since lots of people are wondering...
The
Portable Document Format (
PDF) is the
file format created by
Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF is a fixed-layout format used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system.
so, basically, PDF is a file format.:)) but i'm sure you knew that.
anyway,,
so, now, about converting files to PDF...
i found this software online that you can download.
get it here:
http://www.primopdf.com/it did well for me.:D
hope it does well for you.,
there are two softwares you can download.
i downloaded the NitroPDF Professional.
it's bigger and may take longer to download than the other one (PrimoPDF)... but that's what i dloaded and it worked really well, so, it's up to you.:D
goodluck. hope this helped.:D
**EDIT
if your filesize is too big, (and you're using word) try compressing some pics.:D
oh and btw, if the software asks you if you want it to be the default PDF reader and you have Adobe Acrobat, say no.:D
on other news,
sam gave a helpful tip!:)
sam: if you use indesign for the layout, there is an option to save it as pdf. FILE, EXPORT, type your filename, the choose the extension PDF. Done!
so, IF YOU USE INDESIGN (which erin and i did not use:))), your life is easier.:))
