Want to create a PDF file?

Yesterday my wonderful wife sent a Word file to someone, but the woman she sent it to couldn't open it. I re-sent the Word file to her and I also sent it to her as an Acrobat PDF file. (She's got to be able to open one of them, right?)

To create the PDF from the Word document, I
  • printed the Word document
  • scanned the printout
  • placed the scanned pages into Quark Xpress
  • exported the Quark document as PDF
Easy, no? Well, . . . no.

Today I found a free program that would have eliminated three of those steps.
