Version: CutePDF Writer 2.8
"Good free product, works well."
Pros: Easy use, just print to CutePDF instead of a physical printer. Free! Format of created pdf's has been pretty good, some reformatting usually occurs, so it won't always look exactly like it does on-screen.
Cons: Program install requires a separate download & install of GPL Ghostscript. No auto-preview of the pdf created, have to manually open the new file. No option to change the resolution on-the-fly like PrimoPDF.
Summary: Good basic pdf creation utility for anything you can print. Good freeware utility!

Version: CutePDF Writer 2.8
Pros: I use Cute PDF Writer to save temporary work files to disk. Cute PDF gives me an easy way to print to file in a reliable format. I use it for the many receipts and posting files that really don't need to take up space in a filing cabinet.
Cons: I have no complaints.
Summary: Cute PDF Writer is a regular tool in my arsenal. It is right at the CTRL-P command all the time.
