I had adobe acrobat 4.0 (writer) on my computer and today I messed up pretty bad and now I can't make a PDF file anymore, wich I need to do badly. It wasn't working well with my Word and I copied the files to my other harddrive because I wanted to uninstall the whole thing in order to reïnstall it again.(I don't have the disc anymore) But...the copying didn't go well and I discovered that after uninstalling 4.0, I can't set it up again. I still have the files and the program opens, but some files are missing wich are needed in order to set up the PDF printer. I've managed to retrieve the PDFWritr.drv and the PDDWLIB.dll and the PDFWIN32.dll, but the one I'm missing is PDFhlp.hlp Any tech guy or girl out there who is able to help me out on this? I need to send my foto/poetry booklet to the printer's office and they aquire I put it in a PDF file, but as it seems, I'm stuck here and my exhibition is at the end of the month. I'm getting quite nervous, because it's not a program one goes out and buy, is it. So if anyone has this file or has any idea how I can make PDF files in another way (a more less expensive program?) I will be very grateful. A very stressed Dutchie here.  Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Have you tried going to Adobe's website and looking for the file you need? I found this but I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for. I will keep searching and if I come up with an answer I will be back. Good luck with your search. Also you may want to look at these web sites Gymnast (Text to PDF converter) http://www.oakworth.demon.co.uk/gymnast.htm HTML doc (HTML to PDF converter) http://www.oakworth.demon.co.uk/gymnast.htm PDF-o-Matic (HTML to PDF converter) http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/pdf-o-matic.php PrintToPDF (Shareware for the Mac) http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html I've never used any of these so I can't vouch for their ease of use or anything, but they are supposedly freeware. |

Jeffrey, thanks, but yes I've tried them all and they download perfectly, but not that specific file. Those files are needed to set up the PDF printer wicht got removed when I uninstalled the program. And yes, I'm a dumm Dutchie doing that. Thanks for your support pal.

Thanks again Jeffrey, that's a good site. I signed in and I'm sure I will find something. Didn't know there were so many other programs to write PDF files with. Much cheaper than Adobe. Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Hi Titia, Your thread got my interest. I need to create pdf files too but can't justify the cost for Adobe. A little google searching found one that I downloaded and tried. It looks pretty good so far. Click win2pdf to download the trial copy. It has a little nagging reminder and adds a page at the end of the document. The cost to register is $35 USD if you like it.

I didnt really have a whole lot to add, here's one where the reviews are quite good, and its only $99 for the piece. I know thats not free, but nothing any good is. Hope this helps. |

Just my bad luck! I finally found a good one, DocucomPDF writer, costs $49, works very well, but in the trial version there's a watermerk in all pages, so I can't use the trial. I decided to buy the full version, because it was not too expensive (very cheap compared to Adobe)and they had this digital key wich would change my trial into full. Everything went well and then I got the message that my order had been flagged for manual review, wich takes a few days. There was this line saying that if I needed the program sooner, I should write to them why. I immediately send them an email, that I understood their purpose of manual reviewing completely, but that I was getting very nervous here, because my exhibition is in 3 weeks time. Hope they'll understand. It's a great site Jeffrey, thanks again for finding it for me. Not a poet, visit the site, there's lots and lots to see and read about PDF. Sunshine, you're a darling, but I think I stick with the one I've found now. Fagin, you forgot to put the link in LOL Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Thanks to all for your support. The people of Zeon Corporation http://www.planetpdf.com/webexpo/exhibitor.aspx?exhibitorId=90 were very coöperative and handled my application within a few hours. I got such nice advice from them and if the program wasn't doing what I needed, they were altogether willing to change programs. Isn't that something? So, if anyone needs a PDF driver, go there. Never encountered an internet company with so much care for their customers. Thanks again Jeffrey for finding planetPDF. And thanks all for supporting me the way you did in Passions way. I love you all. Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |
