Print-to-PDF software?
Anyone here use print-to-PDF software? So that instead of a physical paper printer, you "print" to a PDF file?

I almost never need to actually print something, to the point where my printer is stowed in a closet 99% of the time (or I'll print whatever it is at work), but not having a printer connected gets to be problematic if I need to "print preview" something, etc.

So... what software should I be using? What's the best free software to do this?
As I was going down the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today; I wish I wish he'd go away.

Best Free one I've found is :BullZip.com - Free PDF Printer

But I prefer the Actobat printer (paid).

I use doPDF but both the other suggestions have come highly recommended to me as well.
