Converting files from other format to PDF is a smart idea if you wish to create E-books for selling or making contract or some government report. Adobe Acrobat is the king when creating PDF files but editing files with Adobe Acrobat is not as convenient as Microsoft Office. Actually, there are some tools that may alter Adobe Acrobat. Above all, many of these tools are FREE.
NO 1. The Office Plug-in, SaveAsPDF
This is a FREE Plug-in released by Microsoft, you are able to download it from Microsoft.
Then install the plug-in in your computer. Once you create Office document, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other Office files, click Save As, then choose PDF so you can publish a copy of the document as a PDF file.
If you find you will find maybe some typos, just edit the original word files then save it again.
This plug-in is just provided for the Office 2007 users. If you are not an Office 2007 user you are able to choose other tools which are totally FREE.
NO 2. WPS from Kingsoft
Produced by Kingsoft, presented as a MS Office killer at Chinese market, Kingsoft WPS is totally FREE for the private edition and 100% suitable for all version of MS office WPS PDF Tool. WPS can open MS office file and additionally, it may save WPS files to office files. Create a record in WPS or open a company file inside it, then click File, Export to PDF.
Encountered this tool 2 years ago, it is the favorite tool I personally use to produce office document and PDF files. The install file is 48.2M only.
NO 3. OpenOffice
There have been over 50 million downloads from OpenOffice download site simply because they released OpenOffice.org 3.0 last October. It could be downloaded and used completely FREE of charge for any purpose. Once you finished a record, you are able to save it as MS word format or click file, select Export as PDF.
