Middle Buffalo Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I downloaded Adobe so I could open files with a ".pdf" designation. How do I create the same kind of file? Do I need a special program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Presumably the Adobe app you downloaded was Acrobat Reader. Basically, I create PDFs one of two ways: Using a graphics app like Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign, or with a printer extension when the PDF conversion isn't supported in the app. I'm a Mac guy, but the apps I use are all cross-platform.

Balta1701 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 If you only have acrobat reader, then it will be difficult for you to produce your own PDF files. You need the full version of Acrobat, or some other similar Adobe software, to turn files into PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 download an adobe PDF printer driver... this would install an new "printer" on your computer, then when you go to print the document, instead of printing it, select "Adobe PDF" which will then produce a PDF of the selected document instead of printing it. unfortunately, they only have this for Mac, but here is one you can use a free trial for the PC, though i have not used it myself.

PDF Printer Driver: PC I downloaded it and it works fine. In the bottom right corner of each page it says "created using BCL easyPDF printer driver." A little tacky, but I only need it for some documents that I submit quarterly to the bank that lent me money for an apartment complex. Thanks much everyone, MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
