PDF (Portable Document Files) are a popular way to share Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and other files because PDF’s can be read by many different operating systems and can easily be posted on a Web site without losing special formatting. Users of the Macintosh OS X operating system have built-in PDF conversion through the Print window.

However, since Windows XP users have no built-in PDF capability on their computers, they can either purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional, or try the free PrimoPDF or CutePDF Writer.

When downloaded and installed on your computer, these applications can convert most documents into PDF format by simply ‘printing’ to the PrimoPDF (http://www.primopdf.com/) or CutePDF (http://www.cutepdf.com/) printer in your Print window. Your creation is optimized for print or screen and there are no pop-up ads.
