Looking for a free pdf converter
Hello,
I'm looking for a free pdf converter. I should be able to convert Word and Excel files to pdf(and preferably also vice-versa). Please suggest one! Thanks!
It should also allow me to just create a sheet or 2 in Excel instead of the entire Excel Workbook into pdf.

Don't they have the option to export to PDF in both of those programs?

http://www.primopdf.com/ can convert from anything to a PDF, so long as you can print from the software. I've used it to make PDFs out of Word and Excel documents.
If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.

PDFCreator should do the job:

It installs as a virtual printer, so you can print anything to PDF.Scott Burns, President

I second openoffice. It has free built in PDF exporting that works great from any format. I use it to turn documents into PDF proposals, etc.
