Creating a PDF document can be useful for many different reasons. Sometimes a professor may prefer a PDF document over a Word document. Another reason for PDF format is if you do not want anybody to copy or change the format of your document. A PDF is designed to keep your document looking nice and clean once it is completely finished.
PDF literally stands for “Printable Document Format” and was designed by Adobe in the early 90’s essentially as an easy way to print documents and has become the preferred version for printable documents online.
The program that most people are familiar with when it comes to PDF’s is Adobe Acrobat, which is not free. A free program that we suggest here at Be Your Own IT is www.PDF995.com.
All you need to do is click on the link, and download both the free converter and print driver. Once you have done this, open up any standard Word document. Select the “Print” option, and you will see that there is a PDF995 print option. Select print and it will allow you to save a PDF document to your computer.
