Alternative to Adobe Acrobat

If you only have Adobe Reader and want an alternative to Adobe Acrobat, you can be sure that PDFCreator from PDFforge will allow you to print any document into pdf format. The program installs as a virtual printer so you can print anything to a pdf so you can save the file or email it.  The virtual printer is very handy when you quickly need to archive a document to your computer, or when you want to save it for later printing to your conventional printer.  It comes with an optional toolbar for web searching and for instantly converting web pages to pdf format, which comes in very handy when surfing online. The program also allows you to individually select files and convert them into pdf.

OpenOffice

You can’t live without Word, Excel or Powerpoint, but don’t have the money to buy the most recent Window’s Office… Don’t worry you have alternatives. Open source is your solution. Open source is the term used for programs that are freely distributed and developed. This means is that there are no costs for licenses and there are fewer legal risks. What does this mean to you…that it is free! You are not required to pay in order to download the programs, nor to renew their license, nor to receive updates, and yes, it is completely legal to use this software.

Without you even knowing it, you may already have used open source programs when checking your email or visiting some Internet sites.

Your best alternative for Word, Excel or Powerpoint is OpenOffice.
