All PDFCreator is basically is a pseudo-printer, you would use some other application to scan the document, then "print" it to the PDFCreator printer, much in the same way as the way pdf995 works. It's not a total replacement for Acrobat Pro because it doesn't edit the PDF file. pdf995 has a very basic editor called pdfedit995 which can let you concatenate pages, delete pages, basic things like that, but its is rudimentary - no drag and drop simplicity. If that's good enough for you, then it'd work fine. Its nag screens on the ad-supported version are a bit long though. There is this program that lets you edit the actual elements in a PDF document, its kinda clunky, but it is cheap at $79 and has a shareware download for you to try it. http://www.pdfeditor.net/ Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc.

We use Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro; however after 5 years of upgrades licensing is getting ridiculous.

Free open source software without the nag screens of PDF995, additionally it can save printed documents as raster file formats (jpg/tiff) as well. It also is compatibile with 64-bit editions of Windows. Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc.

From: Stefan Jafs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 10:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: pdf995 I'm looking to alternatives to Adobe Acrobat Pro due to the ridiculous high $$, I came across pdf995, anyone have experience with it or any other better pdf writer? I need to be able to create pdf's and insert remove pages for about 50 users, digital signature is not required. __________________________________________________ Stefan Jafs This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
