print to pdf

Quicken 2001 has a problem printing when installed on Vista (which is the combination that Lloyd wound up with when he bought a new laptop to replace his old one when the hard drive crashed).

One suggestion was to print to a pdf file then print the pdf file. So I tried a couple of pdf programs.

The first one was PDF Redirect which gives itself good reviews on its website. It worked on Vista (on Word for example) though the interface didn't seem too simple. But Quicken errored when trying to print.

From the PDF Redirect, I saw that CutePDF was one its competitors. It seemed simpler to use which is a plus in my book. It worked on Vista, but Quicken again errored when trying to print on it.

It seems that Scansoft PDF Create might work, but it ain't free. OK never mind. Lloyd must live with the problem (or go back to XP).
