How to Make a PDF Document File

Many people ask me how to create PDF documents. Adobe would want you to purchase their Adobe Acrobat product (not to be confused with the free Adobe Reader). There is a free way too make PDF documents though.

I like PDFCreator for creating PDF’s. You can download and install PDFCreator here. Doing so will create a handy print driver on your computer. It works just the same as if you were to print a document to your printer. Here is how you use it once it’s downloaded and installed:

1. In whatever application you are using to make the item you wish to make into an PDF file, select the Print option.

2. Select PDFCreator as your printer and click OK.

3. Give the document a Title, Date, Author, Subject and Keywords.

4. Click Save. Give the file a file name and click Save. The document will be saved in the location you specified.
