How to Convert Documents into PDF Format for Free - Easy PDF Creation

Firstly, why do we need PDF's?

Simply Put...

PDF stands for "Portable Document Format", PDF's are mainly created so the text contained within cannot be edited.

They can also be used to print something out for future reference, without wasting paper.  PDF's save the environment!

In order to create PDF's quickly and easily, download a PDF printer from the internet.  There many options available, but in my experience the best option is "Cute PDF".  You can aquire this software at the following link.

I have included a picture below for you guys who are finding the program hard to find.

You must download and install this software on your computer, if prompted to download any extra files to complete the install, make sure that you do this. 

Once Cute PDF is installed, it is very simple to use. Follow the instructions detailed below to start creating your own PDF's.

Step 1 - Open the document you wish to convert into a PDF. In this example we have simply opened a simple word document. See below.

Step 2 - Once you have opened your document, simply choose to print your document in the normal manner.

At this stage you must choose the "Cute PDF Writer" printer listed in your current printer list.
