From: Mike Dee on 6 Feb 2010 05:10 Just DL'd TinyPDF. It's also linked to in section <http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_TEXT.php#2.02ConvertTextToPDF (andimages)> ...as a Freeware. On the web page it says for TinyPDF: "Freeware. No strings attached." OK, DL'd and it goes and installs itself as: "MagicPDF Pro"!!! Worse, every page it produces has *UNREGISTERED* plastered over it. Worse still... try and register and it wants $50 to do so... :-P It *still* clearly states on the TinyPDF site that the software is free to use without any restriction. Damn damn and damn!!!!!! -- dee

I went to what I thought the web page was after typing tinypdf in a Google search box. I could not find anywhere to actually download the file from. There was a download page but I could not find n actual link. On the page it lists this: Software Version: 1.0.2195 | File Size: 600,866 bytes | Release Date: Sep 16, 2007 Did the file you downloaded match the above? I might have a copy at work if you are interested. I have since switched back to CutePDF. -- Frank Hahn

It's been a while so I forget which or, whether it's an opt-in or opt-out. Either way, just take your time during install & it'll be obvious. hth, -- -Craig |
