I've looked at a couple - PDFCamp at www.verypdf.com and Win2Pdf at www.win2pdf.com

Win2Pdf is superior at this point. Both are dirt cheap. Pdfcamp has a couple of major problems which they tell me are being corrected in the next version (a few weeks from now). The problem is that neither page orientation nor scaling is automated. If you have a portrait doc that fits on a portrait page, you're ok - same with landscape, but if you have a doc that changes orientation or size, then it doesn't do the job.

Win2Pdf has neither problem.

>I'm looking for an alternative to Adobe to make PDF files. We used to use Adobe 5.0 print driver to make the PDF by setting a registry setting. Now in 6.0 this doesn’t work and I’ve tried to change the program to edit the new registry values but they are in a different place for NT 4 vs. XP and I can’t even get it to work on Citrix 2003. So I’m fed up with Adobe 6.0 and looking for a different print driver that can be controlled by a developer to output the result to PDF. Has anyone used a different print driver that they created PDF files from programmatically?
