I think I'm going try the free trail of ActivePDF DocConverter. The next meeting is Sept. 13th at 6:30pm. I normally drive so I'll email that morning to see if you want to ride with us. You might want to also signup on their guestbook. You'll get good info all day from people asking questions back and forth. You can also submit any questions to [email protected] once you signup.
