I use CutePDF. &nbsp;<a href="http://www.cutepdf.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.cutepdf.com/</a> &nbsp;There is a free version. &nbsp;You have to download and install Ghostscript first but there is a link on that page. &nbsp;Like all of the others, it installs as a printer driver.

I just bought my wife a new laptop, and she needs to be able to create PDF's from her Word and Excel documents. &nbsp;She does NOT, however, need the full Adobe Acrobat program. &nbsp;Are there simple, reliable, and inexpensive programs available (other than the costly Adobe Acrobat) that can create PDF files from other programs?<br />

Adobe Acrobat is a family of application software and Web services developed by Adobe Systems to view, create, manipulate, print and manage files in Portable Document Format (PDF). The family comprises Acrobat Reader (formerly Adobe Reader), Acrobat (formerly Acrobat Exchange) and Acrobat.com. The commercial proprietary Acrobat, available for Microsoft Windows and OS X only, can also create, edit, convert, digitally sign, encrypt, export and publish PDF files.

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
