Oh my!

The freeware PrimoPDF (http://primopdf.com) installed easier and
quicker on Windows XP than CutePDF Writer
(http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp) did and without
the need for a secondary program such as GhostScript
(http://www.ghostscript.com/) to also be co-installed!

Like the CutePDF Writer, PrimoPDF created a selectable printer in
Start, Settings, Printers and Faxes named "PrimoPDF". However, unlike
the CutePDF Writer, PrimoPDF seems to have more user configurable
options such as automatic launching the Adobe Acrobat Reader on the
printed-to-PDF results, security options, document properties, etc.

Neither CutePDF nor PrimoPDF seems to allow you to select whether or
not to embed all fonts (I am not sure if they embed anything or
everything at this point).

But, best of all, the CutePDF installer allows you to install the
program where it belongs!

Thank you for you astute advice - I've deleted CutePDF Writer from my
system as it seems to have nothing whatsoever over PrimoPDF (or did I
miss something important that CutePDF has over PrimoPDF)?

I love you guys,
Susan
