Another PDF Solution for Windows Users

David Einstein writes a column for the San Francisco Chronicle titled Computing Q&A. In today's Chronicle one question asked about creating PDFs on Windows. His answer provides an additional alternative for Windows users. Here's the relevant portion of today's column:

Q: I recently purchased a new computer, which didn't come with a program for creating .pdf files. I searched Google and Cnet for .pdf creation software, but the programs I found were compatible with Windows XP and Vista, not Windows 7. Is there a free .pdf creator for Windows 7?

A: In fact, there are several. And by the way, most programs designed for XP and Vista also work on Windows 7. The longtime leader in pdf-ing is Pdf995, which can convert any document into a .pdf faster than Houdini turned a handkerchief into a songbird. The free version of Pdf995 displays a sponsor page each time you use the software. For a fee of $9.95, you can eliminate that nuisance. You can get Pdf995 at pdf995.com.
