A few months ago word came out that Microsoft was going to include PDF functionality in their next version of Office.
When Microsoft quietly let the world know it surprised many - because it was done with little fanfare. But it was clear why they decided upon this. Government said they would only use office suites that only supported open formats … like PDF.
Microsoft has literally been dragged kicking and screaming into accepting open standards (remember: Microsoft have made their billions on stringent proprietary software over the years), but times are a changin’, hence their move to include PDF in Office 2007 - and the people (that’ll be the customers who fork out the money for such products) have been asking for this for years.

Previously I introduced you to a free online pdf generator - Need to Create a Quick PDF? - that allowed you to create a PDF document online within minutes.
But for those that like to have a little control (ie: like me you still feel more comfortable doing it from the desktop) then PrimoPDF may be more suitable for you.
PrimoPDF is a free PDF converter (9.8Mb). It simply acts as a printer driver so when you are ready with your document you select print but rather than printing it out you select the PrimoPDF option. From there you get a basic set of options to choose from, including various security features.
For those that just need the basics (with just a little cool stuff included) then this one is for you. For information publishers, it’s a must-have item in your bag of tools.
