    pdfcreator.

    You just print to the fake 'printer' and this then creates a PDF.

    I also use PDFCreator, although I saw today that Office 2007 has save to PDF built-in. An optional install or something. Sweet.

    Open Office will also do this as it has a built in PDF conversion button. I use it on a U3 pen drive at work and find it very handy.

    That's what I suggest to clients.

    In OS X preview does it already, shame windows isn't the same.

    Thanks Lee! I've already got the PDF file I need use PDFcreator, many thanks. It's really easy to use.

    By the way, who can tell me how to give my "thanks" to other?

    Thanks Stringent! After I got the PDF file under PDFcreator, then I want to modify it, then I found CutePDF is very strong! Thanks again.

    Re: Want to make excel to PDF

    Office 2007 does indeed have a PDF maker download but the PDFs are pretty huge compared to what CutePDF can do if you "print" an Office 2007 file to the CutePDF printer.

    That or OpenOffice.

    Re: Want to make excel to PDF

    Open Office PDFs are quite big - I've used PDF Factory for a couple of years and the files are often less than half the size of the Word doc. from which they're made.
    The footer is quite small and doesn't encroach on to the printed area.

    There are two options when creating pdfs in office 2007, one of which reduces the size significantly.

    Re: Want to make excel to PDF

    I tried about a dozen PDF printers; I neede one that was quick, gave small PDFs and was MAPI-compliant so that the files went to the e-mail client (Eudora). PDF Factory Pro was by far the easiest to use - no questions about names, files, locations or anything - just did the job.
