converting to PDF...

It's been quite a few years, but QuickBooks was very good at printing invoices and keeping business records.

Do you have a PDF printer driver? Or Adobe Acrobat (NOT the Reader)?

It's very simple to print-to-PDF ... I just pick my PDF printer driver (which XP sees as being just another printer), and print away.

I've been using PDF Driver

I have been using the free version from pdf995.com. What seems extra good to you about your paid for version? How much did it cost?

At the time, it was ~$24.95, but I think it's gone up.

The thing I needed, and couldn't find in any other product, was the option of using watermarks.

I used to use pdf995 but found it too annoying so I now use CutePDF. It is free and without any ads:

I use PDF995. Paid the $9.95 to get rid of the ads. CutePDF is free and I've seen no problems with it at all. Both install "printers" that generate PDF files when you "print" to them....

I use pdf995 also, but I paid the 10 bucks to own it. The one gotcha I've found is that often when printing multiple jobs, the buffer won't clear, and I'll get the previous job's output and current job combined into the the current print job. This forces me to look at the output PDF every time I print something. The price was great, and other than the one glitch it's an outstanding tool.

While I can use that feature from time to time to combine outputs, I don't have that problem.

Lacking any compelling reason to have to use PDF I decided to save the $10 and just use the HTML invoice that Quicken already does. I'm not into wasting money.... YMMV.

For some, converting to PDF, a business standard, isn't a waste of money.

To each, his own.

$10? Lacking the compelling reason for not having to use things, I have saved well over $250K in recent years ;)

I really didn?t like those programs very much, especially win2PDF?. I think you should all take a look at AutoEmailPDF ? or just go to

I think Grant this might be what your looking for

Well I?m not looking for just any PDF printer? I?m looking for something that can email out my pdf after they are printed.. I run a small business and a lot of my like having there invoices emailed out to customers.. I would like a PDF printer that has an email program build in or at least make s*it easier to email out, that?s all.

Thanks for all the help.

I?m going to take a look at some of the programs you guys have suggested.

If you have any more advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure any PDF printers will e-mail, directly.

How about saving your invoices as PDFs, then attaching them to your e-mails?

Take a look at ScanSoft's PaperPort 10. Any application can "write to" either a PaperPort color or b&w printer that produces a PDF file. PaperPort links to other apps, including email applications. It's a great product. I've been using it for years and have now given up using other PDF writers since PaperPort can write PDFs, scan to PDF, and files documents for easy retrieval. PP's ability to link to other apps is a plus.

Check it out:

And it only costs $34.95. I like the free programs myself.

All of the programs suggested will create the pdf file that can easily be attached to your e-mail message.

PDFCreator is a GNU Public license package that will do what you want. It uses other GNU software but at the end you print to a PDF and can immediately send it to your Email program as an attachment.
