PDF is a popular document storage format. Its peculiarity is that a file with this extension can be created from almost any other text document or image. To do this, you need to use specialized converter programs or conversion services.
Instructions
Step 1
If you need to transcode a small file, you can use an online document conversion resource such as convertonlinefree.com or similar. To convert, use the form on the page. Select the files you want to convert to PDF using the corresponding service button. Some resources allow you to select several images or documents at once (JPG, GIF, PDF, DOC, DOCX, etc.). After that, on the page, click the button to start converting and wait for a link to your finished document in PDF format.
Step 2
If you often have to convert files to this format, you can use specialized utilities. Among these programs it is worth noting such as doPDF, PDF Creator and PDF Converter Pro. Download and install any of the proposed utilities on your computer and run it using the shortcut or the Start menu.
Step 3
In the program window, specify the files you want to convert, set the parameters of the output file and click "Convert". Save the resulting PDF in the system.
Step 4
Also, these utilities can work as a virtual printer for some applications. For example, if you want to save a file from any program directly to PDF, select the Print section. In the drop-down list for selecting equipment for output on paper, specify the name of the installed utility.
Step 5
Specify the parameters for saving the desired PDF, and then click "Print" and specify a name for the created file and the directory for its placement. After that, go to the folder where the file was saved and check it for any display errors. If you notice any formatting distortion, try saving the document again using different settings. Conversion to PDF is complete.
