How to make a .pdf document?

Kakero · 06-27-2002, 06:14 AM

I've seen people sending .pdf document to me but I don't know how to create one. I open Adobe Acrobat 4.0 but I couldn't type anything in it. the help file there isn't very helpful.

can someone tell me how to create one?

Adobe Acrobat only serves as a READER. You need to buy Adobe's horribly expensive full program in order to write them. Very useful - you can even download entire websites into PDF format. I've done that with pics of Jordan.

some graphics editting programs allow you to save files as PDF, the full version of the latest acrobat retails at $249 (adobe acrobat 5.0)

yeah, what you have is called Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0
what you need is Adobe Acrobat.

There are, shall we say 'other' ways to get hold of a full version of adobe acrobat but I reckon I might get thrown out of IW if I elaborate any further.

There's actually quite a few free or cheap alternatives.

Do a Google search on "txt to pdf" or "doc to pdf" or "whatever-you-are-trying-to-convert to pdf"

You can also try a search on Tucows...

Any Mac application can save as a pdf file, so if you have access to one, you could easily convert from Office or whatever...
hope this helps. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
