Can anybody recommend a good print to pdf program? I'm curious because I want to be able to make a few papercrafts into pdf, so I can print them scalable without having to use viewer.

So, yeah, it has to make them scalable, and not just jpg-pdfs, which to me are near pointless, aside from making multiple images/pages one file.

Or you can download a freeware print to pdf program like PDF995 on your computer. I've tried it on 2 computers with Windows XP, and it works well on both of them.

That makes no sense.

Thanks you, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Actually, this isn't what I was looking for, it doesn't make them scalable pdfs. It just makes them whatever resolution you tell it to "print" at.

Is there even a such thing as a pdo to pdf converter?

I notice it's over 100 MB, and I'm running low on HDD space, what does it do for me?

Open Office is freeware created by Sun Microsystems. You may know them better for their Java Applet. Open Office is an answer to anyone who wants something like Microsoft Works Suite or Microsoft Office without shelling out the cash for it.

I don't think there's such a thing as a .pdo to .pdf converter, because there's only a small niche market for it. Well, at least not the kind of one you seem to be looking for.

When you say scalable pdf, are you looking for a pdf that can be scaled on your computer, or one that scales itself to fit to page when printing? It would be nice to know what OS you're on as well.

WinXP Pro, and what I mean is a pdf that can be zoomed into infinitely, to get clean lines no matter how big you make it. Basically like an svg.

Hmmm. I know that when I export PDF files from Photoshop that it allows for zip and jpeg compression, and both of those file types end up with the pixelation eventually, but I do know what you're talking about. The PDF I'm uploading is a good example of what I think you're looking for.

Then you need a converter that conserves VECTOR format, and I think most converters convert VECTOR images into RASTER images when converting.
I think you need to MAKE the papercraft originally in VECTOR format in pdf form to achieve what you want.

Can any of these can do .svg and .pdo?

I'm not just looking to print, I want to get these into pdfs so I can share them with friends who can't install pepkura viewer. Basically, I just want to make the files more universal.

Many (most? I dunno) pdf creating programs work as follows: you install the pdf creating software, then you open the file you want to make into a pdf in the program you normally open it with (so in this case, a pdo with pepakura designer). Then you choose print, but instead of choosing your ink printer to print on paper, you select the "pdf printer" and then when you click "print" it will ask you a name to save the "print" on your computer as a pdf. Hope I explained it a little comprehensively...
