Need new, free PDF program.

I used Foxit on the old computer and it was great in converting Publisher files to Acrobat ones via the "printer" function. Well, I downloaded a version at home and that is no longer a feature of the free version. I tried it at church here too and an earlier version from their site, but unless I failed to go back far enough, there is no version that will do this anymore. If we need to pay, we might, but if we are going to pay and there is a better one, please let me know. If there is a good freebie that will do what I need, let me know that as well please. Thanks.

There are plenty of freeware programs available that will convert to PDF via the print function, regardless of the starting file type - I use the free version of PrimoPDF, but again, there are plenty of good programs out there.

You will still be able to use Foxit reader as your .pdf file reader - that will not change.

I use CutePDF. I think you may be mistaken - Foxit has always had a free reader but not a free creator/converter.

Yeah GLC, I think CutePDF is what I had before the computer went down, and I must have found the wrong one when I searched here to download again.

Thanks everyone.
