    Nuance has all those feature too, and is cheaper than adobe.
  • PrimoPDF should do all you want. I think It's from the same stable as NitroPDF but I find it easier to work with (drag/drop files to convert & also works with AutoCAD)

    Tried the Bullzip one first and VERY miffed as it has downloaded 6 viruses on our computer. We have cleaned them off but internet explorer and firefox both have some weird thing on - babylon.com - that seems to be causing them to malfunction!

    Going to be much more careful about going with software download recommendations from this site in future. I assumed it would be safe as it was recommended but seemingly not !

    PrimoPDF is a great choice.

    I asked bullzip aboutviruses, have also asked the editor of the review site

    From Bullzip

    Hi Santer,

    We do not have any real reports of virus in our software. A couple of
    times in the last 8 years has our software tested positive because of an
    error in the filter of an antivirus software. However, it has been false
    alarms.

    Regards,
    Jacob

    https://www.openoffice.org

    Just like the newer Microshaft Orifice applications, it can save your docs directly to PDF format. It'll open and edit all your office docs too.

    It definitely looked like it came from Bullzip. My partner said it had Bullzip on the weird looking page including babylon.com. We have removed Bullzip and are trying to clean up the computer but might need to reformat the disc which is a right hassle. Pretty cross! I am always wary about downloads but will be even more wary in future.

    System restore to a date before the bullzip install could help

    If it does not, I will ask bullzip if they have a set of removal instructions

    Sorry that you got landed with this but the site which reviews software had it near the top of their list for PDF printers
