Help with pdf

Post by Guest » 05 Dec 2004, 15:56

Does anyone know of a free and easy-to-use application that will allow me to create a pdf? I have a drawing of the proposed signalised junction to replace the Kings Rd roundabout but there's a lot of detail so a pdf is the best solution.

I used to have something but can't find it and can't remember what it was called.

I use pdf995 - it lets you set up a fake printer driver that prints to file, and via pdf995 converts it to a pdf.

Thanks MrSpoon. Very simple to use, so simple in fact that even I could do it. Do you have any tips on how to reduce the file-size? I reduced the res to 72 dpi but still ended up with 3.75 mb.

Not really - I've only used it a couple of times and always for text documents :/
