I stumbled across this software a few months ago when planning the idea for my website. I needed to create files everyone could read for free. OK, so a wide majority of people now have MS Word, but some don't. PDFs were the answer and I found this solution. You create the file in any software you like, as long as it has a print function, then you 'print' the file to PDF995 and an exact copy is saved as a .PDF file. There are three parts to the suite:

PDF995
PDFEdit995
PDFSignature995

Combining these three gives the following features:

QUOTE(www.pdf995.com)
Automatic insertion of embedded links
Hierarchical Bookmarks
Support for Digital Signatures
Support for Triple DES encryption
Append Delete and Reorder PDF Pages
Batch Print from Microsoft Office
Asian and Cyrillic fonts
Integration with Microsoft Word toolbar
PDF Stationery
Combining multiple PDF's into a single PDF
Burst/Split PDFs
Sticky Note Annotations
Three auto-name options to bypass Save As dialog
Imposition of Draft/Confidential stamps
Support for large format architectural printing
Convert PDF to JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PCX formats
Convert PDF to HTML and Word DOC conversion
Convert PDF to text
Automatic Table of Contents generation
Support for XP Fast User Switching and multiple user sessions
Standard PDF Encryption (restricted printing, modifying, copying text and images)
Support for Optimized PDF and Compressed PDF
Support for custom page sizes
Support for shared network printing
Dynamic Page and 'Bates' stamping
Option to attach PDFs to email after creation
Automatic text summarization of PDF documents
Easy integration with document management and Workflow systems
n-Up printing
Automatic page numbering
Simple Programmers Interface
Option to automatically display PDFs after creation
Custom resizing of PDF output
Configurable Font embedding
Support for Citrix/Terminal Server
Support for Windows 2003 Server
Easy PS to PDF processing
Specify PDF document properties
Control PDF opening mode
RGB and CMYK colorspaces
Page Rotation
Can be configured to add functionality to Acrobat Distiller
Free: Creates PDFs without annoying watermarks
Free: Fully functional, not a trial and does not expire


The only downside is that everytime you use the software, a small window advertising some of their other paid services appears. I think this is a small price to pay for such great software.

(You need both the converter and the printer drivers for the software to work, and the printer drivers MUST be installed first)

Hope someone gets some use out of this, and any feedback or experiences would be nice.

It all seems like a good solution. If the ad only appears when I use it and it doesn't steal my personal information I am fine with that. I'll try to get some use out of this and tell you what I think.

The ad only appears to you, not to people opening the .PDF files, and doesn't steal your information or anything like that. I think the page is actually stored on your hard drive rather than accessed over the Internet.

You can also use Acrobat Reader Pro to do that!

You can use also OpenOffice (the free MSOffice) to do that. With the great advantage that it is open source. So, free!!!
