Adobe Acrobat Creator Replacement...

    Hi all,

    I was surfing around the net there and was just wondering if, like OpenOffice is to Microsoft Office, is there a program out there that allows one to create PDF files much like a good expensive version of Adobe Acrobat would do for you, except that it's free and possibly open-source?

    I have heard of a program called PDF reDirect but when I went to their site they had a "professional" version for sale which kinda made me think that perhaps this isn't what I was looking for in that it wasn't free, essentially.

    Any help would be great but if nobody can then it ain't gonna end the world!

    Nice one!

    Well i've only used it once, seemed ok.
    There's a webapp PDF online i've heard of but never used. And a good article on pdf writers here.
