How rare, I was only looking into this myself on sunday. I ended up downloading MyPDFCreator. It does the job, but annoyingly I can't get it to stop loading on startup.

It is the best one I have found so far, and I've tried about 10 different products when rolling out a citrix environment, and this was the least intrusive, and it "just works" which is always good.

NOTE : If for some reason msconfig won't load (I don't know why this happens on some machines but it does) then you can use the Tools icon in ccleaner to remove startup items in the same way you would untick them in msconfig.

haven't tried, but yeah I expect that'll do it. I was just going to uninstall it once it had served its purpose.Dr. kitteny berk wrote:

I use PrimoPDF, just select it as the printer when printing from an application and it creates the pdf file nice and quickly

Use open office, it will save as pdf as standard.
Failing that, PDFCreator is good.

I use Acrobat Professional, because it's provided by my employer and because I need to edit PDFs. Works a treat (as you'd expect).
On the 'free' front, I've found DoPDF to work well. If you're using Office 2007, there's a useful official PDF/XPS output plugin, too.

Although my copy of office is 
and has everything in the wrong place compared to what I'm used to, it does do useful things. I have got pdf creator buried somewhere in my utilities folder, but I don't think I've ever used it, I dislike pdf and generally avoid it.
