The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com __________________________________________________________________
One approach would be to "persuade" your customers to provide PDF (or even better to give them an "incentive" to do so) <mean grin>. You need PDF to continue working (that's assumed). Now, if you don't get PDF, you will have to make PDF ... and that is a service you provide for your customers...
I guess with that, you have enough "incentives", don't you.
The next question is your quality needs. Keep in mind that particularly with PDF creation, the situation is very much "you get what you pay", meaning that you might get useful stuff, but you might also get horrendous crap from "freeware" PDF creators. And then you have even more work fixing things... although for that, there are some useful tools around.
Hope, this can help.

I receive a lot of files from my customers from all kinds of graphics
programs. I want them to send me PDF files, but it isn't important to them,
so they won't spend any money.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend one or two shareware or freeware PDF
maker programs so I won't have to try everyone out there.
It needs to be really easy, something like choosing a printer. It needs to
work on different versions of windows, and if it worked on Mac that would be
a plus. It needs to make press ready PDF files. If I could set up the
preferences and give them a file and tell them were to download the program
that would be great too.
