You might want to try Libre Office  I use it for all my pdf creation requirements. It's free and it's stable,

I use that too.  Works well and plays nice with both MS office and Adobe.  And like you said it's free.

converting pdfs back to Word text gives format and punctuationi problems.

 

I  have never liked the way MS office and PDF files "play" together. If memory serves, I believe there was an intellectual property spat between MS and Adobe that never really got worked out, so some things were intentionally left broken.

To simplify sending a whole batch of photos to friends, I have been incorporating them into pdf documents.  This posting is to indicate how I do it, obtain any criticism or suggestions you have, and possibly help you if my experiece is at all relevant to you,

With my Hebrew-English Microsoft Windows 7, and with both Fox Reader and Adobe available on my Fuhitsu-Siemens Esprimo laptop, I begin by inserting jpgs into a Word 97-2003 "doc."  I use this insead of the newer "docx" because for osme strange reason occasional jpgs show up on the insert at icon size and have to be expanded on the page.  In docx the sharpness of the original jpg is not restored with the expansion, but in doc it is restored completely.  After comopleting the document with all the photos, with or without captions and text, I convert it to a pdf, keeping the doc document if there is any chance I may wisih to add photos in the future.

I have also learned that using the memory feature to extract photos from either doc or docx word documens via Microsoft Paint Paste, does not preserve sharpness,  But doing so with Fox Readers "camera" from a pdf document does, with the resultant photo duplicating the original if the size on the pdf page is reasonably large.   So using pdfs is a wondeful way to preserve photographs without using a lot of hard-drive memory.  But for me converting pdfs back to Word text gives format and punctuationi problems.
