Microsoft offers free PDF/XPS add-in for Office

Office PDF and XPS add-in I don’t know if you remember reading a while back about Adobe suing Microsoft over including “save to PDF” functionality, but Microsoft has now released the “save to PDF/XPS” plug-in for the 2007 Office system as promised. XPS is a proprietary Microsoft spec (like PDF), in case you hadn’t heard. Save to PDF functionality is huge for me. I save so many things to PDF, usually with PDF creator (which works great), but it would be cool to have the ability right in Office. I am just glad that ole photoshop-feathers (Adobe) and money-monger (Microsoft) worked something out. To get the plug-in for Office (2007), you need to choose between the PDF only, XPS only, or PDF and XPS (both) version. Genuine validation is optional.
