[OT] PDF creation... alternatives for Adobe Acrobat?
|

| Marja Ribbers 2005-10-31, 6:16 pm |
| Hi,
Does anyone know of a good alternative for Adobe Acrobat for creating =
PDFs with support for bookmarks etc.?
I donwloaded the Acrobat 30-day trial, but it is so very slow.=20
And I've looked at many other, simpler PDF products, but none of them =
seems to support bookmarks and cross-document links.
The product does not need to be free. I'm just looking for good value =
for my money.
Anyone?
Regards, Marja

| Hi Marja
In the past I have used easypdf
http://www.visagesoft.com/products/easypdf/
In the end I purchased a full version of the Adobe program but easy pdf is
cheap and supports links etc.
The problem I found with it was compatibility with old pdf documents etc
but at 30 (cant find the euro sign) it's good value.

| Hi Ian,
Thank you for your reply.
Why did you decide to buy the Adobe program lateron? Was that because of =
the PDF compatibility issue?

CutePDF (http://www.cutepdf.com). I don't think the free version supports
bookmarks, but the paid for version does)
Win2PDF (http://www.daneprairie.com/products/) has some nice features, but I
can't see any reference to bookmarks.
I use both of these. CutePDF is better for some documents, Win2PDF better
for others.
HTH,
Pete.

| Hi
I had problems with viewers who had older versions of adobe reader. Although
this goes back to the days before broadband when downloading was a serious
problem.
The software worked OK but I was made aware of issues which I was unable to
rectify easily.
I decided that If everyone wants to emulate Adobe then I should get the full
program and since then I've had no compatitibily problems. I'm afraid I do
tend to look for the past of least agravation rather than struggle to find a
work around!.
I have used lots of |PDF software and all work but none do verything that
adobe does.
ie. If I write a manual for a database I can do it in word and create text
and pdf versions at the same time.
I suppose it's like DW it isn't the cheapest but everyone compares their
product to it -
Cheers
Ian

I agree, but the Acrobat trial is so slow that it triggered me to look =
for alternatives.
I'm definitely not looking for the cheapest, but rather for simply a =
good solution.
