?. CutePDF does create PDFs; after installation, a new printer device appears. You print to this "printer" from any program, and a PDF file is produced and saved. It's a common enough technique for PDF-producers, since you can then produce the PDF from any printable file type. This makes sense, since PDF is meant to be able to manage anything printable (it's basically a compressed, font-embedding and other ways enhanced version of PostScript, after all). > To CREATE a PDF go here: http://www.pdf995.com/ I seem to recall using that, and UNINSTALLING, um, uninstalling it after a while. Don't recall why, though; I don't think it was because of the ads. Oh look, I made some FUD ... :)
