Hi,

We have recently purchased Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 version however this does not include a pdf creator.

How can we download a pdf creator for free? We are simply after the typical application where you have a "pdf creator" as one of your printers.

Also, can adobe pdf creator be downloaded for free or only the windows one?

    In Word 2010 and other Office applications, click on the File tab and then on Save & Send and then on Create PDF/XPS Document

    -- Hope this helps.

    The Save as PDF option is built into Office 2010, and I can't find any

    indication that it has been omitted from HSE. See

    or

    for instructions.

    That helps for Word, but I am looking for a PDF printer so I can print anything to pdf - a webpage, email, etc.  I have found many of the free downloads mentioned above, but just wondering if they are safe.  Any feedback on that?  I just bought a new computer so I don't want to load it up with garbage or something that's going to give me a bug.  I heard good things about bullzip, but need ghostscript; I don't know if I have that. 

    Here's are two free ones that are good:
