neat! But surely there’s got to be a catch. (There’s always a catch!)

I thought so too. And then I looooooked, and I loooooooked, and, no catch!

Ah, the multiple vowel rule comes into play. Any over-emphasis of a word with over three repeating vowels must therefore be true. *sudden realisation at how stupid the previous sentence is* but overriding need to amuse takes hold..
..I’m guessing that Adobe have allowed Go2PDF because the coding is not robust enough for general corporate purchase? I mean, you can’t compete with ‘free’ – can you?

Well, if you want to call this a catch (and some folks are telling me they would), than it’s a catch. You do see a teensy one-line message at the bottom of each page urging you to buy the full-scale product, Virtual PDF Printer. It’s very, very tiny. Maybe that’s why Adobe doesn’t give the proverbial crap. Theirs doesn’t have advertising, and companies wouldn’t want some other company’s advertising at the bottom of their PDF. For personal use, I think it’s just fine and dandy.
