Recommend a PDF Creater with Zero Install?

Can anyone recommend a PDF Creater with zero-install for use with MS Office?

I like Primo PDF, it's a print driver - so you can create in Word as normal and just print it PDF. - http://www.primopdf.com/

//Edit - notice you said zero install, maybe try Google Docs, or something like http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf/

Another alternative to Primo is CutePDF (which is basically a print driver interface for PS2PDF). But that requires installation, so probably isn't what you want.

If you're looking for something to work with Office, I would point out that Office 2007 has this addon available (which to my knowledge is supposed to be included in Office 2007 SP2). That might be your best bet. There's no equivalent for Office 2003, unfortunately.

(Not directly relevant to thread but may also be useful - the Sun Office ODF Plugin lets you save .odt files in Office)

Thanks guys

I'm going to try OpenOffice Portable - It has a Save as PDF option.

I have the Save as PDF option in Excel, but whatever version is installed on my machine in work has problems with scaling graphics and graphs. What looks perfect in Print Preview is not scaled to fit at all when saved as PDF resulting in truncation of the page!

when googling stuff that you want to use with out installing try adding standalone or portable to the search
