You have to buy a program that allows you to create them. If you
visit http://www.adobe.com - you can learn more.

I ended up buying Acrobat, but if you own Pagemaker or some versions
of Photoshop, the ability is included.

I believe you can do an add on to MS Office that allows it, too.

If you search online -- you can find some free software for creating PDF files -- I've not used
them -- I use Adobe Acrobat (bought and paid for) -- but I've heard of others who use them.

just go to www.google.com and type in pdf creator or pdf writer and start checking out your
options.

If you just need one or two documents -- if you want to email them to me -- I can convert them to
pdf and email them back to you.

Try
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator
for creating pdfs.
and
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/
for a Foxit pdf reader,
which is a nice basic alternative
to adobe's

Suzie, you should be able to create your document in whatever
application you already have (Word, etc.). Then simply save it as a PDF
document, depending on your OS. If you use a Mac, invoking the Print
command gives you the option of "printing" to PDF. Simple!

If you use a PC, there's a little app called CutePDF that does the same
thing. You install it as though it's a printer and then "print" to that.
It's free!

This comes free as part of MacOS. You can't edit them as you can using
the real Acrobat, but it works fine for producing versions of documents
to send to people who don't have the same software as you.

It's an option in the Print dialog box.

I use PrimoPDF, a free download from http://www.primopdf.com/. It
installs as another printer, so you can use it on any file that you can
print. Use the print option on your document and select PrimoPDF as the
printer. I do my guild's newsletter using Lotus WordPro; then I use
PrimoPDF to convert my WordPro file to PDF to post on our web page. It's
easy to use and the price is right.

It really surprises me how many references I've read about Pagemaker
on this group. My career was in newspaper, and it was really rare to
for anyone to have ever heard of it outside the newpaper people. I do
love that program, though. Still use it, and probably always will. I
hated Indesign.
