There have been programs around for a long time that will convert all sorts of documents to PDF, but until now, most of them did this by using a trick that works by making a virtual printer that converts the document into PDF format. Unfortunately, the PDF files created this way, while in PDF format aren’t completely functional. One of the biggest drawbacks of converting files with the virtual printer method is that links aren’t clickable. So if you’re converting a Word doc or Web page from its original format to PDF any links or email addresses contained in those documents will not be clickable.
We’ve found an online PDF conversion tool that creates real PDF files from all manner of text documents – Word docs, HTML (web) pages, RTF files and many more. It works quickly and securely and the PDF documents it creates contain images and clickable links – in other words real, 100% pure, PDF documents.
When we tested this Web application, we converted last week’s InfoAve Premium newsletter to PDF in less than 3 minutes – and last week’s Premium was a rather large file (around 110KB). It works great. There are many reasons why you’d want to convert documents to PDF files – but the number one reason is that they retain the integrity of the original and can be read on virtually any platform.
We think you’ll love this Web application, even if part of the page is in German. We’re bringing you the translated (to English) version for you’re viewing pleasure. Want to create some REAL PDF files? Visit this freshly translated page.
My biggest problem with PDF files is that I was unable to convert them TO a Word document. I had so many files that were older and some that were sent to me that I didn’t recognize.
I wanted the final Story (in WORD)that I was writing (For several years) to accept a PDF and it seemed impossible — some had graphic and some had pictures.
Am I missing something here?–Maybe i will get it fixed up when I work with EB and TC during my appointment with Direct Computer Care.
