To
create PDF files, you just “print” your documents to the doPDF free
pdf converter. Open a document (with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint,
Word, WordPad, NotePad or other software), choose Print and select
doPDF from the list of printers. It will ask you where to save the
PDF file and when finished, the PDF file will be automatically
opened in your default PDF viewer (most likely Adobe Reader
8).
One “quirk” worth mentioning—when using the doPDF program to create pdf files, you should limit the file name to a maximum of 20 characters (including spaces) as the program may truncate the file name and remove the .pdf extension.
Creating PDF files is a good option when sharing documents with patrons, parents or students as everyone has access to the free Adobe Reader program. Not everyone has Microsoft Office (Word, Publisher, etc.), or perhaps not the same version of Microsoft Office, so using PDF files eliminates this barrier. Keep this in mind when inserting local document files on your Rock Creek Schools web page, or when e-mailing files……
