Converting a File to PDF

When converting a file to a PDF you will first need to convert it to a postscript file (see the postscript file section). For example, in Word open your file and go to the print menu. Specify the Acrobat Distiller driver. Also, select the "Print To File" option. When you are prompted to enter the name of the new file, make sure that you select Save as Type: All Files (*.*). Then, specify the path of the directory where you want the file saved and save the file as filename.ps. Do this for each of your .doc files.

PDF files are then created using the Adobe Acrobat Distiller application. It is simple to use. When you open the Distiller, select File>Open and specify a .ps file to convert. The Distiller then prompts you to verify whether the associated PDF file should have the same filename (i.e. filename.ps and filename.pdf). You just click ok and the Distiller creates the PDF file. You can then view your files in Acrobat Reader or Exchange.
