?. 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).

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 ... :)
