How to do it please misters?

install adobe acrobat

save as pdf.


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

use openoffice .. it has a built in "export to pdf" function

otherwise, you'll probably have to install some adobe crap, which you have to buy

Easy. Google "PDF Creator". You'll be able to download a free/share/trial of a thing that lets you print frmo Word/other MS Office apps to a PDF file.

Adobe Acrobat sucks.

Install CutePDF. You have it as a printer, and just print any document to CutePDF instead of an actual printer.

I've got adobe acrobat. Wierd - there wasn't an option to save word doc as PDF...

Cheers Anon
Cheers Tripto
Cheers Horse
Cheers Sheik

Will try all options...

you probably have free adobe acrobat READER.
The version to create PDFs is like $250.
Screw that. Its a bloated beast anyway.
CutePDF represent. Our whole organisation has it.

Trying hitting print, and see if one of your choices (of printer) is adobe acrobat.


brokenbrastraps  said about 5 years ago:

Ah! Now I understand. I'm getting 5 pdf docs created for free. Then will look into cutepdf... Cheers Sheik.

Hey Jetgirl - none of my printers is adobe acrobat.

brokenbrastraps  said about 5 years ago:

Oh fuck. It's talking so LONG. Damn trials. Can i email it to someone to convert and then email it back??? Does it take a long time usually??


brokenbrastraps  said about 5 years ago:

It's all sorted now. Thank you!

I'm using the imaginatively named PDF Creator. Works as a printer driver.

Seems fine so far.
