I tried to buy into Adobe, so I could size my files to smaller pages, but I don't use credit cards, so I couldn't do it. Cute and one other free program sets them 8.5 - 11, and don't allow the resizing I want, as I understand the instructions. Does anybody know how I can get a complete PDF program without a credit card?
what do you mean sizing? font?
Cute creates pages that are 8 1/2 by 11. I want them something like 6 by 9, but can't get them.
Why don't you go to a store that sells software? You can pay for the program in cash, or wriite a check.
Oh. I didn't even think to look there. Thanks, Phoenix and Husker.
I can't stand the extra money it costs to use credit cards. I buy quite a bit with my bank atm card and also use Paypal.
Well, some of us are not that good with their money. If I'm in a tight spot, I don't want the temptation to spend my way out with a credit card, which I know I would do.
Before you spend any money take a look at "FinePrint".
When you install the software it sets itself up as a print driver. To convert your files to PDF you just open them and hit the "Print" button and select the FinePrint printer and click "OK". It will create a PDF file (you can select from a dozen or so predefined sizes or you can set any custom size you want!) and you just save the PDF file to your hard drive.
The demo version is free. It will add a link to the company WWW site at the bottom of each PDF page though. Otherwise there are no limitations. I you can tolerate that then why spend money.

That one little glitch, their information at the bottom makes it impossible to use. But for that, it sounds wonderful. And, I really don't mind spending the money, but was complaining about them not accepting Paypal or a money order.
PrimoPDF is also free and does not have any limitations or watermarks.
I downloaded Primo, but couldn't find a way to make the pages the size I want.
