Hi Nobby, welcome to the peaceful retreat that is CricketMX :lol:
That looks like a good utility, I stupidly purchased an old copy of Acrobat to do the same job a while back, :x

You can also do it with RoboPDF (not free, costs around $50, development discontinued 2004). Or use OpenOffice instead of ms office. PDF file creation is standard in OpenOffice and .... it's FREEEEEEE. :)

Ello again,

I have now installed and tried PrimoPDF. It seems pretty good. It has the annoying habit of opening acrobat reader as soon as you save a new file. I don't need to immediately view all pdf files as I make them and can't find a way to turn that off. Still, a nice product. In the attachment (warning, size about 320KB), you'll see what it made of the CMX index page when I was looking at it just now. It seems fairly accurate, except for the lack of background colours.
