I needed to send a filled form for review. Some fillable PDF's are stupid -they won't let you save the form data. So I printed it to a file - as an XPS. This is on Vista.

The reviewer didn't like XPS. Presumably, she is not very technically savvy. Now I needed to create a PDF. I figured it should be easy.

1. Open File
2. Print -> Print to OneNote
3. In OneNote, Save As PDF.
4. Voila!

Err.... Nope. It won't work on 64 bit OS. Because Microsoft Document Imaging that provides the OneNote print driver is not yet available on x64 :-(

I tried a few other things. Installed Aladin Ghostscipt to try using ps2pdf. The idea was to print using a regular postscript printer driver to a file. Network problems at work and other random occurances kept me from doing this cleanly, and it was all just a pain.

Then a colleague pointed me to PrimoPDF. It worked like a charm. Supports printing documents as PDF, and also supports x64 printer driver.
