[dba-Tech] Convert Word docs to pdf

Hi Susan,

I saw that others have already recommended CutePDF and PrimoPDF.  PDF995 
is another good freebie.  My scanner software upgrade gave me 
ScanSoftPDFCreate! which is also good - I think it came as part of my 
OmniPage upgrade.  I haven't explored this, yet, but I think the 
OmniPage will let me edit a PDF file.

I've recently run across a free graphics program, Inkscape, that will 
open and edit PDF files. 

Hope this helps,
T
