PDF995

"PDF" is Adobe's "Portable Document Format" (surely you've seen it plenty; "everybody" uses it). Everyone probably has the PDF reader, since it's free. You may even have a program or two that will "print" PDF documents. But if you want to be able to create PDFs from "any" program, you have to buy the capability. That's how Adobe "gets you" I guess. Ah, but not with PDF995. It's a suite of PDF utilities that lets you create PDFs, edit existing PDFs, even encrypt or add validation "signatures" to PDFs. All for free (with ads, or $9.95 to register and omit the ads).
