WordPerfect is a far superior product to Word. WordPerfect was very late migrating to Windows and had very poor marketing. Thus MS already had the market share. And Word is "good enough" for 99% of the people, so they didn't consider trying something "new." </RANT> A good virtual PDF printer (puts "print to PDF" as an additional printer on the print menu) is CutePDF Writer. Freeware. http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/Writer.asp The most recent version (3.xx) tries very hard to put ask.com as your default search engine and do other stuff. You gotta keep saying "no" persistently during the installation. See if you can download version 2.28 (2.xx). However, the one that I have is from back when it was issued. They may have added the annoyware to it since. Works like a charm once installed. You have to also download ghostwriter from the same web page. It's the actual .pdf file renderer. GPL licensed.
