How to Create a PDF
How to Create a PDFToday, it seems the most important type of digital document is PDF. From email to printing, it’s the easiest to send and open, but it’s often the hardest to create. Unless you have a program on your computer to create pdf, you probably don’t now how to make one. Or at least I didn’t.
Adobe has a very handy program online called Adobe CreatePDF. For $9.99 a month you can create unlimited pdf files. Once you have created your document, you can use Acrobat to search pdf and track changes. It’s a very useful if you send and receive a lot of documents, and since it’s billed monthly, you can cancel and subscribe as you need it. If you use pdf files weekly (like I do) you can sign up for the annual plan which gives you two free months for $99. Adobe CreatePDF is great if you travel or work on different computers because you can sign online anywhere to create a new document.
What is a PDF?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format and it was created by Adobe to be a compact document that would look the same both on the computer screen and in print. PDF files are the preferred file types for sending info electronically, especially when pictures are included because the file size is much smaller than other documents.
Once you have a PDF, you can be sure that when you print your documents you are going to get the same exact look on paper.
