Re: Make a PDF

You can also use OpenOffice, as that's been able to export right to PDF for years now. I used it as my primary office productivity software on my laptop, as it does the same thing as MS Office all for free.

Re: Make a PDF

I use ExpressPDF. Upload a word document or excel sheet to the website and it will email you the pdf a minute later -- for free! I have it sent to my gmail account, so it gets automatically backed up as well.

Re: Make a PDF

Do any of these support converting Microsoft Publisher files?

Just created a quick calendar in Publisher 2007 and was able to save it as a PDF. Quality looks great

It is also nice to know there is a website that can convert word and excel to PDF for when I'm not on my computer.

Re: Make a PDF

I use publisher to create out team's documents, but I'm the only person with publisher, so I started using the pdf converter. I was wondering if there was any open source (or free) publisher substitute?

Thanks

Re: Make a PDF

I use a freeware program called PDF Redirect for creation of pdfs from various types of files; Word, Powerpoint, Excel, even pictures. (I don't have the link but I'm sure you can find it easily). The feature I particularly like is the ability to concatenate different files into one pdf file. You can also encrypt the files.
