'Cute PDF Writer' is a printer subsystem that allows you to print various documents to PDF (Adobe Portable Document Format).

The program is very simple to install and use. It doesn't have a graphical user interface, so there's no need to configure it. Just install it by following the steps of the setup wizard and you're ready to create PDF files. Since this is a virtual printer driver, you don't need to install extra converters or Office components to create the PDF files.

I tried to print to PDF a large variety of files, like text files, Office documents, graphic files, presentations, table files (MS Excel, OpenOffice.org Calc). The virtual printer performed the selected tasks flawlessly.

b>Pluses: The program is free for home and commercial use. You can customize the output resolution, quality settings, predefined page size, etc.
