    I tried creating a PDF with Bluebeam printer of a webpage. The printer
    icon came up on the bottom of the page, it and look like something was
    printed. I didnt get an option to save the filename, so Im not sure if
    it really did anything.

    I did a search on the C: drive for *.pdf, and didnt see any new files.

    Yeah it doesn't give you an error looks like it is doing something but
    doesn't. I think if you buy their full version it works on anything.

  3. We've had the same thing happen here. We actually bought PDF995 to use from
    other programs like AutoCAD and it's been working really well.

    www.pdfmachine.com has a free pdf generator. I use that @ home, and it
    works great. IT dept is very strict on what we install @ work, so I
    cant install it. :p

  5. If you're looking for a good free solution, try PDFCreator which is
    open source. It has several options including security. You can print
    to a PDF or several other formats (PNG, JPG, BMP, PCX, TIFF, PS, EPS).
    There are also several translations available if you need something
    other than English.

    The project page is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
    and the download page for the current release is
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57796&package_id=53473&release_id=228013

    This is free and has no adware/spyware attached. I suggest that you
    get the AFPL version (PDFCreator-0_8_0_AFPLGhostscript.exe). The AFPL
    version uses a newer PDF creating engine than the GNU version. The
    only caveat of the AFPL version is that you can't redistribute it
    commercially, which is no problem for in-house use.

    Do any of the alternatives NOT flip page setup from Landscape tp Portrait
    after they have been used?
    So far, many seem to do so
