How to create PDF file?

Often we need to convert a word, excel or any other file into PDF format. This is done through a virtual printer. When a virtual printer (that creates PDF file) is installed in your system then you can see it in your print option.

In this post I will tell about do PDF. It is a powerful tool to convert several files (DOC, DOCX, DJVU, XLS, XLSX, XPS, PPT, PPTX, DOT, EML, VSD, PUB, PUBX, MPP, WPD, OpenOffice, DWG, HTML, TXT, PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF and many others) into PDF format.

Steps for creating PDF file:
1. Download and install doPDF from here.
2. Open a program (ie. MS Word) from which you wanna create PDF.
3. Open your desired file for conversion purpose.
4. Go to the print option by pressing Ctrl + P.
5. Select the doPDF printer from the Print dialogue box.
6. Now you will see the doPDF dialogue box on you screen.
7. Now select the location on which you want your PDF file to keep and hit OK button.

Now you have all done. Your brand new PDF file may open directly. If not then go to the file location you selected and open it through PDF viewer.
