Making+a+PDF

Making a File a PDF Sometimes when we do work on a home computer, we come to work and the document won't open. You ask yourself, "What should I do?" You can make your file a PDF. PDF stands for "Portable Document Format", and is associated the most with Adobe Acrobat Reader. When you make a PDF, you are printing out a virtual piece of paper that can be moved to any other computer for viewing and printing. The PDF standard is cross-platform compatible, and can be viewed in all versions of Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
 * But remember: you can't change a PDF once it is made (well, easily anyway). It like a real piece of paper, and if you need to make a change, you have to edit your original document and "reprint" the PDF.

Support for PDF printing is built into Mac OS X, and Google Docs. However, it is free (and easy) to add it to Windows. Here's what you do: > || Yahoo Toolbar || > || Browser Helper ||
 * 1) Download and install "PDF Creator" from @http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ . It is free and open-source.
 * 2) If you don't want the "PDF ForgeYahoo Toolbar" or "Browser Helper", just un-check them during install.

 * 1) Then print to it like any printer. Choose "File > Print" and select "PDFCreator" from the list of printers. You can customize the document information, and click "Save"
 * 2) Give it a location to save to, like "My Documents" or your flash drive. Then you're done!
