Creating PDF file

You can create a PDF file from any Windows program that can print. This results in the creation of a simple PDF. With this method, you create a PDF as you would normally print a document:

1) Have your document you're going to convert opened.

2) Set the default printer in your Windows program to the PDF Creator printer.

3) As PDF Creator printer uses the authoring program's printing options, change the printing settings in your program as you would have them appear in the PDF format. This includes the order of pages, page range to be selected, etc. Change the settings to your preferences on the Print dialogue box. Confirm the print job by clicking OK.

4) A creation dialog (Save-As dialog) will appear. You'll be given options about general features for your PDF. Select and set these accordingly. Then save the file and specify the folder location in which you want it saved. You have to save it to create the PDF. The file will save with a .pdf file extension.

5) Once saved, if you didn't check the option to automatically have the PDF launched after creation, you may have to open the PDF again using a PDF viewer.
