If you are a business person like me who struggles with keeping up with technology or just someone who needs to create a PDF file, you’ll want to read this! There is a solution that is as simple as clicking print in MS Word, change your printer setting, and saving the document to a file, and like magic you’ve got a PDF file! Yeap, it’s that easy.
Creating a PDF file in the past has meant that I either needed to purchase Adobe Acrobat, download some program that just didn’t seem great, spend a small fortune on another program, or pay someone who had such a program to convert the file for me. What a pain! All I wanted was an EASY way to create PDF files out of MS Word documents that did not cost an arm & a leg.
The solution was awaiting me when I opened the business section of the Akron Beacon Journal the other day. A FREE web program that makes PDF documents. I’m always a little sceptical when it’s free, but I decided to check it out.
My experience was easy, pleasant, and it works AND it was FREE! So if you want a simple way to create pdf files check into CutePDF at http://www.cutepdf.com and download a free copy. If you don’t need to create forms or have encryption stick with the FREE version.
The advise the ABJ gave was “during installation, you’ll be asked if you’d like to install a search bar in your browser for Ask.com Say no by unchecking those boxes”. Basically CutePDF adds itself as a printer on your PC. It’s that simple.
I enjoy a good simple and free solution! Hope you do too.
