What's the best alternative to Adobe Acrobat

What's the best alternative to Adobe Acrobat

Postby utiler » Fri May 11, 2012 2:17 am

Guys, what is the best alternative for Acrobat as a convertor and compiler of PDF's? Don't mind paying for it for decent features; Acrobat is just to expensive for what I need....

PDF Printer: CutePDF.
PDF compiler: PDF SAM.
PDF Reader: Foxit.

You can also get PDF output directly, without anything else, from OpenOffice, Inkscape, DraftSight, Google Chrome and more.

I like the PDFill tools.
http://www.pdfill.com/pdf_tools_free.html

It is free and easy to use. And if you need an editor you can purchase theirs for $20. Our office has Acrobat but I still use PDFill.

PDF-XChange Viewer is quite fantastic. Free.

I use PDFCreator to "print" into pdf files. But indeed OpenOffice can nicely export to pdf too.

fast and small reader: SumatraPDF
A picture is worth a 1000 words. A 3D SketchUp model is worth a (1e3)^2 words?!
