Mark,

I have downloaded and used PaperlessPrinter.

Previously I have used CutePDF and PDFCreator - which both work well.

I was attracted to PaperlessPrinter because you can also output to JPG and
BMP file format. It also offers more control over the PDF file than CutePDF.

I have only used PaperlessPrinter a few times. It produced the PDF files
exactly as I expected and these files can be read by the Foxit PDF Reader
(Foxit is my preferred PDF file reader - it is much quicker to load and it
renders files more quickly than the Adobe offering).

I am annoyed, however, by the nag screens that PaperlessPrinter throws up
every time I use it. Can these be turned off?

Andrew

Has anyone tried PaperlessPrinter out?

I just downloaded from the link below and tried to create a PDF version of
my 17 page Word document. The output was only 20kb and was corrupt according
to Adobe PDF Viewer.

I'm also a little concerned that twice during the "printing" process the
application accessed the Internet. That might be innocuous (eg upgrade
checking) or it might be spyware or worse. My virus/spyware software hasn't
objected though, so I presume its ok.
