So, I was going to do my final paper for my film as lit. course until I realized that it wasn't due 'till Friday. Y'know what that means?
Procrastination time!
Time that I spent putting together a couple of posters. Now I'm waiting to get an e-mail from Zamzar.com with my shiny, brand new pdf's and I've got nothing to do in the meantime.
Sooooo... What's going on, peedee?
Why are you using Zamzar? There's plenty of us here who can convert them for you.
Oh. I didn't know. I'm a sort of Luddite. That's good to know for the future.
Also, how about that fief?
For that matter, there's PDFcreator.

my favorite freeware way to make PDFs without messing with adobe:
bullzip pdf printer (http://www.bullzip.com/)
it installs a virtual printer. When you go to print, you'll see it on your list of printers. If you print to bullzip, the output is a PDF rather than a physical page.
So, a possible stupid question. For some reason, when I transfer doc. files to pdf, the images are getting kind of pixelated. I don't remember this happening before. What could a reason for this be?
Protip - Open office saves to pdf. It's just like all those other free pdf generators except for the fact that it isn't a buggy little pile of gobshite.
wait, open office IS or ISN'T buggy? I suspect you and I have had different experiences.
Whenever I dump an open office doc to PDF, I lose tons of layout

Hey, the one I use comes from Sourceforge!

I've never had that problem personally - is that when you use the Bullzip PDF writer, or the built-in export PDF option?
I've had problems with OpenOffice's built in PDF export. Some kinds of formatting (like fonts & odd frames) got a little jumbled. To be fair, that may have been fixed in subsequent builds.
But bullzip is good for if you want to make an image into a PDF, or a webpage, or anything that you can't quickly paste into openoffice.
Open Office has been eating up my processing power of late, so I tried MS Word 2007, and there is a plugin you can download with it to convert files into PDF, which works like a charm.
