How do I create a PDF file so I can email it?

The best solution I have found for creating PDF files with out going to the expense of purchasing Adobe Acrobat is to use a piece of software called cutePDF Writer. Rather than incorporating the creation of PDF files inside the RACES Logger application and only give you the ability to create PDF's from RACES Logger, cutePDF Writer will give you the ability to create PDF files from other applications on your computer as well. cutePDF Writer relies on GostScript to convert postscript files into PDF files. GostScript must be downloaded and installed first before cutePDF Writer.

How much does it cost?

What are the system requirements?
