Creating A PDF File From Any Application on Windows XP

A PDF file is viewable from any platform. You just have to have a PDF reader and Abobe's Acrobat Reader is freely downloadable.

There are applications, like OpenOffice.Org that provide a facility to export documents to PDF format, but some do not make it available for free. Pagemaker 7 does have a facility to export the document to PDF, but not without purchasing Distiller.

It's not really a big problem and the solution is to let the application print the document to a PDF Printer. What's nice is that we have this PDF printer available for personal or commercial use and no fee is required!

Perform these in order:

1. Download and install the latest GPL Ghostscript (working old version GPL Ghostscript 8.5)
   
2. Download and install Bullzip PDF Printer Driver

When done, you will have a new printer called BullZip PDF Printer and you can print from any application into this printer--- the output of which is a PDF File.

Cheers!
