CONVERTER SITE-AWESOME!

debra.wilson@ops.org — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:07:00 GMT

I found this site when I kept getting asked to convert Pub to PDF's and I don't have publisher on my computer. Convert Microsoft Office, Open Office, Lotus, images, web pages and other formats to PDF. This free PDF converter and PDF creator is quick and reliable. It will also convert PDF's to Word/Excel.

Example: you need to convert a Microsoft Word document to PDF document. Use the "Browse" button to locate the Word file on your computer, select it and click the "Convert Your File" button. Done!
