Everyone has the free ADOBE PDF reader, but I need an Editor/writer.
I've had a look around but not much success.

Anyone have any links/suggestions as I need one quick.
(Preferably one that doesn't blaze the URL of the creator across all pages of the document)

Hi,
The cheapest way is to download Open Office, which is a free Open Source Office Suite. The "Writer" will open loads of different file formats and then there is a create pdf button in the toolbar menu.

www.openoffice.org/

Hope this helps

Could try Jaws pdf Creator and Jaws pdf Editor. Free to try, not a lot to buy.

Cheers

eta: Of course can you download Scribus now and start working with it immediately. It's open source software.
