, you need to buy it.
As chunkielad has said, you can use a number of drivers that are available foc, so they are the cheapest option.
If you need me to create some for you, I have Abobe Acrobat, so if you e-mail them to me, I will send them back. PM me if I can be of help.
Regards,
Chris.

If you hadn't got it to work I would have sugested Ghostscript combined with Ghostview as the front end --- avaialble for most OS a produces
very portable PDF and is importantly it is open source.

FYI OpenOffice.org
Open Office has a PDF creation feature.
MS Office 97 & 2000, word, excel, and powerpoint, open in Open Office suite. There is a button to creat a PDF from there.
Free to download and use, plus open file formats. I would recommend it to anyone asking....

Open Office is mainly java code its slow and wastes resources, the start up is really slow on some distros, even on modern machines with some of
the faster distros that use prelinking it only just about runs at an acceptable speed. Abiword or even the much underestimated Kword are much
better at everyday word processing task, while for a spreadsheet I use Gnummeric.
Trouble with office software is it always has to be bigger and better with every release -- with the exception of the introduction of html format
MS Word hasn't really improved since the days of Word 97 and even that version lost useful features that were in Word 95.
