Help needed with PDF

[Getafix]

I am at a lost.

I have a massive project done on Corel Wordperfect.

15 000 files
1 300 folders
2GB

I want to convert it to pdf so that I can distribute it on DVD with Acrobat reader.

Acrobat 8 cant do Wordperfect files enmasse.

Please suggest some software. It will be appreciated.

This is the software I used to use when I was still using Windowze. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57796 .If I can remember correctly, it will create an extra printer for you. Open you Corel Project and print it, but be sure you choose the new PDF Creator printer.

Hope that helps.

Not sure if Scansoft Omnipage 15 Professional will do the job for you.

Thanks. It doesn't. Few programs like WP.

Unfortunately I started this during '98 when WP was still a huge player.

Thanks. I will download it and come back to you.

Isn't Adobe 9 out now.

Have you looked at the latest version of Wordperfect to see if it will solve your problem? It should work with a pdf printer option.

PDFFactory is pretty good.

Yes I did. It only handles one file at a time.

Found this shareware util.

I evaluated PDF converter tools recently and PDFFactory came out tops. It did an even better job than Adobe PDF in certain cases. You can convert Wordperfect files and there is a batch process available (sort of batch...)

Recent versions of WordPerfect do print/export directly to PDF. Of course, that means opening and exporting 15000 separate files...

pdfEDIT995 does batching

For day to day stuff Primo PDF kicks ass.

Adobe has been kicked to the curb, I now use Foxit reader for opening files.

For large jobs you should look at ABBYY software.

Why is it that windows was never able/allowed to integrate pdf's into the operating system like OsX? Everything - printing to pdf, automation, batches, conversion, etc - is all built in.

I myself use CutePDF cutewriter. I's like 1.6MB, free, and incredibly simple. You just print to the cutePDF device, and it creates a perfect PDF file.
