I have a PDF conversion program from Docudesk that worked very well back in
the Windows XP days. Now I cannot convert MS word, Desktop Publisher, or
Excel files to PDF. Docudesk cannot seem to help me.
Any suggestions on how or where I can find a PDF program that will work?

CutePDF (free) works well with me - just a generic print driver. I tried out
loads of the free ones and failed to get any bit this one working. hope it
helps

If you are using Office 2007 you can download the Microsoft addin to save as
PDF or XPS, works extremely well.

Otherwise try Primo PDF Free, it currently is not designed for Vista, but we
found it works OK from Office 2003 with Vista.

Regards
Stuart

Not on her system apparently, which would put it back in her XP days.

I am a huge Vista fan, but I can name a few ways (not a quadrillion) XP is
better than Vista. 99% of them involve older hardware or programs. A lot of
people don't have a need to upgrade. They use their PC for email, web
browsing and word processing. That's it. They have an older Celeron 433 with
256 MB of RAM. Won't run Vista, and they have no reason to buy a brand new
computer. Sure, it's slow, but it gets the job done.

Or a company with a custom piece of software that won't run on Vista. XP is
the better choice if the software runs on it.

Other than that, Vista is a LOT better than XP. But, it's not for everyone.
It will eventually take over the majority of computers as people do upgrade
(although I still see some stubborn people running P-75's with Windows
95.... Ugg.). Of course, I can say Linux is better than Vista, and I'd be
right. It is a better OS for some things (a lot of scientific apps,
especially!). MacOS is better at other things. As a Vista fan, I won't
dismiss other OS's as being inferior, but I do believe that Vista is the
superior OS for what I use it for: games, word processing, programming
(Linux is good, but little gaming), web development (MacOS is good at this,
but little gaming). It's not so much the OS being superior, it's what you do
with it.

If XP is a quadrillion ways better than Vista, how come I can't use DX10?
That's what I want. So Vista > XP.
