This is true, but by Apple's own admission the Quartz PDF renderer (or whatever they call it) doesn't product publication-quality PDF. If you need PDFX or whatnot, it's not the way to go, but it's fine for screen reading. Implemented as a 'print to PDF' feature in the print dialog of all apps. -- Steve

If any of you guys use Live Cycle Designer like I do to make dynamic forms, you
won't get that with any PDF Creator, only with Acrobat Pro. (Just sayin')

Thanks for the list! It will help me during my evaluations soon. An addition to
your list:
"easyPDF" from BCL Technologies ($29.95)
http://www.pdfonline.com/easypdf/pdf-printer/
And I think, but not sure, that Pdf995 costs ($9.95) to get "without a sponsor

RE: PDF and Alternatives to Acrobat [WAS Re: Where on Adobe is the info/link to renew my maintenance contract for FrameMaker?]
The key question to ask about these is do they support pdfMark PostScript
commands. This is the technology that FrameMaker uses to get bookmarks,
links, etc. in their PDFs. If you can't get these from the other tools, it
would be a serious limitation in my opinion.

PDF and Alternatives to Acrobat [WAS Re: Where on Adobe is the info/link to renew my maintenance contract for FrameMaker?]
The key question to ask about these is do they support pdfMark PostScript
commands. This is the technology that FrameMaker uses to get bookmarks,
links, etc. in their PDFs. If you can't get these from the other tools, it
would be a serious limitation in my opinion.
