Hi all
Hoping you may be able to help. My bookings software automatically exports each Contract to a Word Document. Is there any way I can then transform this into a PDF without copying and pasting?? Thanks Mark

My Word software has a submenu for converting to PDF. I think it came when I installed my Acrobat software. There are also several free PDF converters on the internet, if you do a Google search for "Word to PDF converter".
Things are more like they are today than they've ever been before...

There are several online services that do this for free. You upload the file and they send the converted document to your email address.
http://www.pdfonline.com/ I used it once and have never received spam or anything else from them. I used it to convert a works document to pdf for a receipt to email a person.

I use cutepdf.
It seems able to convert near any displayed material to pdf. Whether this is a Word document, or something in a Firefox window, doesn't seem to matter. It does lots more too. http://www.cutepdf.com/

I have no problem converting a wordpad document into a pdf. My problem is inserting images and or video clips without having to spring for Word or Acrobat Pro.
Sorry if I am going slightly off topic...but is there a service that does the above. Mark.I believe some of the suggestions above are what initially enabled me to even create a pdf....which I naively believed was a monumental task. All the best. Rich |

Come to think of it, I have also used CutePDF, and it worked well...

Michael. I went with Bullzip. Superb. Highly recommended. Set it up very quickly with my own watermark, you can sepcify default titles, authors etc, very easily. Just the ticket! I'm sure I'll find something it can't do in time but at the moment its perfect for my needs!

PDF printers are a good solution.
You can also save a Microsoft Word document directly to PDF by downloading the Word PDF converter. Go to Microsoft Office Online and type "pdf" into the search box, and click the search button, or hit "enter" on your keyboard. There are addins that allow saving to PDF for Microsoft Office 2007, and Microsoft Office 2003, and perhaps for earlier versions too.

You know, the Bboy in me thought you were giving a shout out for the .pdf format.
One time, when I was young, I botched a sleight so bad, Vernon, Marlo & Miller rolled over in their graves. But I didn't see Elmsley, probably because he was behind the others.

This is still difficult? I just select "Print...", click the PDF button, and select "Save as PDF...". Works for anything from whic you can print.

Hi Bill
I've just been to the site but couldn't find the add-in for 2003. Do you know where to locate it?? Thanks Mark

Mark,
I'm pretty sure the 'save as pdf' is only available for Office 2007. Before I got Acrobat, even though I had the add-on for 2007, I used Open Office to save pdfs as saved graphics were sharper in Open Office for some reason.

It is probably not that much help as I imagine you are using a PC but if you have a Mac they can print to PDF from any application.
File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF (in any open application). |

Try Altsoft Xml2PDF (google it) to convert your contracts in word to pdf.

I use a programme called Serif PagePlus X3. You can open a PDF into this programme and edit any part of it. I use this software for my posters, flyers, just about everything. Its absolutely fantastic and VERY reasonable priced. Check out Serif's website. All their software comes with a 60 day return option if you're not happy. I've never had to use it and I've bought about a dozen or more things from them over the years. You can also convert any work you do in PagePlus to a PDF very simply. On the Word to PDF front, I'm still using BullZip as suggested earlier - its been superb! Mark

Before I had embedded PDF converters, I used pdf995 (from the website of the same name)
Extracting text is tougher, especially if the PDF is a scanned page and not typed. For that you need an OCR program that can accept PDF as an image source.
