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've used PDF 995 before, and it's not bad. Two things do stand out. On
my previous, older home computer, it seemed to consume a fair amount of
system resources, at least at that time (a little over two years ago). I
found PDF Creator seemed to be leaner, more efficient, and -- this
brings me to the second thing -- no ads.

Subject: PDF995 (Acrobat alternative)
Last week or so, I inquired here of free / cheap alternatives to Adobe
Acrobat Professional and got lots of good answers.
I went ahead and downloaded the PDF 995 suite of programs earlier today.
It created the desired pdf file just fine, and I notice that it offers a
whole slew of features - just like Acrobat.
Has anybody here used PDF995 and if so, what are the pro's and con's
you've discovered?
If all goes well, I'll probably stick with the "sponsored" version; I
already use Eudora as my e-mail client in sponsored mode and it's just
fine. The ads are rather unobtrusive and every so often, I see something
that appeals to me.
