The CC PDF converter (beta) is a free (open source) application that enables you to create PDF documents from almost any application (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer and more).
The CC PDF Converter also allows you to easily embed a creative commons license in your PDF file.
If you want the contents of your PDF document to remain a secret, then a creative commons license is a bad idea. This is because publishing your PDF under a Creative Commons license allows colleagues, bloggers, social media sites and even newspapers to republish your work and create new content based on it as long as they clearly state that you are the creator.
Thus, your projects get spread around much faster and you still retain the credit for it.
If you want to be able to profit from your PDF content and still use the Internet's amazing ability to spread free-content, you can publish your work under a Non-Commercial Creative Commons license.
This way, when your work becomes popular and commercial entities want to use it, they have to get your permission (and hopefully pay for it).
Source code for the CC PDF Converter is available as a zip file here, or browse through it here.
The code is written in C++, and includes project files for Microsoft Visual Studio 6. Additional source files for libraries used to compile the source are needed from different locations; the links to those sites are detailed in the 'Building.txt' file that can be found in the archive.
