The format is a great way to share files since every operating system, including mobile devices, has free software available to read the files. Creating these files, manipulating them, marking them up, editing them, and converting them to other formats are all needed activities for many people. Here are some great resources to use with PDF files. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">PDF Readers:</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><div style="word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Adobe Acrobat Reader - <a href="http://get.adobe.com/reader/" id="sq20" style="text-decoration: none;" title="http://get.adobe.com/reader/">http://get.adobe.com/reader/</a> - read pdf files. </span></div><div style="word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Foxit Reader - <a href="http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php" id="q5ep" style="text-decoration: none;" title="http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php">http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php</a> - read pdf files.</span></div><div style="word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Google Docs and Google Chrome can also display PDF files. </span></div><div style="color: #333333; word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333; word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333; word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img src="http://pureinfotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/google-docs-logo.png" /></span></div><div style="color: #333333; word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333; word-spacing: 2px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Google Docs, the free service from Google, can view PDF files.

I create the original file using a word processor or presentation program and then convert it to a PDF file using <a href="http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp">CutePDF Writer</a>. <a href="http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp">CutePDF Writer</a> is a free utility that installs onto your computer like a printer. You create your original file and then “print” it. Instead of selecting your printer, you select “CutePDF.” The software will convert the file to PDF form and ask you were you would like to save it. You can also use it to “print” any file, including web pages, to a PDF file. I use this often to save web articles for reading later.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There is also a free application available that allows you to merge multiple PDF files into one PDF file.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343079980718912306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwtuxc5RWDlvUmrckGnFysgCksCMOpSrEGwSqptf7ANgov2Xs_ui1eO7gcZuyPTNbaYt37gmVvzZAvGk3IBPw3oERhiYDWZArycZZq3exL4xVYRmRaph5yylcSaskoQTGVcpd2f2WJLt4/s320/quickpdf.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 219px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 200px;" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.quickpdftools.com/">Quick PDF tools</a> is a great resource.

Go to the <a href="http://www.pdftoword.com/">site</a>, select a file from your computer to upload and convert, and enter an email address where you want the Word document sent. That's it.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I used it to convert a 9 page, 3MB PDF file and it took about 15 seconds to upload.

If someone created the PDF file by scanning a document, this will not convert it back since the scanning process converts everything into one image.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's not bad for free. You definitely don't want to use this if you need the file converted immediately. You will want to plan ahead due to the delay in getting the file converted and the fact that you may have to do some manual editing of errors.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCKkly_Bamk7z8QhI5lZCBx40Bo_zt95EZysm0ljOcy27nCR2DvtEDY0-_di3F-RVT_mdFidfAxhsuX9w8cD8LVHbS_JG8pfLLVv-4b-bZwkN09ittiSpCbSlhKC8Pg-094LEcGYObn5s/s1600/pdfonline.png"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472300548276823218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCKkly_Bamk7z8QhI5lZCBx40Bo_zt95EZysm0ljOcy27nCR2DvtEDY0-_di3F-RVT_mdFidfAxhsuX9w8cD8LVHbS_JG8pfLLVv-4b-bZwkN09ittiSpCbSlhKC8Pg-094LEcGYObn5s/s400/pdfonline.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 110px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 287px;" /></span></a></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.pdfonline.com/index.htm">PDF Online</a> is an online service that has both fee and FREE services relating to PDF files.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One of the free services is "<a href="http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf/">Doc2PDF</a>" that will convert a document to a PDF file.

Many PDF files that are unlocked (you can open and read them) sometimes have restrictions on printing or copying text from the file. <a href="http://freemypdf.com/">Free My PDF</a> can remove those restrictions.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is very easy to use.

It also can not be used for illegal or immoral uses. In other words, you can't use this to violate copyright laws or take someone else's work.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sometimes, these copy and print restrictions are in a file completely by accident because the person creating the file forgot to change the settings. Other times, you simply need to print or copy something for your own use. For example, a PDF file from a financial institution to me, with information about my account, would not let me copy or print. I wanted to copy part of it for my own records and print a hard copy for easy reference. I used Free My PDF to do that.
