I've done this, but I still get the "Register Now" nag. Pressing clears the nag, but it's awfully irritating. Is there a way of disabling it?

OK managed to get a register code; use it once and hey presto away you go. BUT the code is written o a local gsview.ini which also incorporates named drive letters. Move your USB stick to another host machine where it will very likely be named differently and gsview.ini is suddenly broken -- you have to supply the reg code again. Very VERY annoying; not true portable freeware, at all ...

Setup is a bit more tricky then running a self-extracting executable, and dumping Ghostscript in the same folder. Here's what I had to do: |

That's weird that it doesn't work. Anyway, PDF X-Change (which I recommend) and X-PDFsam will both handle that. |
PDFTK is a command-line based tool for merging, splitting, encrypting, decrypting, compressing, decompressing and repairing PDF documents. GUI for PDFTK provides a graphical frontend for PDFTK.
Note: Under Windows XP, the program will report "The pipe has ended" after processing the PDF document. This is not an error! It indicates successful operation.

I much prefer PDFtk Builder v. 2.35 as a GUI for PDFtk. It's about half the size of GUI for PDFtk and I find it more functional (for example for reordering pages in a pdf).

Lousy program. Leaves a white margin around around every image, regardless of the margin and/or paper size settings. Also, it doesn't properly set the page size, so each page looks like a thumbnail image. |
PDF2EXE converts any PDF file to EXE, making PDF readable on any computer without PDF reading software. The conversion from PDF to EXE preserves the look and feel of the original document and includes optional compression. Note that PDF2EXE is based on Cool PDF Reader, which has attracted some comments disparaging the quality of its rendering engine. If you don't like Cool PDF Reader, you will probably want to give this a miss as well.
PDF2EXE also contains security features such as encryption of the shared PDF to help prevent modification, as well as disabling printing and image conversion.

Free PDF readers (Adobe's or otherwise) are so common and easy to obtain that I'm wondering how necessary it is to offer an alternative format, especially one that wouldn't work on Macs or Linux systems. If I knew for sure that my audience were all Windows users, I guess I might consider distributing .EXE files, but if it were up to me I'd prefer that everyone just had some kind of PDF reader.

12/01/09: PDF2EXE is shareware (not freeware) as states the website.
