I’m super late to this party, but I just got to this page from Google and I thought I would chime in with the “print to pdf” functionality of NitroPdf (can even print to pdf from inside NitroPdf).

I use it as default because of the excellent integration with Evernote but this is another reason to use it.

Although, not as conveient to use, you can also you the printing capabilities from the OS (I know this works under Linux and OS X). Just print the pages you want to PDF from the initial PDF file.

Thanks. I’m not aware of any compatibility difficulties.

I’m really loving the theme/design of your web web site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility difficulties? A number of my weblog readers have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks fantastic in Opera. Do you might have any solutions to assist fix this problem?

I noticed the loss of word search functionality when using pdfcreator (didn’t try pdftk though)

pdftk specifics; to delete the first page:

pdftk original.pdf cat 2-end out new.pdf

(Still a little boggled at syntax like “cat 2-end out”.)

Excellent solution! I used this idea in CutePDF as well, and it worked a treat.

Thank you for this tip. I knew there had to be a way aside from buying Acrobat Pro!

I’ve used PDFCreator for some time now (it’s basically a wrapper around GhostScript and RedMon, which you used to have to install manually.) It works great.

I recently came across the PDFTK, for a similar task. I can recommend it, as well.

Linux has the print to PDF/PS (PDF being a cut-down postscript) options, as well; plus OpenOffice prints to PDF natively.

And just for completeness, Mac OSX comes built in with “Save as PDF” on the print dialogue, and with the ability to delete pages and re-save a PDF in the Preview app.

You might also want to have a look at PDFill PDF Tools. Works well for me.

Thanks, Gappy, that’s good to know. Pdftk is the kind of thing I was looking for but I ran across PDFCreator first.

John,
should you need to go beyond the task you mentioned, may I recommend pdftk (http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk). It merges, splits, rotates, repairs etc. I used it. Recommended.
