I've been digging around to see who makes the best PDF creator, but then again when it comes to software, beauty sometimes is in the eyes of the beholder, LOL.

From what I gather pdfFactory Pro and Jaws are two of the best.

Any thoughts here on these or anyone else better?

Right now I'm using Pdfforge for something free, and what appears simple, and seems to work fine, but I wonder if anything is really better...


THANKS

I've tried a few, including genuine Adobe Acrobat. My final favorite is Nitro PDF.

Did you try pdfFactory Pro? I'd like to hear how it compares to Nitro.

Yeah I imagine there are a million of these PDF creator apps, just a matter of what someone has been steered towards, I'd imagine and found, but I was curious if there was any particular company/name that stood out...

What I really liked about Nitro was that the current version has the identical GUI to Microsoft Office 2007 programs.

The interface with Word is terrific and easy to use.

Nitro

Boy it certainly doesn't look like PDF Creators are a hot topic around here, LOL...

I do except I only use Adobe's Acrobat.

Acrobat might be big but for sending out PDFs around the world, and needing true standardization, meaning it's going to work for everyone, I'd imagine Adobe is the world standard...

Since I need to send PDFs around the world, maybe I better stick with Acrobat Pro.

Well as I said I need to send them around the world, so I need to make sure they are pretty standard and work without problems.

Sorry I meant applications that were working in this standard.

I've read of many PDF apps that didn't do a good job of making a PDF that was readable across other readers...

This is what I meant, not PDF in itself as a standard...
