Creating PDF Documents

Creating PDF documents is easier than you may think and doing so does not require a fancy- smancy-overly-priced creator. You can create a PDF file as easy as 1-2-3. And you can do so with a Free tool called Cute PDF Writer 2.7. It's available at cnet.com. Easy to download, easy to install, easy to use. And did I mention it's free?

I have been creating PDF documents by printing documents and then scanning them on my Canon LiDE 70, using the "save as PDF" option. This is great for black and white documents but for those documents that have color images the cost of printing is not always worth the effort. This newly discovered utility lets me create the documents I want, including color graphics, images and photos and save them as a PDF file easily.

Once the document is created, simply click print. At this point you are prompted to select which printer you want to use. Click on Cute PDF Writer. Another dialogue box opens up asking where you want to save your file. Name your document and make sure the save as PDF file option is selected. Then click save and that's it. Your document won't print but will be saved as a PDF file in the location you specified. You can print it at will, or email it.

Most businesses have gravitated to PDF as the file-type of choice for most of their written material. Shouldn't you?
