I often get asked if there is a FREE tool for creating PDF versions of Word files. Or any MS Office files for that matter!
So, here is a roundup of some of the best freeware and shareware products our there.
1. PDF Creator: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
This works like a printer in Windows. In other words, you do File Print select the PDF driver and then print your PDF file.
2. CutePDF from http://www.cutepdf.com is also freeware and works exceptionally well.
3. PDF Viewers
You can get free Word and Excel viewers so people don’t even need PDF Readers
Try http://www.microsoft.com/office/000/viewers.asp
4. PDF995
Another free PDF converter for Word and Excel is at http://www.pdf995.com/
5. Open Office
OpenOffice can handle Word documents and Excel files and is free – http://www.openoffice.org/
And pdf995 and PrimoPdf are also worth looking at.
CutePDF has to be my favourite though. Recommended!
See you
