Creating PDF Files Without Buying Adobe Reader Pro

How many times have you wanted to create an electronic document that could not be changed?
Have you wanted to send a website page as an attachment instead of sending a link to the page?
Do you edit a blog or a website and wanted to know how to insert a document as a post or as a webpage?

The Apple Mac operating system has this built in as an option when you print from an application.  

On a Windows computer, download a program called PDFLite. Download PDFLite from here: (http://tinyurl.com/c7az73k) This program creates a "printer"whose output is a PDF file. For example, you have created a Word document. From Word, select print and then select PDFLite as the printer. You are prompted where to store the converted file.

When you wish to make a file of a website page, the same procedure applies. Select print and select the PDFLite printer.

You cannot cut and past a PDF document into a blog post or into a website page. To display a PDF file requires HTML code. One way to generate the code without learning HTML is through a website called scribd. Create an account and you can upload a PDF file for sharing. Once the file was been processed into your library you can copy code that allows you to embed the PDF file into a blog post or website. See the scribd tutorial for more information: http://tinyurl.com/c7az73k
