Best App to create PDF.

[Nova_Tek]

As above really, want to back up some of documents I have to PDF so I 1) stop needing to reference my books or documents, 2) stop these original documents from being damaged 3) file away original documents to save some space.

There are quite a few programs out there that can 'make a pdf' file but I want a decent program that can use jpegs and also allow some word documents to be changed over too.

Anyone recommend a particular programs? Does PNG admin use pdf converters?

Any genage will be very helpful

Thanks :thumb:

Must of the designs I do are done through Adobe applications, Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign all of which are programmes used through out the print industry.
All of the programmes come with the ability to make a PDF auotmatically.

Also some thing to help you CLICKY (http://www.dopdf.com/) and CLICKY (http://www.pdfonline.com/)

Hmm thanks Southie, for me it would be PDF'ing scanned doc's & images, digital images and word doc's.

Will take a look at those links there :thumb:

I wouldn't pdf scans/images - you'll be able to get better compression just using jpgs or similar - all a pdf writer would do is up/down sample them depending on the settings anyway. To be honest most of the pro software won't be much use unless you're converting from it's native format. Cutepdf is a good free jobbie, installs as a printer so will work from any program.

For Word docs then Cute PDF is alright and free. Just have to go to print and select it

But some stuff all I have is scanned images so it will have to do. Thanks anyway, I have downloaded the doPDF program and will try that out, see if it's any good.

+rep coming your way (if it lets me) :thumb:

If you already have images just play with formats/compression, you will save more than pdf-ing them. If you have adobe then fireworks would be your best bet.

The lastest version of MS Word allows you to open a .doc and save it as .pdf

I know its not for converting Word or Photoshop files but I sometimes use when web browsing the Firefox plugin to save PDF's. CLICKY (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636)
