Re: How can one obtain a copy of Acrobat PDF Writer?: THANK YOU for your generous advice!!!
Hi All,
Thank you all for your useful information. (1) It was indeed useful to know that it is not possible to get the PDFWriter utility as a stand alone product, which is what I was wondering. (2) It was also useful to get information about a number of feasible, inexpensive products out there which I had not been aware of!
I will indeed pass on everyone's suggestions to the person who as inquiring.
To clarify an earlier inquiry, it is my understanding that the students use the MS Word application on the Windows 2000 platform.
Once again, A BIG THANK YOU to everyone for your generous advise and expertise! You're the best!
Best regards,
--David
