MakePDF
(Freeware)
OS: Windows
Languages: English
Description: Portable Document Files (PDF) can be read on any platform with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. The only problem is that Adobe want big bucks for the tools to create the files. Fortunately there is a free alternative - if you configure a Windows Postscript printer driver to create a Postscript file, you can print anything to the file and then use APL Ghostscript to convert the Postscript file to PDF. The only problem with this is that is Ghostscript uses a command line interface which can be difficult to use. Hence this simple but powerful Front End was born. NOTES: Requires Ghostcript and a Postscript printer driver installed
