It's free, but basically adware. When you print something it opens a web browser window with a "visit our sponsors" kind of link. But honestly, it never annoyed me, and it's well worth the features. It's also worth pointing out that <a href="http://www.openoffice.org" rel="nofollow">OpenOffice</a> (an Open Source [free] MS Office replacement) has native PDF export built into it! There was another free PDF printer application I've used before, but I can't remember what it was. I had replaced it with the PDF995 software.
