Besides, anyone using office 2007 has the ability to create PDF's on the fly from almost any module in the program. The Help file can tell you how and where to download the converter from Microsoft, and it's really slick. I think Open Office from Sun has the same capability, but have not used it. I tried a converter from a British firm a while back that installed like a printer. It worked after a fashion, but spit out printer code instead of text.

Rik, If you need to create PDF documents, you could purchase Acrobat Pro, but if you only need to read them, just get the latest version of Acrobat Reader 9.
