Converting files from other format to PDF is a clever idea if you intend to create E-books for selling or making contract or some government report. Adobe Acrobat could be the king when creating PDF files but editing files with Adobe Acrobat is not as convenient as Microsoft Office. Actually, there are a few tools that could alter Adobe Acrobat. Most importantly, most of these tools are FREE.
NO 1. The Office Plug-in, SaveAsPDF
This can be a FREE Plug-in released by Microsoft, you can download it from Microsoft.
Then install the plug-in on your own computer. When you create Office document, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other Office files, click Save As, then choose PDF in order to publish a copy of the document as a PDF file.
If you learn you can find maybe some typos, just edit the initial word files then save it again.
This plug-in is provided for the Office 2007 users. If you should be not an Office 2007 user you can 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 it may also save WPS files to office files. Create a file in WPS or open a company file inside, then click File, Export to PDF.
Encountered this tool 2 years ago, it is the favorite tool I personally use to create office document and PDF files. The install file is 48.2M only.
NO 3. OpenOffice
There has been over 50 million downloads from OpenOffice download site given that they released OpenOffice.org 3.0 last October. It may be downloaded and used completely FREE of charge for any purpose. When you finished a report, you can save it as MS word format or click file, select Export as PDF.
