PDF Writers

Most of you have opened a pdf document on the web with the free Adobe Reader. To create a pdf in Adobe you have to purchase their software program. However, there are also several good free pdf writers. I will list two with their download links below.

CutePDF and PDF Creator

I use CutePDF.

One good reason to create a pdf is to put a pre-existing document on your webpage without loosing the formatting.

To create a pdf

  • Open the document
  • Go to the File menu, and Print
  • Select CutePDF
  • You will be prompted for where to save the pdf document. I usually save it to the Desktop to easily move it into my webfolder. I then delete the copy on the Desktop when I am through.
