Creating a PDF file from any document

What are the advantages of a PDF file?

Smaller files. The smaller the file, the quicker the transfer.

The recipients of your document see exactly what you designed – no chance of the format changing.

Everyone can open it. The reader software is a free download and available for all platforms.

It is incredibly simple:

1. Open the file (word, publisher, power point, etc.) that you want to turn into a PDF file.

2. Go to FileàPrint.

3. Choose Adobe PDF from the list of printers.

4. Click OK.

5. Choose where you want to save the file.

6. That’s it – all done.

A few tips:

Do all of your editing before you create the PDF file

You have to have the “real” version of Adobe Acrobat not Acrobat Reader – all of the new computers in the building have this installed.
