Windows 7: Adobe PDF Print Driver

Adobe PDF Print Driver

At places where I have worked (XP systems), one of the printer choices was "Adobe PDF". When you print to it, it creates a PDF file. I beleive this driver came from Adobe. Is this driver free?

I would like to get this driver for my home Win 7 system but have not been able to find it. I have found similar drivers from other providers, but not Adobe. Some of these drivers require payment which leads me to believe Adobe does not give this away free.

Any info is apprecieated.

It isn't free. It's loaded when you install Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Thanks for the info. I don't wish to buy Acrobat Pro, I just need the PDF print driver so I can make PDF files. Does anyone have a recommendation for a third party PDF print driver that will do this?

Here's one from Microsoft that we use for Office 2007. Not sure if that helps...

This is a simple system, some software allows you convert almost all of the printable formats to PDF, and they achieve this purpose by creating a virtual printer and every time you print something through that you will be able to have a PDF file out of the print. This is used in Classic PDF and some other softwares as well, its a balance approach towards the PDF conversion because that makes it too easy for us to have the printing, and avoid load on software.

True
There is always limitation on free software.

BTW Ultraplanet is right, with MS Office 2007 SP1 and Office 2010 we can have our work "save as" a pdf
