How can I create a pdf. file?

Question

My boss asked me to type a letter and create/save it as a pdf file or to do it in PowerPoint. I've tried to create a file (regular letter format) but it didn't work. It seems that everything is in slide show formats. I also went to Adobe and tried to create a file but I was not able to do so. I'm still trying to create this file but I'm stuck. I need your help. Can anyone help me to either create a pdf file or create a file, in letter format, in PowerPoint? Any help would be greatly apperciated.

Answer 1

Use OpenOffice, (free) then export to pdf.



If you have to use MS stuff, use a creator. A free one is http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

Answer 2

Well there is no way to use PowerPoint to create .pdf format. Is good to use the Adobe Reader. So make sure you have the software and start to use it. You can usually save a copy of a PDF. If the creator of the document assigned additional usage rights, you can save comments, entries in form fields, or digital signatures that you have added to a document. If usage rights have been expanded or restricted, the document message bar under the toolbar area describes the assigned privileges or restrictions when you open the document.



If the file permissions allow, you can also save the contents of a PDF in text format. This allows you to reuse the text from a PDF document and to use the content with a screen reader, screen magnifier, or other assistive technology. For more information, go to these topics on the Adobe website

The normal (free) version of Acrobat Reader is only used to READ pdf files. not create them. To really create professional pdf you would need the full paid for version of Acrobat Reader.



But there are programs that can help you.

Download this free program. it well install really a virtual printer (not really a printer, just make your computer think it has a printer). Then what ever document you want to be in PDF you just select the PrimoPDF Printer (from the print dialog box) and it generates a PDF document for you. Really simple and easy to you. now just type up the report in Word or any word processing program, and "print" it to PDF.

More people would have access to the PDF format then the Powerpoint.

Answer 4

Do you have a mac or pc? If you have a mac, when you choose to print, the print window will come up and there is an option to save as pdf file.



I'm not sure if pc's have the same or not. BUT you can make a pdf in Acrobat, but you have to have the full version, not just the reader.

Answer 5

Adobe Acrobat or MS Word 2007 with the pdf add-ons.
