Create your own PDFs for free
FreePDF XP is a simple app that allows you to create PDFs from any application – for free!
When it comes to saving documents to the web, PDF format rules the roost. However, users often complain that the leading PDF applications, like Adobe Acrobat, are pretty expensive.
Thankfully, FreePDF offers a free alternative that does a pretty good job of making PDF files, complete with password protection. You can use FreePDF XP to save to PDF from a number of formats, including Word documents, pictures or Web pages.
FreePDF XP is really easy to use, installing itself on your machine and adding an option for you to Print to PDF in your printer dialog.
From here you can choose from a variety of options for output, such as dimensions and resolution. If you want to save documents to PDF as cheaply and easily as possible, check out FreePDF XP.

Works perfectly, but is hidden, you have to select from the Print... menu.
Would have given it 10/10 but for the sneeky Softonic Downloader, and the complete lack of and explanation or Help with this program. Pros:
Make perfect .pdf file from Word .doc
Need to select 'FreePDF' as the printer from the Print... window in Word. Then, on pressing OK the FreePDF program will (finally!) open and offer you options as to what to do with the 'pdf' file it will then create. More

Windows 7 compatibility.
I install Windows 7 with ghostscript 8.71 on a computer. Each time I launch a print to FreePDF 4.02, I did not received it immediatly. I need to wait the restart of the PC to have FreePDF window and manage documents.
Seems there is a problem between application and ghostscript, a windows service perhaps. Try to reinstall program without success. If someone could help me about his case.
