Convert Any File To A PDF – For FREE

February 11, 2011 by JodieB Filed Under: The Best Free Software

Today I am going to tell you about my favorite FREE PDF convertor – CutePDF.  In spite of the sugary name it is an excellent piece of software and it is super easy to use – if you can print you can make a PDF.  I especially like the fact that you can create a PDF from virtually any type of file.  This is especially handy for me when I need to create a proof of a postcard or other design project for a client.

Here is what the creators Acro Software say about their product:    Portable Document Format (PDF) is the de facto standard for the secure and reliable distribution and exchange of electronic documents and forms around the world. CutePDF Writer (formerly CutePDF Printer) is the free version of commercial PDF creation software. CutePDF Writer installs itself as a printer subsystem. This enables virtually any Windows applications (must be able to print) to create professional quality PDF documents with just a push of a button.

Basically, this software installs inself as another printer on your system.  Open the file you want to covert, go to File/Print and choose CutePDF from the list of available printers.  When you click print it will direct you to name and save the new PDF.  That’s all there is to it!!

To get CutePDF go here:  http://www.acrosoftware.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

Download and install BOTH files (Free Download and Free Converter) on the left side of the screen.  That’s it your ready to PDF!!!!

    Thanks for this great tip!

    Do you know if it will retain your links?

    In other free PDF generators I notice that when I convert a document from Word with links in it – it does not retain them.

    Your are right it does not retain links. As far as I am aware, and I would love someone to prove me wrong, that is one of the functions you can’t find for free.

    I like the fact that no matter what program I am in I can create a pdf of anything. I do alot graphics design and this quick, easy tool is great when I need to create a quick proof.
