Nuance PDF software. The folks that make Dragon Speaking Naturally Voice Recognition software. Runs around $80 and up depending on how fancy you want or need to get. I got version 5 years ago as an added benefit for buying DSN and hardly ever use it.



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

I have that and I use it all the time to combine PDF's from multipal report writing programs into one. HIP, MS Word and Thermal Imaging reports.

I have used CutePDF for the past 6 years witout a lick of trouble and its free. Make sure you select the free download and not purchase their "Pro" version.

Here's the link; http://www.cutepdf.com

Nuance PDF software works for me also!

I use it to compress reports which are in Words and it only takes seconds.

Abobe didn't work for me...

I think most of these will just make pdfs- a print driver that prints to PDF. I want to be able to open a pdf, make changes in texts and save it. will any of these do that?

Foxit PDF Editor will do it, but I forget how much it costs.
