Sharing files across different users isn't always so easy, particularly if you're using the latest version of Microsoft Office and other users are running Mac OS X or use and old Lotus Notes for their office work. If you want to place a document on your website, what format do you choose? If it's a single page, you could convert to an image and you'd be reassured that nearly any computer can open a JPEG or GIF image. However, if they print this file the result will be terrible. If it's a multi-page document, an image isn't even an option.

Bullzip PDF Printer 6 is free PDF creation software that enables you to output from just about any Windows application as a PDF document. The result is a file that's suitable for displaying on your website or for commercial printing (at the right resolution). The snag is that it's based around Ghostscript, unlike doPDF which is self-contained.
