looking for a PDF printer. Printer dialog will then print to PDF
I have found several but either they error, or they put a watermark or they just dont work.

Found an error that some PDF printer drivers dont like this line.
Printer.PaperBin = printDlg.PaperBin ' this line causes a 380 error with some PDF printer drivers
Anyway, I found this one works with no watermarks, doPDF 8.

hmmm pdf creator popped up an avast viral malware warning, now the installer is hung up.
seems to have halted the install.
Although it is installed the PDF printer, I suppose Avast halted the install of the 'additional bagage'
I just tested PDF creator in my program and it does work ok, like doPDF 8..
Bolt PDF works ok.

So far Bolt PDF, doPDF 8, PDF Creator (with caveats) are working ok with no watermarks.
I had to modify my program which a few were causing errors, a couple of them had issues with that particular printer property.
Sorry about the malware. I'm glad Avast caught it. I have an older version that I've never had an issue with. But I definitely won't be recommending it anymore if it ships with malware.
Good to know.

Apparently it is just the installer.
I verified PDF24, PDFCreator, Bullzip, doPDF8 all work ok.Warning: The PDFCreator installer is bundled with OpenCandy. See our information page here for more details.
PDF24, takes you to an insecure site according to Chrome browser.
I hate the way some of this freeware is bundled with crap like OpenCandy. It makes me not want to use any of it. The freeware/shareware producers are just harming their own products by doing this.
I won't upgrade ImgBurn for the same reason. I use an old version where the installer doesn't contain malware.
I have used Bullzip with W7 with no problems. My Adobe Standard also works well for printing to .pdf, although it defaults to color and I always have to go to the menu and choose black and white.
