Here’s a cool computer tool we’d like you to know about because it can save you time and money: PDF995 is simple to use FREE software that converts documents to PDF (Portable Document File) format.

What is PDF format? “PDF is a file format that captures all the elements of a printed document as an electronic image that you can view, navigate, print. . .   or forward to someone else regardless, of the computer. . . program it was first created in.” (Source: UCL Learning Technology, London, England).

Why is it important? Suppose you’re sending an e-mail and you want to share a certain file or document. Your recipient might not be able to open your attachment unless they’re using the same version of the program you used to create it in.

PDF format allows them to open it. It also prevents other people from making changes to your original document.

How do I create PDF files? PDF files are created using Adobe Acrobat Capture, or similar products such as PDF995. You can download it from http://www.pdf995.com/download.html.

You can also download complete documentation for converting PDFs using this cool tool from the resources on our website.

Finally, to view and use the files, you’ll need the FREE Acrobat Reader, which can be easily downloaded from www.adobe.com.  Once you’ve downloaded the Reader, it will start automatically whenever you want to look at a PDF file.
