something like this
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

Installing it now. Thanks

btw, pdfcreator will allow saving/printing to about 10 different formats.


Is that ten different kinds of PDF, or ... ?


pfd,png,jpeg,bmp,pcx,tiff,ps,eps,txt,psd,pcl,raw, svg.

Thanks. I presume the first one was PDF itself.
PNG, JP(E)G, BMP, PCX, and TIFF, are raster images (some with
compression). RAW _could_ be.
PS, EPS, and PCL, are sort of typesetting forms (though I think can
include images).
TXT is of course just text, without any images or fonts.
I don't know PSD or SVG.

Sounds like a useful utility!
