[Coco] OT Linux question

[lciotti1 at gmail.com]

For windows print to pdf - have always used the free CutePDF program. 

I have never used a linux box as my desktop for very long.  I am always drawn back to windows because of work, and there are some types of programs that either do not exist in linux or the ones that do are so far behind I just can't fight with them.

Thanks John
I actually have Adobe Acrobat 5.0 for Windows, but it will not install under Windows Vista 64 bit. Too old
It allowed me to "print" to pdf from MS word which was great.
So this is exactly what I was looking for.

======================

There are several "print to PDF" utilities for Windows as well. I've been using a product called "PDF995" (www.pdf995.com). Works great. You can go to www.downloads.com and find something as well. PDF995 has you install Ghostscript and works though that. PDF995 installs a printer driver, you just select that as the printer and away you go, just like the Linux PDF printer.

I tried Scribus for DTP but it just wasn't developed enough for me yet, too many changes taking place. I bought a copy of PageStream (PgS) which is a mature product and works well. I don't mind paying for Linux software as long as it's reasonably priced ($100-150 in this case), is supported, and works well. PgS was originally written for the Amiga and was popular on that platform, was ported to Windows and Linux.
