If you've ever downloaded a document or purchased an ebook
online, odds are it was created in something called "Portable
Document Format" (PDF). PDF was initially created by Adobe and
is the standard for online documents, as they can be viewed on
a variety of platforms and computers.
To read PDF documents, a computer must have "Adobe Acrobat
Reader" installed, which comes at no charge. If you don't
already have it on your system, you can download it here: http://adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html Now if you want to create a PDF document, you could go out
and spend a few hundred dollars on Adobe Acrobat Software. But
there are other, lower cost (even free) options. If you plan on
creating reports or ebooks, or any other document to add to your
website, you'll want to take a look at what's available in the
PDF creation department. 1) http://PDFMoto.com : A Web publishing system that converts
documents you create in any Windows application into PDF. They
offer several different versions, so pricing varies, but they
do offer a free version that is limited to 50 documents. 2) http://PDF995.com : Free software that allows you to create
PDF documents as easily as hitting the "print" key from within
any application. The free version has an advertising splash page
that comes up everytime you run the program but you can purchase
"keys" for $9.95 each to remove them if they bother you. 3) http://Sanface.com/txt2pdf.html : Txt2PDF Shareware that is
actually a Perl 5 program that converts your old text docs to
PDF format. Runs on any platform that supports Perl. The personal
edition is only $39.00 4) http://www.oakworth.demon.co.uk/gymnast.htm : Gymnast is a
text to PDF creator for Windows. This downloadable software is
actually freeware. Very powerful and easy to use and it's loaded
with features. Just open the software, select the document and
convert it. 5) http://tinyurl.com/la4j : CutePDF Printer is totally free.
This software has no annoying ads or banners. Choose print from
within any application to create a PDF instantly. 6) http://Win2PDF.com : This software creates PDF files from any
Windows NT, Win 2000 or XP application. Price ranges from $35.00
to $69.00, depending on which version you wish to purchase.
Installs as a print driver so all you do is click print from
any software app you're using and you're done. As you can see, you have plenty to choose from when it comes to
software packages, but what if you just have an occasional need
to create PDF's? There are some websites that will allow you to
create documents right online at their sites.
Here are a few to get you started: 1) Adobe: http://www.Adobe.com Look in the left hand column for the button that says "create
PDF online." You can create up to five documents free; after
that you'll need to pay $9.99 a month or $99.00 per year for
unlimited usage. 2) Create Your Own PDF: http://www.sanface.com/createpdf.html Just paste your text into the box and hit the button. Presto,
you're done.
