How to make PDF files for FREE!

September 29, 2006 by Ian Brown No Comments

If you want to make PDF files, and you don’t feel like shelling out the dough for Adobe Acrobat, then you can download and install PDF995 (www.pdf995.com).

Go here, http://www.pdf995.com/download.html, and download and install the printer driver first, and then the Free converter. After both are installed, to create a PDF file, open up the file in Microsoft Word that you wish to convert into a PDF file, go to FILE>PRINT> and select PDF995 as the printer (at the top of the printer dialogue box). Then click OK to print it. It will come up with a screen where you just need to select “Continue with sponsored version”. It will then create a PDF file and save it in the same folder in which the original file that you opened up in Word is located.

You can also go to PrimoPDF. They have both a downloadable app and a free online service. You use the downloadable app the same way you use PDF995 (print the file, and then change the printer to the app). Check it out.
