what's the name of the authoring tool for PDFs? are there many?
I would like to copy and paste in text and images to create PDF documents

thanks
 
Adobe Acrobat and all their other products have always been Mac friendly.
 
sorry, I made this thread out of frustration
all I need is an HTML to PDF convertor and I finally found a good freeware solution that actually works and doesn't output ugliness
 
I'd say that is cold Alyssa, but I saw your answer to that. And ya MACs run windblows now and better than ever!
 
Do a search on the web for "CutePDF", freeware that converts anything printable to a PDF document. How it works is it creates a "virtual" printer and adds it to your list of available printers. e.g. create a presentation in powerpoint, hit the print and choose the cutePDF printer. You are then prompted for a file name and location and that is it! Anything you can print you can create a PDF from.

If you want to go a bit further, do a search for "OPenOffice", freeware competetition for MS Office written by SUN Microsystems; apart from being fully compatible with MS Office, it also comes bundled with a PDF creator! (It is a rather large downlaod though.
 
There are a lot of shareware type programs out there for the PC, and I'd guess for Macs too.

Just google them and you should find a bunch.

Generally what you do is create a document in your normal manner, then you "print" it to a virtual printer, which is the program creating the PDFs.

What you get is the print image of your document, saved in PDF format.
 
I've been using cute pdf and it works great for all applications.

I haven't tried importing it into acrobat to see how the editing works however....
