doPdf works well and supports many formats.

If you are looking to easily create professional PDF documents, I’d recommend this one: http://www.smartpdfcreator.com It is really quick and easy.
It would be great if you recommend some free versions. 🙂
I only use PrimoPDF, because I do not know any other free until I read this article 🙂
These programs are helpful, but I usually have the most problems in converting a pdf into word or some other format. I started using a software I found called Able2Doc to convert pdf’s into word and so far it works great. It has a free trial so anyone can test it out.
Had various difficulties viewing your website in Chrome on the Apple pc, nevertheless I still liked your website!
