TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I think Daniel may be referring to PDF Maker, not PDF Writer. According
to most PDF-heads, PDF Writer is usually a poor choice. PDF Maker, which
installs a convenient button for itself in the button bar of MS Office
applications, works quite well and is more robust than PDF Writer in
many respects. PDF Writer, an older approach, has some severe
limitations. It is apparently included in the Acrobat 4 package for
backward compatibility reasons.
