The software installs as a printer driver. Just Print your document and it
becomes a PDF file.

Does it use ghostscript to do the convert?

You download two programs, pdf995 and ps2pdf995, i guess the second program
converts the printer postscriptfile to pdf.

Does this software cause popups, etc to show up promoting their sw?

I ask this only because the least hassle way I have found to print PDF's
from Pro-E is to save to a ps (postscript) file from pro-e in the plot
dir, and then convert to pdf using ghostscript (ps2pdf)

yes it does have pop-ups, but you can purchase a single copy for 9.95 that
doesn't have them. They also have quantity discounts.

This requires the ghostscript , but installs a pdf printer that has no
popups watermarks and is free for user and commercial use.

CutePDF Writer is freeware without pop-ups or watermarks. It uses the
Ghostscript converter but saves you a few steps. If you don't have
Ghostscript installed it gives you the option to download and install.

I've never used CutePDF personally, but I seen good comments.

At work I use PDF Factory ($).

At home I use a dummy PS printer to "print" a PS file, then use
Ghostscript to convert to PDF. If I made a lot of PDF files at home
I'd probably go ahead and get CutePDF.
