Free pdf convert

mandybear7

My invites are DIY and I was freaking out about converting to pdf (using Word and PowerPoint only)... I remember seeing a thread about this but it wasn't very conclusive.

Well, I used freepdfconvert.com and it worked like a charm. So if you're wondering how to do this, no fear, it's super easy to use that website! That is all!

It's really easy to convert a word or powerpoint to a PDF.  When you do save as, just change the format you're saving it in from .doc or .ppt to .pdf.

My networks are wacko, especially at work, with all of the editions of programs causing problems. I wish it were that easy! This site was recommended by the IT guy at my school.

Navy, if you don't have conversion software that won't work.  Word can't write a file into PDF format directly.  At least, not on a non-Mac (that's what you use, right?)

Exactly, squirrly.

I use a Mac at home, but I can also do it on my PC at work.  I've never had a problem saving a word file directly into a PDF.  Weird.

Navy, do you have Adobe Acrobat on that computer?  It adds drivers that allow you to do stuff like that.  Regular old word can't.

ETA:  real Acrobat, not just Acrobat Reader.

No, I just have acrobat reader.  It might be something with the brand new word (2008/2009).  I'm not sure though.

It depends on the version of Word or Publisher you are using. I have 2002 on my desktop & 2007 on my laptop. 2007 will let you convert, 2002 will not.
