QUOTE(dreus @ Jun 12 2006, 02:06 PM) [snapback]258129[/snapback] I haven't heard of OpenOffice until I read the previous posts. Based on the positive feedback, I'll be sure to check it out. At the same time though, I've never had any problems with MS Office and why fix something if it isn't broken right? Nonetheless, I'll give 'change' a chance *keeps fingers crossed* In the past, I've used PrimoPDF to create my pdf documents. Although I've never tweaked around to see if various security features can be enabled, I've never had any problems with it. Simple and straightforward program. Props to free software. Open Office gets my vote. Or try Cutepdf as a standalone PDF Creator. It installs as a quasi-printer and you select it as the output device to create a pdf rather than a paper copy. Works great.

Its not the MS Office has problems running, it's just extremely bloated, and so are its files. OpenOffice does not suffer these setbacks. Open Office is also cross platform with *nix systems.

Tetraca, OpenOffice can only create pdf files for the office programs, it is very usefull, but not enough, at least for me, as a webdesigner. Imagine if you open an image, for instance, if you open a jpg, gif, bmap, with your personal images viewer program installed on your operative system, with pdfcreator you can make a pdf file just with that image, you just need to click the print button and choose the pdfcreator printer and click ok to build the pdf file with the image you oppened. Now, openoffice can't do that, and the same applys for many other programs that are able to print, you just need to choose the printer named pdfcreator to build pdf files.
