Sometimes we have to print the documtent to PDF file.
If you have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional , congratulation for you. It cost you US$422. at Amazon. It has so many features I don’t need. I just want to convert a document to PDF file only.
Let’s Google the web.

Their products provide too formats to use. The price is over $200. I don’t want it.

  1. PDF files look exactly like original documents and preserve source file information. PDF lets you capture and view robust information—from any application, on any computer system—and share it with anyone around the world. Individuals, businesses, and government agencies everywhere rely on PDF. I like your choice, kinda follow that one, I hope you don’t mind.
