You are right. There are several free PDF creation programs that are set up like printer drivers. I still don't get linking PDF's to Legacy if they cannot be printed in Legacy reports. Is this just a way to find your source document?

I have downloaded huge .pdf files that contain readable 400+ page books with pictures. With the free Adobe Reader it can be read on many different types of computers (Mac, Microsoft. Etc.). It cannot be changed by anything but the full Adobe Acrobat and only when unlocked. Legacy does not currently recognize .pdf files. You can only attach them as a sound file. Why you would want to do this I do not know.] PDF's can be changed by any pdf editor. I use Zeon's DocuCom Plus, way more economical than Adobe Acrobat, and can do most of the same things when it comes to editing. They also have a version called PDF Gold which includes a pdf print driver, but I don't need it because I have two that cost nothing. PDF Creator and another one whose name slips my mind. Since most of my Master Sources exist as pdf, I can link them into "pictures" as sound files (Legacy IS going to fix this) and open them directly from there.
