7.4 Printing PDF Documents with PDFCreator
You’ve written great user guides and design documents for your software, but you’d rather not deliver them in Word format. You may not want to worry about versioning issues with Word, deliver documents that can be edited in Word, or rely on your customers having access to Word.

PDFCreator is a great solution for this problem. PDFCreator installs as a printing device, so you can create PDF files from any application simply by printing your content. PDFCreator will even let you combine documents into one PDF file, and it gives you the ability to print to a number of different graphics formats.
