Following 's request (other than the two you named) and 's search tip, here are a few reliable, free options and practical notes to save time and trouble on older Windows systems.

Recommended tools (general purpose):

  • PDFCreator — full-featured virtual printer with options for profiles, encryption and merging.
  • CutePDF — lightweight virtual printer often paired with a PostScript-to-PDF backend.
  • doPDF — simple, no-frills PDF printer.
  • OpenOffice — direct Export to PDF from the suite (no printer driver needed).

Quick install and compatibility tips:

  • Check each product's system requirements before installing; many current builds need Windows 2000/XP or later. If you must stay on 9x/Me, look for legacy/older installers from the vendor’s download archives.
  • Choose a custom install and opt out of bundled extras or toolbars. Test on a small file first.
  • Some printers require a PostScript-to-PDF backend (Ghostscript). Install that first if the printer asks for it.
  • If installers fail on 9x/Me, create PDFs on another machine or in a VM, or use OpenOffice on the old box to export PDFs directly.

These pointers complement ’s suggestion to search broadly — they prioritize tools that are widely used and safe to install when you follow the precautions above.
