I have had too many occasions recently where I have had clients who need to convert a document to a PDF and did not know how, nor did they have the software. All you small business owners listen carefully: a PDF is a safer and more professional method of sending documents. It is safer than simply sending a MS Word document because the person receiving the document cannot easily change it. Also they can almost certainly open the document regardless of which word processing system they are using (as most everyone has Adobe Reader installed).
Rather than going over it on the phone with client after client, here is the step-by-step on how to install and use Primo PDF (one of several free PDF printers).
- Click this link to go to the download page for Primo PDF
- Download and run the file
- Go through the setup wizard
- After setting up Primo PDF on your PC, you may now choose Primo PDF as one of your printer options when you go to print a document.
Next time you send a word doc via email, especially on your company letterhead, use a PDF format to make it look more professional.
