Can anyone recommend a decent PDF creator (i.e. free, and graphical).

Need creation software, but its only for 1 document, so dont want to splash out for something unused.

I use something called AlienTools PDF generator, it installs as another printer and you just print to it and viola a PDF! its free and alot smaller (about 900k I think) than something like acrobat distiller.

I use Scansoft PDF Printer, as above installs as a printer, prompts for a file name and out comes PDF file on disk.

I'll convert it for you if you want to email the document (assuming it is not confidential etc.) Address in profile

Thumbs up

PDF Creator is the one at sourceforge - http://pdfcreator.sourceforge.net

I'm now recommending it to all colleagues, and it's saving the company quite a lot of money.

It installs as a printer driver, and works simply brilliantly. Utterly recommended. Best of all, it's free (as in beer and speech) and is open source should you feel the need...

Wholeheartedly recommended
