Save any file or screen image as PDF

 
Cute PDF Writer   (link)
This program does not work with Vista 64bit.  It does not give a choice of where to save the file or where the saved file goes.
This handy and free program allows you to save anything on your screen as a pdf document.   To use it, either highlight what you want and choose print or print the whole document.  Cute PDF writer will be a printer choice.  I am typing this in Word, but will choose Cute PDF writer as the “printer”.  It will ask me where I want to print (save) the document.  You have to make your own choice there.  Click the link above to see this document created in Word and printed as a pdf file.  It is also nice to be able to share a file with someone who does not have the same program  you used to create it.
I also use this to highlight a part of a website screen, choose print, and selection.
That way I get mostly just what I want.
For the download go to www.cutepdf.com  Choose PDF creation, then Cute PDF writer (freeware). (Next Screen) In the left column is the download link.  You also need to download the converter file.
This is not the only free PDF free software available
For Win7 64bit,  Bullzip pdf printer works well.   www.bullzip.com   It is also free.
