Converting files from other format to PDF is an intelligent idea if you wish to create E-books for selling or making contract or some government report. Adobe Acrobat may be the king when creating PDF files but editing files with Adobe Acrobat is much less convenient as Microsoft Office. Actually, there are several tools that can alter Adobe Acrobat. Above all, most of these tools are FREE.
NO 1. The Office Plug-in, SaveAsPDF
This is a FREE Plug-in released by Microsoft, you are able to download it from Microsoft.
Then install the plug-in on your own computer. After you create Office document, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other Office files, click Save As, then choose PDF so you can publish a copy of the document as a PDF file.
If you discover you will find maybe some typos, just edit the original word files then save it again.
This plug-in is only provided for the Office 2007 users. If you're no Office 2007 user you are able to choose other tools which are totally FREE.
NO 2. WPS from Kingsoft
Developed by Kingsoft, presented as a MS Office killer at Chinese market, Kingsoft WPS is totally FREE for the personal edition and 100% appropriate 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's the favourite tool I personally use to create office document and PDF files. The install file is 48.2M only.
NO 3. OpenOffice
There have been over 50 million downloads from OpenOffice download site since they released OpenOffice.org 3.0 last October. It may be downloaded and used completely FREE of charge for any purpose. After you finished a record, you are able to save it as MS word format or click file, select Export as PDF.
