Z, One other possibility is to have folks import their Word docs into OpenOffice, and then Save as PDF. OO does a very nice job. I don't have experience converting Excel to PDF in OO, but that should be OK too.

My questions related to the fact that we need to get PDF creation ability for *all* the employees in our company, and the price of Acrobat Pro (or Standard, too) would be very prohibitive. These folks mostly do not use FrameMaker ... most are simply using Word and Excel for their daily stuff. Right now, I am leaning towards either Acrobat Elements or PDF995 as the "preferred" solution for this new policy ... those seem to have garnered the most "votes" too, but I do plan on quickly looking at some of the open-source freebie stuff as well.
