[LM_NET] HIT: free pdf creators

[Kathy Starks <starks.kathy@NEWTON.K12.GA.US>]

Happy Friday!

 

I haven't had a chance to test out any of these yet, but here's what I heard
from folks about free or semi-free pdf creators:

 

*       http://createpdf.adobe.com/

if he has a scanner, he can scan into a free pdf.   there is an adobe that
does

have a site for free pdf online and i use that when i'm at work (our
scanners are old!).  it limits you to 5 free ones.  since i have 4-5 email
adresses, i just keep registering with different emails.  they keep track of
you via your email address.  

 

*       I use http://www.pdf995.com/

I find it very simple to use.

 

*       I haven't used this, but I just (like 5 minutes ago) read about this
one 

PDF creator

from PC world's list of 101 Fabulous Freebies

*       The OpenOffice suite includes a free pdf creator. It's a big
download and you get quite a lot, but it has certainly come in handy. I've
been able to take my Microsoft Word documents, open in within OpenOffice,
and then convert to pdf, all within seconds.

Thanks for all of the quick responses. You all are the best!
