Free PDF printer

I highly recommend staying away from PDF995. The freeware version has Ads that are a pain to deal with. I'm talking big pop ups that you have to click thru. Then the setup, trying to deploy it out to many stations if you actually bought the product? They have an Autosetup.exe file that you have to ask for that does a silent install, but to try and create an MSI package.... they want you still run 3 executables after the package has been pushed out. come on. There are other software products that offer their products in MSI format and give you the deployment guides and tools when you buy their software, or other products are just simple to install. Such products are PrimoPDF or Bullzip. Both of these are very simple to use and install, have no ADs or non intrusive Ads.
Consider yourself warned, stay away from PDF995 and search for alternatives like PrimoPDF and Bullzip. Then you can use FoxIt to read the pdf's you just created. All for free.
