Make PDF button in Printer Driver on Windows XP?

[Stuart Thiessen]

Using PDF in Open Office is very, very easy.  You just click a button 
on the main toolbar and it automatically exports the document to PDF.  
Very nice.

I prefer OpenOffice.org because it is opensource and for now it is the 
only wordprocessor program on the Windows platform that exports to PDF 
(that I know about).

Of course that PDFCreator that Steven mentioned might also work well. I 
haven't tried it.  I did try one other free program for PDF creation, 
but it only created graphical images of my pages and that made the PDF 
very large. I don't know if PDFCreator does that or not.

Thanks,

Stuart
