    The Zipguy has been busy. Free PDF v0.95 Public Beta now offers:

  • Ability to create PDFs for free

  • Save PDF as.. capability

  • View PDF capability

  • 4 Time Saving Configuration Options

  • Configurable Converter and Viewer program locations using standard 'Open' file dialog boxes from the Configure Screen.

  • Improper number of paramters tolerance - If Free PDF is called without the required parameters, it displays what was passed, and gives you a button to allow you to browse and select the appropriate input PS file.

  • INI File usage and no reliance on the Registry

  • Easy Install (at least of Free PDF itself)

  • Easy UnInstall All Free PDF files are in one directory
    Simply delete the folder to remove

 Future Plans

Future Plans - The ZipGuy has some plans for new features and would appreciate feedback on which ones people want. Comments, ideas and suggestions are welcome. 
If you want some features send the ZipGuy an E-Mail and let him know.  
Your feedback will be a factor, and may influence development priorities.
