That PDF printer that doesn’t suck

Yesterday we arrived at Bo for game, only to find that his entire family had descended upon his aerie, and his mother and sister had taken over his computer to produce some intricate catalog for a collection of exotic antiques collected painstakingly from the darkest corners of war-torn Africa, in that desktop publishing solution of champions, Microsoft Word.
Much anxiety permeated the room, as we waited for them to go away so we could get about our business and play, while they struggled with the logistics of what they were doing, and Bo writhed in the anguish of having someone else sitting at his computer.
Then I suggested that Bo save their catalog as PDF to help them, but Bo didn’t have an available thingie for that; Israel said “OpenOffice“, Bo’s sister talked on the phone to her husband who suggested Acrobat, and I recalled I had a splendid PDF printer driver, that was available somewhere on SourceForge. Searching SourceForge was worse then useless, googling turned up a lot of commercial shills and ghostscript-dependant (seperate download) POSs. If only I could recall the exact name – was it called PDF Writer? PDF Printer?

No, damn it, it’s PDFCreator. It’s a fine piece of software that should be on every l33t personpower user‘s PC. But even computers can’t think straight in such clouds of anxiety.
