Setup PDF Printer in Windows 7 - Cute PDF and Adobe PDF Printer
IF you want to use Adobe PDF Printer then you have to buy a Professional version of Adobe.
Printing to PDF as an option is available from Adobe 7 Pro, Adobe 8 Pro and Adobe 9 Pro.
It works like a virtual printing device, once you install this driver(Adobe Printing to PDF driver)
You will get an option to print to PDF automatically in the Print Dialog
If you don’t want to go and buy a Adobe Professional, then you can use some of the available free tools
One such example is Cute PDF - http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp
This works great, This needs two basic requirements to work,
Installation Requirements
Supports Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7 (x86/x64).
Requires PS2PDF converter such as Ghostscript (recommended).
You can get the free GPL Ghostscript 8.15 here.
Once you download and install the CutePDF software, While installing if you don’t have as PS2PDF Converter, during the installation CutePDF will itself ask for an auto download and install.
This requires an internet connection, so that it can download and install PS2PDF converter from internet.
After the installation you don need to restart the computer, all you need to do is open any document or any file and try printing, when you try printing you will be able to see the option of "Write to Cute PDF", this will give you the option of
Saving the document to PDF format.
After selecting the option you will get a save as dialog
This works great! Preserves the color, format, size and everything else you need.
