Resolved PDF Converter

I need to download a program that converts documents to PDF, preferrably a free one. Which is the best to do this?

 

What type of file are you wanting to convert to a PDF?

 

How to Print to PDF in Windows: 4 Tips and Tricks

 

Foxit Reader is a Free Software pdf program. Neil.

 

Have had PDF -XChange Viewer for years works with XP up to 8.1 64Bit
Wouldn't use anything else.

I have Vista, will these work for any type of document: Word, Word Pad, etc? Also, does viewers convert & can they be saved and/or edited?
I want the best that will not download a bunch of junk to my computer ie.,unwanted pop-ups, ads, etc..

 

I installed Nitro PDF on this Windows 7 laptop, but haven't tested all of it's capabilities yet. From what I have read it should do what you are asking.

Here is a WikipediA page listing PDF programs.

List of PDF software

 

If you use a "Print-to-PDF" print driver, anything you can print from within any program can be sent into (saved as) a PDF file.

 

JTee, as far as I know yes, I am not a heavy PDF user but I have never had a situation where I could not open a PDF document regardless from where it was coming from. No problem printing,program is small format not like Acrobat.
Some years ago I had problems with Acrobat and it gave me the willies, so someone on the BBS Forum here did advice me to go to PDF-XCange Viewer can' remember who, to long ago, but I have never looked back since.
I am using it on my old XP machine, Win 7 on the Laptop and now win8.1 64 bit desktop.
What more can I say.

And, yes, it does work on Vista.

 

Thanks everyone for your assistance and suggestions. I decided on foxit.

 

I believe you'll be pleased with your choice. And thanks for getting back to us.

 

I see you must have marked this resolved before I had a chance Bobbo; my computer was malfunctioning & I did not even submit my reply thanking everyone. I had to log out and log back in.

 

It wasn't me. I believe the only person that can do that is the OP (that's you). Maybe Admin. can, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, glad to have been part of the help you got.

 

I don't know how it was marked 'resolved', but I am grateful for the help & suggestions I received. I was in the process of replying and marking the issue resolved when my computer froze up and I wasn't able to complete what I was doing, and had to turn my computer off & back on, and when I did my reply was posted & the issue was marked 'resolved'(???) In any case, thanks to everyone who came to my aid!
