I have 5 Windows 2003 Servers running Citrix with 150 users. I would like to install a PDF creator solution on these servers so that users can create PDF's of anything that they can print. It seems there are hundreds of solutions out there. I would like some recommendations based on actual experience. I don't need anything complicated or advanced. Just something to create PDF's with. I don't want to break the bank but understand that you have to pay for good software.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Yes, I agree, CutePDF is stable, free, and works well in every TS/Citrix environment I have tried. Here is a trick, you can even have users load the same setup on their side, then, print to the autocreated CuteWriter. The file save dialog box occurs on their end and reduces confusion finding local file structures.
On the other hand, often you will want them to save in the server's environment so that would make a difference.
The company I work for uses Win2PDF on Citrix and it works well.

Personally I think CutePDF is just as good, if not better, but I've only used that on a personal home PC level. I'd suggest giving it a go on a small scale and if it's to your liking then consider rolling it out to be available to more users.

Hey Mark, we've incorporated CutePDF Writer (Freeware) http://www.cutepdf.com/pro
Our ticket requests for Acrobat came to a halt.
Hope that helps.
