It's not open-source, but it's freeware and doesn't show any advertisements <em>(unlike PDF995)</em>. Those of you who get confused by all these Ghostscript and 128 bit options will certainly like the easy-to-use interface. <strong>Screenshot:</strong> http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/9076/pdfredirectog4.png <strong>Website:</strong> http://www.exp-systems.com/ (make sure that you choose the free version) I prefer PDF Redirect.

Not sure, I have only tried it on XP and besides for that I only have Vista RC2.

True, but for those people who only use Microsoft Office this is a slightly better solution than installing a whole other Office Suite.
