Converting files from other format to PDF is a wise idea if you wish to create E-books for selling or making contract or some government report. Adobe Acrobat could be the king when creating PDF files but editing files with Adobe Acrobat is never as convenient as Microsoft Office. Actually, there are a few tools that could alter Adobe Acrobat. Above all, all of these tools are FREE.
NO 1. The Office Plug-in, SaveAsPDF
This is a FREE Plug-in released by Microsoft, you are able to download it from Microsoft.
Then install the plug-in on your own computer. Once you create Office document, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other Office files, click Save As, then choose PDF to help you publish a copy of the document as a PDF file.
If you find there are maybe some typos, just edit the first word files then save it again.
This plug-in is provided for the Office 2007 users. If you're not an Office 2007 user you are able to choose other tools which are totally FREE.
NO 2. WPS from Kingsoft
Manufactured by Kingsoft, presented as a MS Office killer at Chinese market, Kingsoft WPS is wholly FREE for the non-public edition and 100% appropriate for all version of MS office WPS PDF Tool. WPS can open MS office file and additionally it may save WPS files to office files. Create a file in WPS or open an office file inside it, then click File, Export to PDF.
Encountered this tool 2 years ago, it's the favourite tool I take advantage of to generate office document and PDF files. The install file is 48.2M only.
NO 3. OpenOffice
There were over 50 million downloads from OpenOffice download site since they released OpenOffice.org 3.0 last October. It can be downloaded and used completely FREE of charge for any purpose. Once you finished a file, you are able to save it as MS word format or click file, select Export as PDF.
