You have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and have receiving pdf file as email attachments for a long time now. You love the simplicity of it, It views, prints perfect everytime, and you can’t edit it…But how do you make your own pdf files to send from your computer?
- You can Buy Adobes over priced massive bloat ware package called Acrobat Professional. You will get a whole lot of features you can’t even begin to understand how to use. Better leave that to the Big Corporations and Government organizations who can afford to hire a techie just to make pdf’s.
- Or you can download Primo PDF. Its simple easy and does a fantastic job, even with unfortunate users running Windows Vista. It does some with some adverts enticing your to buy the editor etc.. but hey.. We just need to make a pdf of our Document, Spreadsheet, webpage etc.. Very nice option set which includes appending pdf files… Download Primo PDF here.
Now that brings me to another fantastic add-on, which really should be part of the main package in the first place. You have guessed it.. Microsofts Office 2007. Awesome office package, with no built in PDF option.
Amazingly the greedy software giant has made available a small download add-on which enables your entire office package to create pdfs for free.. You are expected to buy the Office 2007 package for the price of about 1 months installment on your small car. This is Soutf Africa. On the downside you can’t PDF a website page. Download it here.
Finaly there is the open source pdf creator. Nice does the job, but lacks some features that primo has..
Enjoy PDF ing…
