PDF add on

minimacman · 11-26-2007, 09:31 AM

Hi,
I'm looking for some way of creating PDFs from Word and text files without spending a fortune on Acrobat. I looked at iWork Pages but it changes the font and I don't want to use OpenOffice.

Any useful ideas please for something cheap and effective?

Any replies appreciated,
Oliver

Have you tried "Save As PDF" in the Print Menu....?
It's under the big PDF button in the bottom left corner.

In Word for Mac?

In every single print dialog for every single OS X program for the Mac.

Yes, Including Word.

Yes - t's a system function, not a function of the application. When you're viewing your document in Word, press cmd+p or just go to File>Print. Then find the Save As PDF as benwiggy (cool name) advised.

EDIT - Trevor was one step ahead of me there

Thanks guys - control+P is the answer to my prayers!

Y'know - I worked with Windows for years and thought I was pretty smart. One month on the Mac has convinced me I was missing something much better.

Thanks for your help!
