MS Word to PDF for Free ?

Halcyon · 12-02-2005, 19:11

Hi, Im desperately looking for a way to transfer all my project's word documents into one big PDF file.
I dont want to pay to get Adobe PDF creator and would prefer something free that will do the same job and convert a word document entirely as it is at the moment with all the formatting, in PDF format.

Thanks to anyone who knows anything I can use.

Halcyon.

We used Amyuni PDF Convertor at my work - however, this is not free either - you can get a demo version, but I think it adds a watermark or maybe an extra "this is a demo version" page at the end of each document.

I have used this:

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/primopdf.html
PrimoPDF allows you to create PDF files from any printable document (.doc, images, text, web pages etc.). It installs as a virtual printer and is accessible from any program that offers a Print option. In addition to the standard features, it also offers the ability to optimize PDF output for printing to standard laser printers or for onscreen viewing. No watermark is added to the document, no limitations.

Or visit my FAV Free site http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/ & type PDF in the Search Box

Enjoy

I use Cute PDF Writer:

Note the instructions - you need to download and install two programs, but it's a doddle.

You can also do a few free online ones at the Adobe website

Take a look on some of the cover CDs from magazines if you have any, they often have some software on them to save you downloading any.

I use JawsPDF at work, tha was free for the lower than present version.
I used FreePDF before that & that worked well with word.

Google will find them.
