(I am Queen of Dumbness*Is that a word?? it is according to my spell checker thing for the net...) all lower Dummies bow down before me!!!) I just looked... if it is in some Microsoft 2007 program it is not on Word... it has a lot of different file types... ( I only got it yesterday) (It doesn't include front page... but have Dreamweaver 8 on so its ok) I was going to say "if you tell me what a PDF is I could look it up in Microsoft Office…" and it was only UNTIL I had read Rich's post Twice and everybody else comments I realised what a PDF is… (I am Queen of Dumbness*Is that a word?? it is according to my spell checker thing for the net…) all lower Dummies bow down before me!!!)

But I don't think I can actually edit PDF documents that easily, I need Acrobat for that then. OSX has print to PDF build in every program, that's nice.

I like that CutePDF will allow you to save to PDF from any program that prints. Adobe Distiller has a few extra features but we've never needed them. If we ever had to encrypt or password protect a PDF I could do it with pdftk. I used OpenOffice when I was between jobs about three years ago and it had "save as PDF" in the file menu.

Or did they get rid of the 'save as PDF' feature right away too? I've heard something about it being ripped out and offered as an add-on or so, due to Adobe's insane prices. I wonder how on earth PDF could've made it as a standard to begin with.. we need an open-source variant people! Does the new Office '07 have any PDF editing features yet?
